Explanation:

The Europeans competed to increase wealth and power by expanding empires to America, they decided to go to Jamestown, Virginia (home to the ruins of the first permanent English settlement in North America.)

When the settlers arrived Jamestown was located on a narrow peninsula bordered on three sides, which later changed location to an island in the James River.

The reason as to why they chose a location near water, was because the location could be easily defended from attacks by sea, the water along the shore was deep enough for ships to dock, and because they had a good supply of freshwater.

How did bienville become leader of the Louisiana colony
White raven [17]

Answer:

Después de la muerte de Sauvolle en 1701, Bienville ascendió al cargo de gobernador del nuevo territorio para el primero de sus cuatro gobiernos. Por 1701, sólo 180 personas permanecieron en la colonia; el resto había muerto a causa de la desnutrición y las enfermedades. Bienville fue gobernador por un total de 30 años.

Explanation:

Entre las recomendaciones de su hermano, Bienville trasladó la mayoría de los colonos a un nuevo asentamiento en lo que hoy es Alabama en el lado oeste del río Mobile, llamado Fort Louis de la Mobile (o "Mobille"). También estableció un puerto de aguas profundas cerca de Dauphin Island para la colonia, como la bahía de Mobile y el río Mobile eran demasiado poco profundos para buques de navegación marítima. La población de la colonia fluctuó en los próximos años. En 1704, en parte, debido al miedo a que la confraternización de los soldados franceses con mujeres nativas puedan conducir a un conflicto, Bienville hizo arreglos para la importación de veinticuatro mujeres jóvenes francesas. Por tradición las jóvenes fueron seleccionados de conventos, aunque la mayoría eran probablemente de familias pobres, y viajaron al Nuevo Mundo con sus posesiones en pequeños troncos conocidos como casetes, por lo que son conocidos en las historias locales como Las chicas casquette en la tradición temprana y por la traducción en inglés de las niñas ataúd en la tradición posterior.
