Answer 1

The Spanish sugar farms in the Canary Islands and on the island of Majorca served as a model for the plantation system of agriculture and slave exploitation that would later develop in America and the Caribbean. The Spanish were among the first Europeans to establish large-scale sugar plantations, using enslaved labor, in their overseas colonies. They developed techniques for cultivating sugar cane and processing sugar that were later adopted and expanded upon by other European powers in their colonial ventures, particularly in the Americas and the Caribbean.

The Portuguese system developed on the island of São Tomé also played a role in shaping aspects of the plantation system, as they were involved in sugar production and the use of enslaved labor. However, the Spanish sugar farms are more commonly associated with serving as the initial model for the plantation system that was later adopted and adapted by other colonial powers.
