In the 17th and 18th centuries the encomienda existed alongside other forms of colonial exploitation, such as the mita and peonage.

New Spain was a viceroyalty, or administrative unit of the Spanish colonial empire. Its capital was Mexico City, formerly Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire. New Spain was established following the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in 1521. The creation of a viceroyalty in the Americas was a result of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire (1519 to 1521).
