I believe one important reason why England was behind Spain and Portugal in colonization was because the latter two countries are in or closely associated with the Mediterranean and that is where the heart of the foment for world explorations came from especially in Italy during the Renaissance.

The English colony in the present day US was not established until 1607.

Constantinople was therefore the new Roman capital. The Eastern Roman empire flourished for another thousand years, while the Western one declined in a few centuries.
