The European countries that became involved in colonization in the 1600s and the land they claimed were the following.
The 1600s were known as the years of expedition. A time in human history when European superpowers of the time invested a lot of money hiring professional sailors to navigate the seas, explore faraway territories to discover new lands or navigation routes.
That is why Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas on October 12, 1492. He had been sponsored by King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella de Castille, to explore and get new lands for the mighty Spanish crown. Once the discovery was made, the Spanish King sent his army to conquest Mesoamerican and South American territories, as was the case of the Great Tenochtitlan and the Aztec Empire, or the Inca Empire in Machu Pichu, Peru.
Then the English established the first British colony in the North American territory in 1607: Jamestown Virginia. Another 12 colonies followed on the East Coast. The French did the same in what today is Canada. The Netherlands founded New Amsterdam in what today is Manhattan, New York. The Portuguese colonized the Amazonic territories of what today is Brazil.

Opium Wars, two armed conflicts in China in the mid-19th century between the forces of Western countries and of the Qing dynasty, which ruled China from 1644 to 1911/12. The first Opium War (1839–42) was fought between China and Britain, and the second Opium War (1856–60), also known as the Arrow War or the Anglo-French War in China, was fought by Britain and France against China. In each case the foreign powers were victorious and gained commercial privileges and legal and territorial concessions in China. The conflicts marked the start of the era of unequal treaties and other inroads on Qing sovereignty that helped weaken and ultimately topple the dynasty in favour of republican China in the early 20th century.
