America:
- The European migrants seized the lands of original inhabitants in America and if needed massacred them. They destroyed the local kingdoms in Peru and Mexico. The original inhabitants were forced into slavery.
- Portugal brought Brazil into the American continent under their rule and so did Spain by taking hold of Mexico.
- Witnessing Spain's prosperity England, Holland and France also began to establish their colonies in America.
- In 1607 the British built Jamestown, a colony on the banks of the river 'James'. Later some colony was renamed 'Virginia'.
- Afterward, England established its colonies in the coastal region of North America stretching from New England to Carolina.
