The Spanish settled in the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America and found economic success through gold and silver mining, as well as agriculture (especially sugar cane and tobacco). The French settled in Canada and along the Mississippi River and found economic success through fur trading and fisheries. The English settled along the Atlantic coast of North America and found economic success through agriculture (particularly tobacco, grain, and cotton) and trade. Some of the defining factors of each country are colonial motivations (such as the search for wealth in Spain, resource extraction in France, and agricultural expansion in England), relations with Indigenous peoples (ranging from trade alliances to conflict), and settlement patterns (such as urban centers in English colonies versus scattered settlements in French territories).
