The presence of the Hispanic Monarchy in America resulted in the dissemination of the identity of the conquerors, their language, developing an intense process of evangelisation, hispanisation and acculturation. In this context, the first universities were created in the mid-16th century, such as those of Mexico (1551) and Lima (1555). The process continued throughout the following decades with other foundations in other places, such as Quito.
