La diferencia en el tipo de colonización no viene por diferencias de mentalidad de unos u otros, si no por las épocas en las que se llevaron a cabo las colonizaciones.
The difference in the type of colonization is not due to differences in the mentality of one or the other, but to the times in which the colonizations were carried out.
The colonization of the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand is later than that of most of Latin America. However, Argentina or Uruguay, which received the contributions of European immigration in times more similar to those of these other "Anglo" countries, are more similar to them, as far as the contribution of European citizens is concerned.
Let's not forget that in America, the Anglos were discreetly sitting quietly in a remote corner of the northeast until the Spanish empire was in clear decline, colonization did not begin until long after all the Ibero-American countries became independent.
The effort of moving 1000 people across the Atlantic in 1520 would be equivalent to moving 10,000 in 1770, and maybe 100,000 in 1870. Not to mention that in 1520 the Spaniards were not in Mexico or Peru with scattered tribes of Indians, but with civilizations already formed, and before thinking of settling or bringing civilians, it was necessary to fight and bring soldiers.
Anyway, good job Anglos, you do it quite well, but not in the most in 4 countries, but unfortunately you did poorly in most of your former colonies. In fact, on average, you did much worse than we did.
But the question was about conquerors...wasn´t it?
