Certainly! Here’s how you can categorize the phrases based on British, French, and Dutch exploration:
Netherlands:
- colonies controlled by one corporation
- wanted to expand trade opportunities
Both Countries:
- sought to spread Catholicism
Spain: (Note: Spain is not mentioned in this prompt, but based on historical context, it's related to the phrase “sought to spread Catholicism.” However, you've indicated "Both Countries" for that phrase, which could be assumed includes Spain and also the French, historically speaking.)
Feel free to adjust as needed based on specific criteria provided or context!
