Hudson River
St. Lawrence River
Colorado River

Answer 1

The two rivers that were claimed for France, along with their surrounding areas, are:

1. St. Lawrence River - This river served as a key route for French exploration and trade in North America, particularly in what is now Canada.

2. Mississippi River - France claimed vast territories in the Mississippi River basin, which were collectively known as Louisiana.

The Hudson and Colorado Rivers were primarily associated with different colonial powers.
