The Spanish occupied a vast region extending from the Gulf of California, across the desert, and along the Gulf Coast to Florida. The French settled primarily in New France, the area that would later become Canada.

England?s Imperial Stirrings By the year 1607, Central and South America was largely controlled by Spain or Portugal, but North America was mostly unclaimed. In North America, there were few Europeans. Spain had established Santa Fe. France had established Quebec. Britain had just established Jamestown, and it was struggling. In the 1500s, Britain had made only feeble efforts to colonize America. There was a rash of problems hinging on a mix of religion and politics? King Henry VIII?had broken with the Roman Catholic Church in the 1530s, brining the Protestant Reformation to England and thus creating religious division. When Elizabeth I became queen, England moved decidedly in the Protestant direction. This also meant Catholic Spain was an immediate rival.

New World Beginnings The Shaping of North America Recorded history began 6,000 years ago. It was 500 years ago that Europeans set foot on the Americas to begin the era of accurately recorded history on the continent. The theory of ?Pangaea? exists?suggesting that the continents were once nestled together into one mega-continent. The continents then spread out as drifting islands. Geologic forces of continental plates created the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. The Great Ice Age thrust down over North America and scoured the present day American Midwest. Peopling the Americas The ?Land Bridge? theory? As the Great Ice Age diminished, so did the glaciers over North America.
