Check your sources, do not write false information, because the reader will judge your level of intelligence by the mistakes you make

Spain, which owned all of America, the entire continent of America was Spanish, from Alaska in Fort San Juan, to the Strait of Magellan, ceded part of that territory due to a legal dispute to Portugal, that territory was called Brazil

Your claims that it was a colonial country are out of place, the American Indians had the same rights as Spanish citizens, in fact they called themselves Spaniards of America

Spain never had colonies, Spain had a viceroyalty and provinces but never colonies

Hmm, I wonder if this might be a difference in terminology. Though there were differences between the European nations' governance of their overseas holdings, Spain conquered places and did a lot of colonialist-shaped things (there are a lot of sources on their efforts in this regard in the Americas, alone, at the bottom of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_colonization_of_the_Americas)

CAFE: El primer europeo que lo conoce es , Pedro Páez Jaramillo, monje jesuita español que sube el río Nilo y es el primer europeo que llegó a las fuentes del Nilo Azul en 1618. y se desvía y a lo que es actualmente Etiopía, él es el primero que lo describe el café, como un liquido negro, habia sido invitado por el emperador etíope Za Dengel, y describe su sabor, su aspecto, etc.

El café sería llevado posteriormente a América y cultivado por el español, José Gumilla , el tambien misionero jesuita, en 1730, a Nueva Granada (Venezuela) y desde allí pasaría a Colombia, Brasil y Honduras .

Gumilla murió en 1750 , era un misionero, pero a la vez un buen explorador, geógrafo, etnólogo, naturalista, lingüista e introductor del café al que tanto deben las economías muchos países.
