In the late 1400s to early 1600s, European countries explored America and met Native Americans. The Spanish were often harsh. They wanted gold and land and sometimes forced Native Americans into labor. In contrast, the French had a more cooperative relationship. They focused on fur trading and formed alliances with tribes, which helped both sides. The Dutch were mainly interested in trade, too, and set up New Amsterdam, working with Native groups for resources. While the Spanish aimed to conquer, the French and Dutch tended to build partnerships. Overall, their relationships with Native Americans varied based on their goals.
The late 1400s through the early 1600s was a time of exploration and early settlement of several European colonies. Each European country had different reasons for their exploration and settlement, but all encountered Native Americans during their exploration, growth, and development. Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts the relationships of the Native Americans with at least two of the European groups. Those groups include the Spanish, French, Dutch, and English. Using all four groups are not necessary for full credit.
