European Colonization of the Americas

Culture drove England, Spain, and France to their ideas of the exploration of America. Had each one developed similar ideas, then these three distinct civilizations would be blended together into one society today. Before the Americas, these three nations existed with similar race, social, and political structures. As they dispersed to the new world, each formed Latin, Central, and North America, with their own individual qualities.

Child labors lead to the colonization of America for England. A line of rulers spanning a time of about seventy five years lead England through a chain of events that left the nation in a impoverished and worn out state. Elizabeth I had to follow all this misfortune. She needed to gain all the popularity she could, because female rulers typically had a low support level. John Winthrop in A Modell of Christian Charity stated this, similar to her situation “For wee must consider that wee shall be a citty upon a hill. The eies of all people are upon us.” To impress the people and to appease she created a compromise religion, the Anglican Church, which basically said if you obey the law then you are a good citizen and your religion can be kept private. The people loved her; she ranked highly, during


The climate in France lead to the lack of interest in the new world as their economy bloomed. With climate perfect for agriculture, they became the leading producers in wheat, wine, and linen. This left no need for them to break into the enclosure movement because everything grew perfectly. Most just ignored the new world, and went on with their lives.

her time, of the most popular rulers.

Today, the differences between South, Central, and North America are extravagant. From slight differences in economic, cultural, and geographic forces three societies nearly identical formed three other differing nations. If France, Spain, or England had chosen a different colonial method, would the world be the same? No ones to say for sure, though many have tried.

By now, the French claimed two reasons to being in the new world, one, exchange of beaver and two the conversion of the Native Americans to Catholicism. French government decided in the early 1600’s that more settlers would protect the Canadian economy that developed. As they made their way through America’s maze of waterways, new territories popped up all over the place. Soon, in 1660, two thousand Frenchmen lived in New France, and they controlled most of the interior of North America, “The hope of greater advantages in case of settling in the interior, where the people are civilized, and where it is easier to plant the Christian faith,” Champlain gave the reasoning for moving towards the heart of America.

As Spain tried to take on the entire continent of Europe, cash flow became a real problem. Money continually poured into the country, but it went right back out into the war efforts. Spain became similar to an ATM, the money comes in and goes right back out. As with England, the new world seemed to be the solution to their problem. Spain had tried the enclosure movement but the success didn’t prevail as it did in England because of the climate. The dry climate made it difficult for anything to grow, including grass. When the grass would never replenish itself, the sheep lacked a source of food.

Now the new problem, England had this abundant supply of sailors, but what about ships? Ships required lumber and iron, which in turn required more wood. England’s natural resources began to diminish. America had a stockpile of untouched natural resources which the Queen soon realized. She being the Queen of England had, “title to all the west Indies, or as moche as is from Florida to the Circle artiicke,” as Hakluyt said. The poor flooded to America as sailors. Once there they began to build the much needed ships from the newly acquired forests. As Hakluyt puts it, “That this westerne voyadge will yelde unto us all the commodities of Europe, Affrica, and Asia, as far as wee were wonte to travell, and supply the wantes of all out decayed trades.” Spain by now had become authoritative in the new world and proved to be an annoyance. Though Hakluyt tended to think otherwise, “the limites of the kinge of Spaines dominions in the west Indies be not so large as is generally imagined.” Even so he had a solution if he guessed wrong, “That this voyage will be a great bridle to the Indies of the kinge of Spaine an
