This empire, along with Portugal, can claim to be among the first global empires in the world. What is the name of this other Iberian Empire?

The Spanish Empire began in the late 1400s/early 1500s when the country started to explore, settle, and conquer many areas of the New World, Africa, and islands in the Pacific. Beginning in the late 1700s, through a series of revolts, lost wars, and treaties, countries throughout the empire were either granted independence or were acquired by other empires.
