Europeans have claimed land on all seven continents. European colonies or territories can still be found on all seven continents as well.
France was the first European country to explore and claim lowa, with French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, claiming the area for France in the late 17th century.
The first claim to what is now known as Tennessee was made by Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in the early 16th century. However, permanent European settlement in the area did not occur until the late 18th century with the arrival of British and American settlers.
Australia did not claim part of North America.
European explorers believed they could claim lands as their own because they viewed the indigenous peoples as inferior and believed in the concept of "terra nullius," or empty land. This allowed them to justify colonization and the displacement of native populations for their own benefit. Additionally, European powers sought to expand their empires and gain wealth through the control of new territories.
Asia and Europe are the continents that claim Turkestan.Specifically, the word "Turkestan" means "Land of the Turks." The use of the term traces back to the geographers of ancient Persia. It includes not just modern-day Turkmenistan, but all of the Asian countries and the Asian/European country of Turkey where Turkish is spoken and Turkish peoples live.

Liberia is the other African country that people usually claim is not colonized, but since it was founded by American Blacks who established a very European-style country, it is hard to make the claim that it was not a colonial project.
