What were the four main countries that attemted to set up colonies in North America?

England, of course with not just the 13 colonies that became the United States as there's Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. France with what is now Quebec. They were also in Acadia before being forced out by the English. The evicted wound up in what is now Lousiana. Spain with Florida, Mexico, and everything south. The Dutch set up a colony named New Amsterdam before the English conquered it and re-named it after the Duke of York (hence New York). The Swedes had a trading post in what is now Delaware before it was taken over by first the Dutch then Pennsylvania. The Russians also had outposts in what is now Alaska. That's six. I would discount the Swedes as a main one, but all of the others had significant attempts. (The Dutch wound up in the Caribbean, for example.) Hope that helps.

Spain, France, and the Netherlands.

Spain, France, and the Neatherlands

France, Holland and Spain

England, Spain, France and The Netherlands.

England, Spain, France, Holland are four of the countries.... As noted, Russia did have control over part of Alaska, but also attempted to colonize other areas (such as part of California).... And Sweden tried to set up a colony on the east coast, but it was short-lived.

spain, france, and holland? thats my guess. possibly russia too. they used to own alaska, i think.
