Explanation:
England was looking for the settlement of colonies to get resources for its economy. Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in America. The main reason for establishing colonies in America was for economic investment. England entered the competition as other European Empires began to establish colonies in America to increase wealth and power.
Spain established colonies in Latin America, and its goal was to acquire gold and silver for the Spanish economy. Spain also converted Native Americans to Christianity to save their soul from heathen. Spain conquered ancient civilizations including Maya, Aztec, and Inca and established colonies with Spanish soldiers, conquistadors and Spaniards.
France founded colonies in eastern North America, and on several Caribbean islands. Most colonies developed to export products such as fish, rice, sugar, and furs. France colonized Canada because of the Beaver(furs) they found there. The French traded for fur pelts from the Indians and transported in Europe because of the profit it got where people were willing to pay the price for it.
