Answer:

Portugal and Spain.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, the American continent was discovered by Cristovão Colombo in the service of the Spanish crown. However, Spain had a much greater influence on the colonization of South America. As you can see, most countries in South America have Spanish as their main language and share numerous cultural characteristics with Spain and with each other. What the Spanish Influence in this territory shows us.

On the other hand, Portugal also had a strong influence, being the colonizer of Brazil, the only country in South America that uses Portuguese, and not Spanish, as the official language and that has few influences from Spanish culture, but that occupies the most of the South American territory.
