In the 16th century, Spain emerged as the most powerful country, largely due to its vast empire and wealth derived from colonies in the Americas. The Spanish monarchy, particularly under King Charles I and later Philip II, wielded significant influence in European and global politics. Spain's dominance was marked by military conquests, a strong navy, and the establishment of trade routes, which positioned it at the forefront of the Age of Exploration. Additionally, the Spanish Inquisition and religious conflicts further shaped its power dynamics during this period.

The most powerful group in the Latin American colonies were the Creoles, who were of European descent but born in the Americas. They held significant economic and social influence, often owning large estates and businesses. Despite their power, they were frequently marginalized by the peninsulares, those born in Spain, which fueled discontent and ultimately contributed to independence movements across the region. The interplay between these two groups significantly shaped the colonial hierarchy and the dynamics of power in Latin America.
