>Why iberians
You must mean Portuguese, Spaniards didn't do much outside Morocco, which is arguably as much a French colony and the tiny country of Equatorial Guinea.

Leo Hernandez

America was the new world, everyone knew there was Asia and chinese people in the east
but America was virgin and unexplored
James Gutierrez
But you bleached the Canary Islands and most Latinos are half Spanish, why didnt you do the same to the Phillipines/Mainland Africa
Nathaniel James
Mostly trade outposts with low migration of europeans
Xavier Cooper
i think it was cause america had gold and many other resources, and was better for the kings to promote go into america than send people to places that were less profitable, but really dont know.
Also why didnt you bleached all of china and india like america/australia? now we have trillion of those roach alive

Because in Africa and the Phillipines they weren't vulnerable to European diseases. Plus the strategic value of those colonies wasn't that relevant.

most of latam was empty
Isaac Peterson
We managed to convert many savages, but Muslims are still a problem.
Robert Bennett
because they didnt migrated there.

The thing is that the genetic legacy left by Iberians in América isn't as big as people believe. WHile most of the population there is "of Spanish decent", the amount of Spanish blood actually in them is not that relevant.
Spanish legacy has been preserved by name and surnames, as quite a few americanos with no Spanish blood still have Spanish names and surnames.

Christopher Wood
Source that, as it is highly improbable.
