What name was given to people born in Spain, but lived in the New World?

Question

A. Creoles
B. Peninsulares
C. Spaniards
D. Mestizos

Answer 1

Is it a question from a Be a millionaire! show? Sounds like that...
In that case you probably not interested anymore, but I give the answer:

The right one is the C- Peninsulares

In the colonial caste system of Spanish America, a peninsular was a Spanish-born Spaniard residing in the New World, as opposed to a person of full Spanish descent born in the Americas (known as criollos, or Creoles - answer A). Peninsulares held high official power or positions in the Americas.
The caste system distinguished also mestizos (of mixed Spanish and Amerindian ancestry, answer D).

If I was wrong and you are really interested in it, let's check the source, simply and out-and-out.

Answer 2

Are you talking the Spanish New World or the English New World?

Mestizos were Spaniards born in the New World. If the answer is not C (Spaniards), it is B (Peninsulares). That refers to the Spanish penisula.

Answer 3

None of the above? Creoles were people of pure Spanish decent but who were born in Latin America. Mestizos were those of mixed Spanish/Creole blood along with some kind of other race.. like black or natives Indian types.

Answer 4

A. Creoles

P.S. Demun, The New World consisted of more than just what is now the United States. Canada, Mexico, South America for example.

Answer 5

If you live in the "new world" you should consider yourself AMERICAN regardless of where you came from.....but the answer is probably C
