European settlement of the area began in the 17th century following French exploration of the region and became known as New France, the area colonized by France in North America during a period beginning with the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River byJacques Cartier in 1534 and ending with the cession of New France to Spain and Great Britain in 1763.
England, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Russia, and Sweden claimed areas in North and South America.
I'd go with France and Spain, the two European nations with the power and desire to continue colonizing the Americas. Ironically, the U.S. didn't have the naval power to enforce the Monroe Doctrine at the time in was enacted and was relying on Britain to do it for them--and Britain did, because they didn't want France or Spain to gain any more power.

The European incentives for the conquest of the Americas were largely driven by the lure of wealth and power. European powers were primarily motivated by economic gain religious conversion and a desire for political and military domination. Economic gain: The discovery of the Americas had the potential to bring great wealth to the Europeans. Explorers were seeking gold silver and other valuable resources to bring back to Europe. Religious conversion: Many Europeans saw the conquest of the Americas as an opportunity to spread Christianity throughout the New World. Political and military domination: European nations sought to extend their political and military control over the Americas as well as to gain access to new trade routes and markets. These incentives were a major factor in the European conquest of the Americas and ultimately led to the colonization of the New World by European powers.
Spanish was the leading colonial power in the Americas in the sixteenth century. England did not have any presence in what is now the United States until the early seventeenth century.
Both Britain and France challenged Spanish power in the Americas.
