Obviously Spain. The Canary Islands were first visited by Christopher Columbus in 1492, and they are still part of Spain today. The Philippines were dicorvesed by the Spaniard Ferdinand Magellan in the 16h century, and Spain controlled the islands until they were lost to a war against the United States in 1898. Many people there still have Spanish names and speak Spanish.
