Great Britain had one of the largest navies of Europe in the 17th century, and interdicted trade by their chief competitor, Spain. Although France explored Louisiana and Canada, the European continental wars took their toll and soon Britain had taken Canada from them, as well as New Amsterdam from the Dutch.
