The Roman Republic conquered Iberie durin the 2nt and 1st hunderyears BC. As a result o Roman colonization, the majority o local leids, wi the exception o Basque, stem frae the Vulgar Laitin. The Germanic Vandals an Suebi, wi pairt o the Iranian Alans unner Keeng Respendial, arrivit in the peninsula in 409 AD. The Iberian Peninsula wis invadit bi Muslim airmies in 711.[5] Ultimately, Jews an Muslims either convertit tae Catholicism or wur expelled frae Spain in 1492 an 1502, follaein the Reconquista. In the 16t hunderyear, a wave o emigration began, wi 240,000 Spaniards voyagin tae the Americas. They wur jyned bi 450,000 in the next hunderyear.[6] Syne the conquest o Mexico an Peru these twa regions became the principal destinations o Spaingie colonial settlers in the 16t hunderyear.[7] In the period 1850–1950, 3.5 million Spaingie left for the Americas, pairticularly Argentinae, Uruguay, Mexico,[8] Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, an Cuba.[9]
