Who were the best conquerors, Anglos or Iberians?

I think the only thing that could equal or surpass the discovery of America/conquest is space exploration/colonization.

Spaniards invented the cowboy and ranching culture too. They brought Texas longhorns to America, etc.

American Far west is just a more modern and augmented version of what was already there. the ranches, The horses, the cattle routes, the cowboy aesthetics, the rodeo, the fort, and the fights against the Indian tribes.

I wish I could go back in time as a fly on the wall and witness that history.

Conquistadors or conquistadores (meaning 'conquerors') were the explorer-soldiers of the Spanish and Portuguese Empires of the 15th and 16th centuries. During the Age of Discovery, conquistadors sailed beyond Europe to the Americas, Oceania, Africa, and Asia, colonizing and opening trade routes. They brought much of the Americas under the dominion of Spain and Portugal.


The British are not traditionally associated with "Conquests".

Anglos, cos they conquered like 70% of the world and have successful nations like USA, Canada, NZ and Australia.

Spain has rapist/murder/drug nations like Mexico and most of South America. Portugal has violent mugging country like Brazil. Yeah, great conquerors!

Iberians would've been good f***ers tho

Conquista is not a settler colonialism. Conquista is a war. There is a difference, my friend.

You should find some Spaniard for yourself, gabacha.

False, and most of their "conquest" lasted a few decades or even just years.

and have successful nations like USA, Canada, NZ and Australia.

what about India, Jamaica, South Africa, Kenia, etc?

Also you are mistaking conquest with colonization or even worse, conquest (what Spaniards and Portuguese did) with the achievements of mongrels that live currently in these countries.
