Latin American Colonial History

Does anyone know from which regions in Iberia did the settlers to each Latin American country came from? I'm particularly interested in Brazil and Mexico

I don't knonw about monkeys but most spaniards that came here were andaluces

I was was told that the first settlers were almost all extremadurans, castillians and la manchans, and after the bourbon reforms in the 18th century, there was a massive wave of basques and northerners. The final big wave was gallegos in the 20th century.

yes also this, especially because the big ports were in the south

It's said that the two greatest Basque inventions were the Society of Jesus and the Republic of Chile.

Is this for Guatemala specifically or Hispanic America in general?
>castillians and la manchans
La Mancha is part of Castile

So this is why there is so many high class people here with "RR" surnames

I heard for spanish america in general, though the largest group was southerners, I forgot to mention that in my post, again because the ports were mostly down there.

Trás-os-Montes, Minho and Açores

>tfw Basque with family in Chile

So northern Portugal? Interesting

Basques came in waves just before independence having been given positions and power by the crown, Basque surnames are pretty high class in most latino countries

>having been given positions and power by the crown,
Why?

brazil is not latin american

Most "portuguese colonizers" were actually Jews that descended from templars.
Portuguese are the real first ever mutts.

>Jews that descended from templars.
Wut

yes, but in the 19th century people from all regions of Portugal migrated here

The colonial history of latam is so boring it brings me to tears. All the interesting and mythic events happened well before the spainiards and portueguese. The only exception being the mapuches war against the spanish.

Peninsulares and to encourage spanish migration and to keep loyalty to spain and away from latino criollos. Also many of the migrants were successful businessmen and or investors rather than poor or job seeking migrants. The bourbon reforms really changed who could immigrate, and the basques took advantage of the change.

Sorry, I mean to say spaniards gave government posts and land grants to new spanish immigrants rather than criollos. This was actually a major resentment as the criollos saw themselves as descendents of the conquistadores while these recien llegados just got gibs instead. Spain was paranoid of the criollos getting too much power and ironically just made things worse.

Were people from the Crown of Aragon allowed to immigrate after the Bourbon Reforms?

yes, before those reforms I know it was more difficult for certain parts of spain to immigrate, however I do not know the specifics I am afraid.

During the conquest: Andalusians
During most of the colonial era: Canarians
During the 19th century: Catalans and Majorcans

Most Portuguese settlers here hailed from northern Portugal (Minho etc.) and the Açores. From the north approximately 600.000 of them during the gold rush (1700-50) in Minas Gerais and from the Açores in the later half of that century, settling in the south.

I don't know exactly from where Portuguese immigrants came after our independence.

I am an American of Mexican descent. Though I am not sure exactly what regions of origin are most common, I can say that my founding ancestor on the American continent was from La Rioja, Spain. He settled in what is now Sonora, Mexico and Arizona, USA. He moved there because he had relatives who had settled there as well.
I've heard that Extremadura is where most Spanish colonists came from

I think people from former Aragon are pretty rare in Latin America

How come the Spanish settlers are from the south but Portuguese settlers are from the north?

Never heard of a single mention of Aragonese migration in any parts of Latin America, come to think of it.

You just said ?

I believe the North was more densely populated than the south and economic opportunities were relatively scarce, favouring emigration to Brazil.

>I believe the North was more densely populated than the south
I think it's now the reverse today

My (paternal) ancestors were most likely Extremadurans.
What can Zig Forums inform me about Extremadura and its native inhabitants?

Not exactly colonial history, but almost 700.000 Spaniards came to Brazil in the great migration era (1880-1960). Approximately half of them came from Andaluzia, 15-20% from Galicia, and ~10% from Castela and Leon.

That is where most Conquistadores came from. It was a poor part of spain that had recently been reconquered itself, so I assume that was a part of it.

Yes, I find the one about Catalans migrating more than Canarians during the 19th century a bit doubtful, but it was done by a scholar who has dedicated more research into the history of migration here, so maybe it was more accurate for the major cities.
