Political Geography: Spanish Colonies #1

Read the name of the colony and then identify the present-day sovereign state(s) that contain its territory.

The first letter of each answer is given in the column preceding the answer. If the first letter displays as red text, the answer is located in Africa. If the first letter displays as blue text, the answer is located in Asia or Oceania. All other answers are located in the Americas.

The end date of the colonial territory is not necessarily the same year the colony became independent or lost territory to the sovereign state that is the answer.
Some colonial territories span multiple continents.
