You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

After the 1494 territorial division of South America between Spain and Portugal in the [[Treaty of Tordesillas]], the  colonial administration of the continent was divided into [[Governorate]]s.

* [[Governorate of New Castile]], granted in 1529 to [[Francisco Pizarro]] and redefined in 1534, it consisted of the territories approximately from the present [[Ecuador]]–[[Colombia]] border in the north to [[Cusco]] in the south
* [[Captaincy General of Chile|Governorate of New Toledo]], granted in 1534 to [[Diego de Almagro]] and consisting of the southern half of the former [[Inca Empire]], [[Bolivia]], parts of Southern Brazil, and stretching towards current parts of northern [[Chile]].
* [[Governorate of New Andalusia]], granted in 1534 to [[Pedro de Mendoza]], was defined as stretching 200 [[league (unit)|league]]s along the Pacific coast south of the New Toledo grant and reaching east to the Atlantic, covering the vast territory of current days North and Central [[Argentina]], the totality of [[Uruguay]] and [[Paraguay]], and parts of Central [[Chile]]. Only small areas of it were colonized, mainly along the [[Paraná River]]; this region did not fully develop colonially until decades later.
* [[Governorate of New Léon]], granted in 1529 to ((ill|Simón de Alcazaba y Sotomayor|es)) and redefined in 1534, it consisted of the southernmost part of the continent covering the Southern tip of the continent what is today current [[Patagonia]] [[Argentina]] and [[Chile]], and Southern islands towards [[Antarctica]]; this was the last part of the colony to develop; and eventually attacked by the British pirates coming from [[Europe]] crossing the waters towards the Pacific Ocean en route to [[Tasmania]] current days [[Australia]].
* [[Governorate of the Río de la Plata]], established in 1549, it was originally simply a renamed New Andalusia until it was reorganized in the 17th century after successful settlement, this territory was granted to Governor [[Domingo Martínez de Irala]] and developed around the Silver River (Spanish: [[Río de la Plata]]) this governorate gave origin to the creation of [[Argentina]] and [[Uruguay]].
