The Dutch Colonial Empire existed from the 1600s to the 1950s.
The Spanish Colonial Empire existed from about 1400 to about 1975.
Over its whole existence, the Dutch Colonial Empire owned small parts of the areas now known as New England, the east coast of Brazil, the African West Coast, Madagascar, South Africa, Iraq, India, Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan. It is important to know that these were just small settlements, towns, harbors, and trading posts. The Dutch Empire also owned most of the Antilles, Guyana, Suriname, a large part of South Africa, Sri lanka, Taiwan, and Indonesia.
Over its whole existence, the Spanish Empire owned small settlements, trading posts, and harbors in British Columbia, the U.S. East Coast, the Congo, Mozambique, the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, and Indochina. The Spanish Empire also was made of Mexico, Central America, most of the U.S. Midwest, parts of Florida, most of the Caribbean Islands (Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, etc.), the Canary Islands, the West Sahara, Northern Morocco, "Spanish Guinea," the coast of Brazil, part of Sri Lanka, and the area now known as the Philippines.
Today, the Netherlands still owns a few islands in the Caribbean. Spain still owns the Canary Islands.
