Correct answers:
- by settling colonists on claims made by explorers
- by conquest of the Dutch armies holding it
Explanation: Most of the thirteen were founded by English charters and settlements on claimed land; New Netherland (later New York/New Jersey) was taken from the Dutch by force. Treaties with France or Spain did not directly transfer the thirteen colonies to Britain.
