Francis Drake established territorial claims in North America during his circumnavigation of the globe from 1577 to 1580. He claimed a portion of the West Coast for England, specifically the area he named "Nova Albion," which is believed to be in present-day California. His actions were part of England's broader strategy to challenge Spanish dominance in the New World and assert its own colonial ambitions. Drake's voyage contributed to the growing English interest in North America, paving the way for future exploration and settlement.
Spain established territorial claims on North America through exploration, conquest, and colonization beginning in the late 15th century. Notable figures like Christopher Columbus, Hernán Cortés, and Francisco Pizarro contributed to Spain's expansion by claiming vast territories for the Spanish crown. The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, sanctioned by the Pope, also granted Spain rights to explore and colonize the western hemisphere, leading to the establishment of missions, settlements, and trade routes across the region. By the 17th century, Spain had solidified its presence in areas such as Florida, the Southwest, and California.
Robert LaSalle was a French explorer known for his expeditions in North America, during which he claimed the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico for France. He established forts and settlements in the region, contributing to France's territorial claims in North America. LaSalle's explorations helped expand knowledge of the continent and had a significant impact on early European colonization efforts in the New World.

France's land claims in America were primarily established through the explorations of figures like Jacques Cartier in the 16th century and Samuel de Champlain in the early 17th century. These explorations, along with treaties and colonial expansion, allowed France to claim vast territories, particularly in Canada and along the Mississippi River. The Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ended the Seven Years' War, significantly reduced French territorial claims in North America, ceding much of their land to Britain and Spain.
