Consider the following statement:
“Through its policies, Spain gave
up its right to rule in South
America.” Do you agree or
disagree? Explain. Did Spain ever
have the right to rule?
In my opinion, Spain didn't have the right to rule South America. There were many people there, and they were in need of decent ways to live, not a limit to freedom. But then again, Spain wanted more land, more money, more everything. They would obviously try to rule over whatever they could easily rule.
