| The British first began their attempts at colonizing the North American continent during the commencement of the seventeenth century. However, these attempts, made by sea-dogs such as Walter Raleigh, were sporadic and, most often, unsuccessful. In 1607, however, England's luck changed with the erection of the Jamestown settlement. This colony, located by the Chesapeake Bay, was the first successful English territory on American grounds and served as the starting point for British dominance of the Americas. As Jamestown blossomed from a backwards, primal territory to an established community, the British began to put more effort into their colonizing attempts. This effort proved worthwhile. By the turn of the seventeenth century, England had numerous colonies scattered across the eastern coast of the Atlantic coast. Ultimately, it would be the British who colonized the majority of the American continent.

| ==== Colonization of the Americas ====

| France colonized a very large land mass in America. They called their colony New France, and it covered a large area ranging from eastern Canada as well as area in the Appalachians. France also colonized land east of the Mississippi River, stretching from the Great Lakes down to the Gulf of Mexico. In New France they established trading outposts for the very profitable fur trade. Some of the trading outposts include Detroit, St. Louis, and New Orleans. Although with Colonies so close to British colonies, France was bound to get into conflict with Great Britain. The French and Indian Wars lasted seven years and France lost most of its colonial holdings to Great Britain as a result of the war, including all of Canada. When France sold the Remainder of New France to the United States in 1803, France no longer had Colonies in America.

| ==== Colonization of the Americas ====

| Spain was one of the earliest European countries that attempted to colonize the Americas. The Catholic land began its Western conquests in the fifteenth century when they implemented their conquistador system. These conquistadors or Spanish mercenaries, such as Francisco Pizarro and Hernan Cortes, were the founders of the Spanish colonization effort. Their work in the Americas laid the foundation for Spanish occupation. The Spaniards took advantage of this opportunity and erected settlements throughout Florida and California. The most notable
