Question

3. What was the first profitable Spanish colony in the Central American region called?

Answer 1

Answer:

Castilla del Oro

Explanation:

Crossing the isthmus, Balboa discovered the “South Sea” (Pacific Ocean) in 1513 and claimed for Spain all the lands it touched. Balboa cultivated good Indian relations, made extensive explorations, and found enough gold and pearls to make Castilla del Oro, as it was called, the first profitable colony in the New World.
