England had established several colonies along the Atlantic coast, while France controlled vast territories in Canada and the Mississippi Valley. Spain held Florida and parts of the southwestern United States, including present-day Texas and California. These European powers were vying for land and influence, setting the stage for future conflicts and territorial disputes.
