Spanning from the late 15th century to the 18th century, this period saw the establishment of diverse colonies by various European powers, including the English, Spanish, and French. The interactions between colonists and Indigenous peoples, along with the development of agriculture, trade, and religious practices, significantly influenced the social, economic, and political landscape of America.
