Motivations for colonization: The French colonized North America to create trading posts for the fur trade. Some French missionaries eventually made their way to North America in order to convert Native Americans to Catholicism.

The colony’s early days Life in Canada was challenging. French colonists struggled with the region’s harsh winters and uncleared land. Canada was largely dependent on agriculture and the fur trade, which brought colonists in conflict with the people whose land they had claimed for France.

What factors led to the French settlement of New France? The Beaver, Fur trade, and setting up many trading post all over present day America.

Why did French merchants help set up settlements in North America? They wanted wealth from the fur trade.

They failed as a farming settlement and few peoples moved there. Why did New France and New Netherland struggle to attract colonists? Therefore, the presence of the Puritan religion heavily shaped the colonists’ view of the Indians, and supported the idea of the “White Man’s Burden.”

How were the Dutch and French colonies different from the Enflish colonies in North America? THe English colonies were more populated; while the Dutch and French colonies were established mainly for commerical reasons, New England was begun for religious reasons.

Regarding the Indians, the Dutch generally followed a policy of live and let live: they did not force assimilation or religious conversion on the Indians. Both in Europe and in North America, the Dutch had little interest in forcing conformity on religious, political, and racial minorities.

New France comprised the largest territory. They dominated the lucrative fur trade and made allies with powerful Indian nations, but it was under-populated and gradually they lost control of their land to England. Likewise, New Netherland was prosperous in both trade and agriculture, and they had a growing population.

Aruba has been a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands since its inception in March 1815. In fact, relations between Aruba and the Netherlands date back to 1634 when the Dutch settled on the island.

In 1954, the islands became the country (Dutch: Land) Netherlands Antilles (1954−2010). Initially the Netherlands Antilles consisted of four island territories: Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and the Windward Islands. The latter split into the Island Territories Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten in 1983.

In 1621, the Dutch began to move aggressively against Spanish territory in the Americas–including Brazil, temporarily under Spanish control between 1580 and 1640. In the Caribbean, they joined the English in settling St. Croix in 1625 and then seized the minuscule, unoccupied islands of Curaçao, St.

The Dutch contributed enormously to the development of the Caribbean so much so that they were referred to as the ”foster fathers” of the Caribbean, mainly because of the roles they played assisting the British and French colonists.

The Dutch Empire today comprises of several overseas colonies, outposts, and enclaves that were administered and controlled by the Dutch Chartered companies such as the Dutch East Indian Company and the Dutch West India, and eventually by the Dutch Republic and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

In the 18th century, the Dutch colonial empire began to decline as a result of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War of 1780–1784, in which the Dutch Republic lost a number of its colonial possessions and trade monopolies to the British Empire, along with the conquest of the Mughal Bengal at the Battle of Plassey by the East …

The Dutch colonized many parts of the world — from America to Asia and Africa to South America; they also occupied many African countries for years. From the 17th century onwards, the Dutch started to colonize many parts of Africa, including Ivory Coast, Ghana, South Africa, Angola, Namibia and Senegal.

The Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland (or Anglo-Russian expedition to Holland, or Helder Expedition) was a military campaign from 27 August to 19 November 1799 during the War of the Second Coalition, in which an expeditionary force of British and Russian troops invaded the North Holland peninsula in the Batavian …

The Dutch system of rule in colonial Java was both direct and dualistic. Alongside the Dutch hierarchy, there existed an indigenous one which functioned as an intermediary between the Javanese peasants and the European civil service.

Overall, the role of the English in the Anglo-Dutch Wars, their alliance with the French, and their ineffective alliance with the Dutch all contributed to the decline of the Dutch Republic. While the English had chosen to attack the Dutch Republic by sea, France decided to attack by land.
