=Colonial Settlement=

__Spain__

 * Settlement:** Spain had many settlements. The main places were basically all of Central America. most of South America and part of the southwest. Main places were Mexico settled in 1518, Peru settled in 1532, St. Augustine settled in 1565, and Santa Fe settled in 1609.
 * Settlers:** There were three different groups of Spaniards that came to the New world. The first were explorers beginning with Columbus in the 1490s. The second were the conquistadors such as Cortez who conquered Mexico in 1518, Pizarro who conquered Peru during 1532-38 and de Soto who traveled throughout the Southern US from 1539-41. The third group of settlers were the only ones who actually wanted to settle. They were made up of priests and regular people who came to settle the land.
 * Goals:**The goals of these three groups were very different. The explorers came to, what else, explore and to claim the land for Spain. The conquistadors came to conquer the natives and to find gold and riches. The last group of settlers came to settle and convert the natives for the Catholic church.
 * Relationship with Native Americans:** The explorers and conquistadors were very brutal towards the natives. Their relationship can be described as genocide and domination. The priests and settlers tried to assimilate the natives into Spanish culture and tried to convert them to Catholicism.

__France__

 * Settlement:** Quebec in 1608 (less than a year after English in Jamestown)
 * Settlers:** Settlements grew slower than in England because because French Catholics did not feel the push to leave their homeland. French Protestants were not allowed in the colonies. They set up Agricultural estates along the St. Lawrence river and had military centers in Montreal and Quebec.
 * Goals:** French Traders came to America and often formed ties with the Native Americans through trading fur. These people were called the Coureurs de Bois.
 * Relationship with Native Americans:** Good: The French did not hug the coast land and traveled Northwest. They traded with the Native Americans and created direct ties. They established some of the first contracts between Native Americans and Old World People. Partnerships were formed between Natives and the French. The French even married Native woman which further strengthened the bonds between the two groups. Some even lived as part of Native tribes. They formed alliances with the Algonquins and Iroqouis but also becames enemies with theres.
