 This impasse was resolved through negotiations between the juntas and the Council of Castile , which led to the creation of a " Supreme Central and Governmental Junta of Spain and the Indies " on September 25 , 1808 . It was agreed that the traditional kingdoms of the peninsula would send two representatives to this Central Junta , and that the overseas kingdoms would send one representative each . These " kingdoms " were defined as " the viceroyalties of New Spain , Peru , New Granada , and Buenos Aires , and the independent captaincies general of the island of Cuba , Puerto Rico , Guatemala , Chile , Province of Venezuela , and the Philippines .

 Beginning in 1492 with the voyages of Christopher Columbus under the direction of Isabella I of Castile , the Spanish Crown amassed a large American empire over three centuries , spreading first from the Caribbean to Central America , most of South America , Mexico , what is today the Southwestern United States , and the Pacific coast of North America up to Alaska . These regions formed the majority of the Viceroyalty of New Spain , the Viceroyalty of Peru , the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata , and the Viceroyalty of New Granada , in each of which the Spanish monarch was represented by a viceroy . By the early 19th century , however , the Spanish sovereign 's possessions in the Americas began a series of independence movements , which culminated in the Crown 's loss of all its colonies on the mainland of North and South America by 1825 . The remaining colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico were occupied by the United States following the Spanish – American War , ending Spanish rule in the Americas by 1899 .

 The settings within Tintin have also added depth to the strips . Hergé mingles real and fictional lands into his stories , along with a base in Belgium from where Tintin sets off — originally 26 Labrador Road , but later Marlinspike Hall . The role of setting is aptly demonstrated in King Ottokar 's Sceptre , in which Hergé creates two fictional countries , Syldavia and Borduria , and invites the reader to tour them in text through the insertion of a travel brochure into the storyline . Other fictional lands include Khemed on the Arabian Peninsula and San Theodoros , São Rico , and Nuevo Rico in South America , as well as the kingdom of Gaipajama in India . Along with these fictitious locations , actual nations were employed such as Belgium , Switzerland , the United Kingdom , the United States , the Soviet Union , Congo , Peru , India , Egypt , Indonesia , Nepal , Tibet , and China . Other actual locales used were the Sahara , the Atlantic Ocean , and the Moon .
