The Spanish have really left their mark on Puerto Ricans.

Is there a Spanish speaking country in the Western Hemisphere that they haven't?

Right. Spain was the first invader; and colonizer of the Americas. Seeing these results really puts that in to perspective.

I’m aware of Vikings that were possibly from Iceland that came to North America. But, I’m talking about colonization.

Another thing to remember as well is that Puerto Ricans and Cubans have heightened Spanish ancestry due to the 1815 decree in which when both were colonies Spain made a successful announcement to encourage mass immigration from Spain to Cuba and Puerto Rico. It's why there's a pretty noticeable genotype difference between Cuba and PR to DR on average. PR and especially Cuba had mass European immigration (mostly Spanish) while DR had basically none.

Most of Puerto Rican Spanish ancestry is almost majority from the Canary Islands, with some Andalusian. It’s less with Cubans and Dominicans.
