Both the English and the French sought profit from the establishment of their colonies, with both nations engaging in mercantilism to compete economically. The similar economic strategies of England and France display the broad similarities between countries’ colonization efforts at the time, but that similarity is only on the surface level. Sure, European countries aimed for the same broad goals, but the different ways they pursued those goals would ultimately determine who was the most successful. The colonization patterns of the English and French in the new world differed greatly, mostly in volume of migrants, specializations of the colonies, and their treatment of the natives.

Some might say that the extent to which european colonization patterns differed socially, politically and economically is that they were more different because Spanish colonies had mostly men, while the English consisted of both men and women. And because of this Spanish colonies had “mestizos”(I.e mixed Spanish and natives), as well as “mulatos”(I.e mixed Spanish and African), and the British mostly remained the same in their population.

However English and Spanish colonizers both looked at natives as "inferiors",  took over their land, also slave them which later led to conflict with each other. Not only that but european colonizers both want it to explore the western territory to get wealth, spread christianity, and become more powerful and have better status as a world power.
And lastly european colonizers both rely on similar types of economic activity such as trade, fishing and farming to move their economy. Therefore the extent to which two European colonization patterns differed socially, politically and economically is that they were very similar.

Although having similar economies, the French and Spanish settlements in the new world were more different than similar because the exports of the two colonies had different goals ,the two colonies had different settlements (French trading posts vs developed Spanish towns and cities), and the two colonies exported different materials.

Both the English and Spanish colonies sought out power and glory for their countries, as well as the vast wealth that could come from the resources in the Americas.  However, their differing religious freedoms, patterns of settlement, and interactions with the Native Americans differed drastically.  Therefore, regardless of their similarities, there were greater differences between the English and Spanish colonies.

Although Spain and England both promoted eurocentrism and looked down on the Native Americans and their ideals of sharing land, Spain and England were different socially, economically and politically. For example, ​England colonies originally entered America while bringing women and children to create permanence in society.​ ​They had a structure for tax collection there, whereas the Spains had a couple people take taxes.​ ​Spain mainly focused on Gold, but England wanted to depend on mercantalism for agriculture, gold and emphasized mercantalism and the navigational acts.

The biggest difference between French and English colonies was the permanence of their settlements, with the English having a far more long-term outlook on their American colonies, while the French focused on accumulating wealth through trade. English and French colonies differed greatly in their political structures and political authority, their economic goals, and their social interactions and structure.

The different countries all had a common goal that they were trying to reach, which was enriching the mother country. However, They all handled disrupting native land differently. They all had different relationships with the native people. They made different systems for the economy, examples being Encomienda and the Caste system. Therefore, European colonization patterns had more significant differences than similarities.

Although someone may believe that the British and Spanish are more different, they are actually more similar because they shared a religion, they colonized for profit and they both had slaves.

French and English settlers had similar reasons for their colonization of the new world and treatment of the natives, including a drive for wealth from the valuable resources derived from the land, the spread of their faith to the native populations, and recognition and power for their countries. The differences, however lie in the reasoning behind the actions of both the French and English colonies, where the English excluded natives from their colonies, the French formed allies and intermarried with the natives, along with the differences of types of people allowed in the new world by each country, the English had many settlers of different genders and trades, whereas the French stuck with a few amount of male settlers in their colonies.

Although the English and French colonies were initially established for the same reason, they became more different than they were the same because of the English colonies’ heavier focus on agriculture, more liberal immigration policy, and greater self-autonomy.

While it can be argued that the treatment received by the Native Americans differed between the French and Spanish colonies, the French and Spanish colonies overall had more similar aspects when it came to settling and colonizing the Native Americans. The royal families in Spain and France had complete control when it came to governing the settlements in the Americas. The royal family helped with funding and making sure the voyagers could make their trip to the Americas. This was a large factor in why the missionaries had little control over the government. Both colonies were also primarily Catholic and felt a strong need to spread their religion. This was due to the royal family’s belief that the Native Americans as people in need of saving. When it came to money, the French and Spanish colonies traded with the Native Americans often and it was seen as their main source of income. It was more profitable for both the Europeans and the Native Americans.

Although the colonization patterns of both the French and English were established in the same areas to reach the same goals, the colonization patterns by the French were different than those of the English because the French had much better relations with the natives than the English, English colonies had significantly more independence in their local governments than the French, and the two countries took two vastly different economic approaches in their colonies

# data[].attributes.body
Although the French and English shared similar qualities in their colonization of the Americas, they possessed a greater extent of differences overall because of the economical contrasts regarding population and trade, dissimilar treatment by the English and French to the various tribes residing in the Americas, and opposing standpoints of political policies pertaining to local governments and representative assemblies.

Although the Spanish and English had similar intent for exerting their power through god, glory, and gold in this new region, the bigger picture shows that the colonies were in fact more different than similar because of their approaches to gain these standings. The Spanish had a stronger intent for immediate wealth and glory meanwhile the English clearly wanted to acquire much more resources/land/wealth overtime to stay longer. The English had completely alienated themselves when it came to natives, meaning they never interbred or coincided when on the other hand, the Spanish had mainly colonized with men and eventually led to a racially mixed population. The English started with the approach to keep good relations with the natives but eventually showed their true intent to colonize/take over their land and use them as slaves. Contradictory, the Spanish started with a much harsher intent to use them as slaves and act as if they were inferior which eventually led to them falling to the Natives for around 10 years because of the Pueblo revolt which led to coinciding.

The French made alliances with the Natives unlike the Spanish who conquered the Natives. The French also primarily focused on the fur trade while the Spanish focused on other trades like gold and spices. The Spanish also put much more effort into converting the Natives to Christianity, unlike the French who let the Natives have freedom over their religion.

