Spanish was developed centuries before French
Portuguese evolved first from Galician-Portuguese in the 12th century in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Spanish, as a distinct language, emerged later in the 13th century in the central region of the Iberian Peninsula.
Spanish first emerged as a distinct language around the 9th century AD, evolving from Vulgar Latin spoken by the Roman conquerors in the Iberian Peninsula. This process continued through the medieval period, solidifying Spanish as the language of the region.
Spanish language first came to the territory now occupied by the Americas because it was the language of the explorers and settlers who set out from Spain's Caribbean outposts and from New Spain (Mexico) in the early sixteenth century.
English language, which uses the English alphabet, came later than Spanish. Spanish developed from Latin, which was used in the Iberian Peninsula since Roman times, while English evolved from the Germanic languages spoken by tribes in what is now England.
The french had colonies in Africa and that is how the language came to Africa. Why it's still there? Because the inhabitants were used to french when they left and so they continued speaking it.
Spanish, like Italian, French, etc., is a romance language. That means that it evolved from the language of the Romans, Latin.
Italian, Spanish, French are all examples of latin-based languages.
