Answer:

The 18th century.

Columbus' colonies and conquests in the Americas in later decades helped to make Spain the largest empire until the 18th century.

Spain's colonies in the Americas provided the Spanish crown with a wealth of resources, including gold, silver, and agricultural products like sugar, tobacco, and cotton.

This wealth provided Spain with the means to expand its military forces and its political influence throughout Europe.
