D) the Inca empire
E) the Aztec empire



Answer :

Final answer:

Brazil was not part of the Spanish colonial empire but was under Portuguese control in South America.


Explanation:

Brazil was not part of the Spanish colonial empire. Portugal claimed Brazil as its own territory. The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 divided the New World between Spain and Portugal, with Brazil falling under Portuguese control. Unlike the Spanish colonies with gold and silver wealth, Brazil's profits came from brazilwood, plantation agriculture, and cattle ranching.
