Which country had maximum number of colonies in Latin America ?

  • A.Spain
  • B.Portugal
  • C.France
  • D.Britain

Answer: A

The country with the most colonies in Latin America was Spain.

From the sixteenth century Spain ruled most of the region through the viceroyalties of New Spain, Peru, New Granada and the Rio de la Plata, stretching from Mexico to Argentina. Almost all of today's Spanish-speaking republics were once its colonies.

Portugal held one very large colony, Brazil. France and Britain had only smaller footholds, such as Haiti and French Guiana, or British Guiana, British Honduras and Caribbean islands.
