This overview explores the differences between the three main types of colonies established by European powers in the Americas during the mid-1700s: Trading Post Empires, Plantation Colonies, and Settler Colonies. We examine the reasons for colonization, driven by the desire for wealth (Gold), spreading religion (God), national pride (Glory), and territorial expansion (Geography). Each colony type was structured around unique economic and social frameworks, with examples from France, Spain, and England. Join us in uncovering the complexities of colonial expansion.
