French, Spanish, and English Colonization
The French, Spanish, and English all tried to colonize the Western Hemisphere. The French colonization in America started in the 16th century, and continued through centuries as France created an empire in the Western Hemisphere. They founded most colonies in the east of the U.S.A, and many Caribbean islands. The English were one of the most important colonizers of the Americas, and really had a rivalry against the Spanish. The English began colonizing in the late 16th century and came out on top when all their colonies were built through America. The Spanish really conquered most of the Western Hemisphere, their colonization attempts were started by the Spanish conquistadors, It went from Christopher Columbus arriving in America in 1492 and went on for nearly four centuries when the Spanish Empire expanded in most of present day Central America.
The English reached it’s peak of gaining land through colonization in the late 16th century, they established many colonies throughout the Americas, they were very important colonizers of Americas, and had advances in military and economic features, though they were rivals with Spanish colonies. Even with their success, the English had their problems, their colonization attempts caused a lot of problems to civilizations in America, with their military, they caused cultural disruption, and they introduced many diseases throughout every colony. The English had the most advances in their war strategies with their long history of warfare, just like the Spanish. The French, English, and Spanish have something in common; trade was a huge part in their colonial policies, although the English promoted settlement and development more than the French and Spanish.
Though the French didn’t have the best military, they were very rich in the trading business. Most of the colonies they colonized were able to export products such as fish, sugar and furs. The French established forts and settlements that are now present day
