Is it true or false that England began colonizing in the late 1400s and early 1500s?

True. England began its colonization efforts in the late 1400s and early 1500s, particularly during the Age of Exploration. This period saw early expeditions and the establishment of overseas territories, though significant colonization activities intensified in the 17th century. Notable figures like John Cabot, who sailed under the English flag, played a role in these early efforts.
