Even though they had this opportunity, they were not able to colonize specific areas in North America due to competition with other European countries.

In the last 50 years Spanish has evolved from a language spoken in Africa, Europe, America and Asia, to a language only spoke in Latin America and Spain. Every year the English language snatches Spanish-speaking native to theirs, making it more difficult for Spanish to spread and expand to more people. Globalization has whipped the world with their business languages, English, Mandarin Chinese and German, excluding the Spanish language to the world.
