Spain, the country that funded Columbus's discovery of the New World, claimed and colonized all of the land from what is now California to Texas, as well as Nevada and the Four Corner states, all the way through Mexico and most of Central and South America, and many of the Caribbean islands. However, Portugal claimed what is now Brazil in South America, and France, England, and Holland colonized parts of South America and the Caribbean.
Further east in North America, what eventually became the Louisiana Purchase was colonized by the Spanish, but then eventually that colony was acquired by France. England owned colonies from Georgia and into Canada, although Holland, France, and Sweden had previously owned some of those areas.
All in all, if success was determined by land area, the Spanish were the most successful at colonizing the New World.
