Detailed explanation-1: -The administration over the vast territories of the Spanish Empire was carried out by viceroys, who became governors of an area, which was considered not as a colony but as a province of the empire, with the same rights as any other province in Peninsular Spain.
Detailed explanation-2: -France and Spain, for instance, were governed by autocratic sovereigns whose rule was absolute; their colonists went to America as ser-vants of the Crown.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the eighteenth century, a burgeoning population, among other factors, led the Spanish to split the viceroyalty of Peru apart so that it could be governed more effectively. This move resulted in two new viceroyalties: New Granada and Río de la Plata.
