Answer: 1.) Spain Had Big Ideas for the New World

2.) The Dutch Were Successful in North America

3.) England Established Permanent Colonies

Explanation:

Spain Had Big Ideas for the New World

Spain was driven by fame and fortune. The country conquered many lands and empires. Most were in Central America and South America. While they were not as successful in the rest of North America, there are still signs of their rule. A fort built in present-day Florida by the Spanish in 1565 is the oldest surviving European post in the United States.

The Spanish also wanted to spread the Christian faith to Native Americans. Missions were created to teach the native people European ways. The first mission was led by Don Juan in New Mexico in 1598. It was followed by many others as they became more established. Expanding from villages to cities, the missions became home to explorers and other settlers. Some of today's largest cities in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and California were once missions.

The Dutch Were Successful in North America

In 1534, the French began claiming land in northern North America, and by 1608, they had also taken over land in Canada. France traded animal furs with the Native Americans. However, the French influence in North America was always relatively small.

Even though it is a small country, the Netherlands prospered in North America because of its navy. The Dutch controlled trade with islands in Indonesia, which gave them great power. Henry Hudson, an English explorer was hired to find a faster route to the Indonesian islands. He did not find a passage, but he did find a river, which was named the Hudson River. This flows between what is now New Jersey and New York.

The Dutch bought the island of Manhattan from Native Americans who lived in the area in 1626. However, in 1664, the British took over the colony and renamed it New York.

England Established Permanent Colonies

England had the most success of all the European countries colonizing other lands. King James I colonized Virginia in 1606. While England was also motivated by the route by sea and the riches of the New World, the country had different reasons for colonizing.

Freedom of faith was a big motivation for the English. In 1620, a group of settlers left England to seek the New World. Many were separatists, who believed the Church of England was dishonorable. By seeking out the New World, they were trying to break away and worship their own faith. They attempted to get to Virginia, but their ship landed on the coast of modern-day Massachusetts.

These were the first Pilgrims and many others followed. The Pilgrims from England worked in fishing, lumber and shipbuilding. Those farther south produced tobacco, rice, and indigo. All of this worked out well for Britain until the colonies fought for and won their independence 200 years later.

 

Motivations for Colonization

The opportunity to make money was one of the primary motivators for the colonization of the New World. The Virginia Company of London established the Jamestown colony to make a profit for its investors.

Marina CMI [18]

(This question was incomplete but i found the complete question on the internet, and it's the following:

Jordan and Doris are teenagers who live near six other teens. All eight of the teens tried out for the high school play, and all but Jordan and Doris were rewarded with a part in that play. Though Jordan and Doris were bummed about not getting a part, they were more upset by the behaviors of the other six teens. It seemed that all of the students in the play formed a strong bond and sense of togetherness. They did not want anything to do with other students who were not in the play. Because of that, Jordan and Doris rarely see the other six teens from the neighborhood anymore. According to research in social psychology, which of the following is TRUE?

A) Jordan and Doris are part of the out-group.

B) Doris and Jordan are part of the in-group.)

Answer:

The correct answer is A.) Jordan and Doris are part of the out-group.

Explanation:

In psychology, in-group and out-group reffers to the psychological identification an individual has as being or not a member in a social group, when the individual is part of the in-group he feels identified as being a member and on the contrary when is part of the out-grop the individual doesn't feel identified by it. In Doris and Jodran's case they are clearly part of the out-group because they don't feel identified anymore with the group because of the play situation, and cause them to rarely see the other teens.
