The Roman Catholic Church had a prominent role in the Spanish colonization of the Americas:

- How Bishop Diego de Landa collected every Mayan codex and then did a massive book burning with all of them.

- The Our Lady of Guadalupe apparition, which was used to convert natives to Christianity.

Another aspect that is missing is the Spanish caste system, where there was a racial hierarchy where indians and blacks had a lower social status.

And finally, other aspects are missing, such as the economic systems put in place by the Spanish:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encomienda

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacienda

Also, how the Spanish Phillipines were governed by the Viceroy of New Spain.