Although the Europeans all began colonization for sake of amassing wealth and land, their executions were very different, which can be seen in how the Spanish people came in immense numbers for personal glory and in how the Spanish implemented racist policies and a racist social structure: this contrasts starkly against the French who allowed the indigenous to maintain relative sovereignty while engaging in fair trade with them.

The colonies that settled in America did have similar reasons for exploration at first such as gold, glory, and god. However, different interactions with Native Americans that led to friendly relationships or conflict, different ideas of how to make money in the new world from trading or trying to find gold, and different levels of freedom from the government of their home country therefore led to very different colonies around America.

Both countries sent colonies to the Americas to expand their empires and make money however,The english’s economy was very diverse and the french economy was just bare necessities needed for fur trapping, the french had a good relationship with the natives and the english exploited them for gain once they didn't need their help, and the english had a lot more religious freedom than the french did. Therefore, There are more differences between the french and english colonies than there are differences.

During colonization, themes of mercantilism and gold drove French and English colony settlement. However, the differences in pursual of economic income resulted in dissimilar patterns of interaction with their outside environment as seen through their differing ruling structures, methods of generating revenue, and relations with Native populations.

Although the Spanish and English came in with similar goals of colonization and taking back wealth to the mother country, colonization patterns between the two differed greatly. This was due to social, economic, and political differences such as the number of men and women sent to the new world and the involvement of the mother country in the decision-making of the colonies.

Although most European colonization in the Americas was born of a desire for economic, religious, and political power, European nations often differed fundamentally and extensively in their approach to colonization because the French did not desire conquest of Native land in the way the English did, the French crown had substantially more control over their colonies that the English, and the English relied primarily on tobacco farming while the French relied on the fur trade.

While these European powers did have basic similarities, they each had their own way of doing things. Many of them came here in the first place to gain more influence and resources while also maintaining the power of the mother country. These countries, to a great extent, differed socially, politically, and economically. The English Colonies had diverse economic activities and traded many things such as tobacco, rice, and lumber to the natives for which they received rare new world commodities such as corn, sugar, and tobacco. The French Government, instead of diversifying trade, mainly focused on the highly lucrative fur trade with the Natives. This trade was also boosted by the fact that The French had a largely positive relationship with the natives. Another way these two powers differed was that the English were allowed to set up local governments and representative assemblies in the new world. This would eventually lead to the formation of another country that would be quite rebellious…. However, the French on the other hand has strict rules and had no political rights or representative government, and had a large army force to enforce the crown. Yet, the English and French differed most in that of their relationship with the original people of the Americas, the Natives. The English became greedy over time and encroached further and further into Native territory lead to a waring relationship. While the French maintained strong alliances with them and traded to make a larger profit.

There were similarities between English and Spanish colonies in the beginning of their colonization of The Americas. However, they viewed the natives very differently, had contrasting demographics in their colonies and were focusing on making profit through differing ways. Therefore, English and Spanish colonies differed greatly, impacting their political, economic and social patterns of colonization.

Although Spain and England had similar reasons for colonizing including monetary wealth, the colonization patterns of England and Spain are significantly different because of the different political systems in place in the English and Spanish colonies such as the caste system, the different types of relations that the English colonizers and the Spanish had with the Native Americans, and that the Spanish and English colonies had different types of trading systems and trading products that brought them wealth.

Although the Spanish and French colonies seem to be more different due to their differing treatment of the natives, they were actually more similar because they both intermarried with natives either to convert them or to gain resources and knowledge, had similar goals to find valuable resources like gold or fur to support a mainly trade-based economy, and were not as successful as the English in sustaining their colonies as a result of size and distribution of the colonies or relations with the Native Americans.

Although The British and French both had the desire to conquer land and spread their ideology to others, the British and French colonies had more differences than similarities with each other. This is mainly attributed towards their governments, their interactions with the native population, and how this affected their land use. Their systems of governance are different because the British colonies worked independently whereas the French had its king be in charge predominantly. In addition, they both ended up having a vastly different relationship with the native populations as the British fought with them over land and trade, the French maintained a mutually beneficial partnership. Finally, although they both had trade with the natives, the British colonies ended up getting greedy and started taking their land to grow their own crops to make money overseas in Europe. The French on the other hand, continued trading with the French and actually teamed up to fight in the conflicts against the British.

Although the Spanish and English colonies both were interested in increasing slaves, wealth, land and trade, the motives of the Spanish and English settlers were different because mercantilism provided a way for the English to send gold and silver back to England whereas Spanish settlers wanted the gold and silver for their colonies, the Spanish colonies wanted Christian converts but even though the English practiced Catholocism, they did not seek converts and the Spanish colonies comprised of mostly men so they ended up marrying Native women and created a new caste whereas the English colonies consisted of English men and women so that they could create pure English children.

Since France’s primary colonization goal was profit and trade while England’s was expansion, France and England’s colonization patterns were very different. France formed friendly trade relationships with Native Americans, while English colonies upset them with expansion efforts; England’s colonies had some independence to help develop self-sufficiency, while France’s were fully subject to the king in order to monitor trade and profit; and English colonists included artisans, tradesmen, and farmers for forming permanent settlements, while French colonists largely consisted of traders and merchants to earn money and resources.

Although both the Spanish and the French colonies had an absolute monarchy influenced by Roman Catholicism, the divergence of colonization patterns was dictated by the existence or non-existence of higher power persons in the Americas. This is because people of higher power were entitled to more land, more enslaved Native Americans, and the goods they produced.
