What country controlled the majority of the Americas in 1783?
a. Great Britain
b. France
c. Spain
d. Native American
I chose c.
If you're asking about North and South America, it must be Spain.
Native American is not a country.
So, it's Spain? It's particularly talking about North America.
I know it's not Native American, it just one of the choices. :)
Thank you.
Check this map for North America.

You're very welcome. And congratulations!
The correct answer is c. Spain.
To determine the country that controlled the majority of the Americas in 1783, we need to know about historical events during that time period. In this case, we can consider the Treaty of Paris of 1783, which ended the American Revolutionary War and recognized the independence of the United States from Great Britain.
Before the American Revolutionary War, the majority of the Americas were under the control of European colonial powers. While France and Great Britain had significant territories in the Americas, it was Spain that had the largest and most extensive holdings.
Spain controlled vast territories in the Americas, including present-day Mexico, Central America, most of South America, and parts of the Caribbean. Spain's holdings included territories such as New Spain (now Mexico) and Peru, which encompassed large parts of modern-day countries in South America.
Therefore, the correct answer is c. Spain controlled the majority of the Americas in 1783.
