The two main reasons why the French established colonies in the Americas were the fur trade and the religious conversion.

Explanation:

The French were one of the major imperial powers. With the interest growing about the Americas, and the British and Spanish rushing to establish colonies, the French didn't wanted to risk and fall behind. Lot of expeditions were organized, and lot of settlements were created by the French.

The main reasons why the French established their colonies were the fur trade and the religious conversion. The fur trade was economically very important, as the fur was highly demanded and well paid for. That contributed to very good relations with the natives as well, as they were the main suppliers of the fur. The good relations contributed to easier conversion to Catholicism, which was also going in the best interest of the French.

The French managed to create colonies in:

the central part of the US
western part of Canada
Caribbean
northeastern South America

The conflict over the establishment of the state of Israel.

Immediately after Israel declared itself an independent nation (free of British mandate control), a coalition of Arab states attacked, in 1948.

Further wars between Israel and Arab neighboring states occurred in 1967 (the Six Day War) and in 1973 (the Ramadan or Yom Kippur War).
