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.
Advantages:
The island geography means that Japan was fairly isolated and developed a distinct culture.
The threat of invasion was very less considering the fact that seas surrounding Japan are aggressive in nature.
The volcanic nature of Japanese islands is responsible for extremely fertile soil which makes it an excellent agrarian producer.
Surrounding seas enable a fishing economy to flourish.
The streamlined nature of Japanese islands and the proximity to the ocean ensure that there are no water shortages in the country.
The climate created by the relief, winds, currents etc make it an excellent tourist attraction.
Japan is rich in natural sceneries and the aesthetically pleasing culture adds a flair for tourists to admire.
Disadvantages:
Japanese islands are extremely mountainous and relief makes it harder for development on most of the country's landmass.
Volcanic mountains are common and eruptions can hit at any time.
Earthquakes are extremely common and cities are rebuilt almost every few years.
Winters can get extremely cold and unbearable.
Britain wanted control over the Suez Canal because it was the shortest naval route between Europe and Asia.
