Hmm.. :/

Answer 35

caudillos: military strongmen who seized power in South America nations after their liberation from Spain.

creoles: a person of Spanish descent born and raised in the Americas; socially, Creoles ranked beneath peninsulares, who were colonists born in Spain.

conquistadores: "conqueror" in Spanish; Spanish soldiers who conquered native peoples in Latin America in early sixteen century.

All this is written in my book! Can't find "peninsulares" though
