back next **THE COLONIZATION** Back in Europe there were several countries that began to show interest in the new country, all with different interests, which was the start of colonization in America until the 1800s. Spaniards were dynamic in the mission and the hunger of finding gold. Eventually, they were also interested in plantation operations and therefore slaves. The French were most interested in hunting and fur trade and was therefore on good terms with the Indians. They often travelled to the villages to trade goods. Although the French were the best it did not take long before they also began to see an interest in agriculture and in building out their colonies. The English were interested in agricultural land, which was not a problem in the beginning. The Indians helped them through. But eventually they took so big pieces of land and that led to that they took the Indians' areas. The more English people who came, the more land they needed and the more land they took. This led to major conflicts between Indians and whites. Around 1700 things were even worse, the wars between colonial powers and the Indians continued, and the colonial powers began to feel the competition between them. The colonial powers also began to fight among themselves and tried constantly to get the distinct Indian tribes on their side. England and their allies managed to take large areas of France. When the fighting was over, England again was the ruling power in America. This was a great loss for the Indians. Around 1820 began the really great immigration from Europe. It was largely Europe's poor who immigrated to build a new future.
