European countries, especially Great Britain, Spain, and France, colonized all over. They did this for many reasons like for wealth, land, religious freedom, trade, and spreading catholicism. Some examples are:
•The British: 13 colonies, parts of present day Canada.
•The French: colonized parts of Canada to New Orleans (U.S) and controlled the territory along the Mississippi river.
•The Spanish: colonized Central/South America and Florida.
