Is it the king and queens fault that the Europeans went to war with the natives?

What exactly are you talking about? European monarchs were quite different from each other, who are you referring to? And what natives? Europeans went on a colonizing spree across the world between the 15th and 19th centuries, where they came into contact with "natives" from every conceivable part of the world. If you're referring to Spanish, Portuguese, British, French and Dutch colonization of the Americas, the monarchs were partly responsible. As the heads of the kingdoms, vested with virtually all authority and power, it was them who made the decisions to commence with American colonization. At the same time, there were tons of other actors, from explorers to merchants to missionaries who all had a stake and an interest in colonization. The Spanish Crown made the decision to continue to send conquistadors to the Americas, but it wasn't a decision made in a vaccum. It was a combination of personal and political desires that led to colonization.


What were the major differences between Spanish and French efforts to colonize the New world?

The main difference between France and Spain and their colonization of the Americas was how they treated the natives. Initially, Spain's reason for settling in the Americas was to acquire the gold, silver and precious gems that could be mined on these continents. The natives were initially treated as slaves, and this harsh treatment, coupled with the passing of European diseases to the natives, who had no immunity, decimated the population. The French treated the Native Americans very admirably. They entered business partnerships with them, treated them as equals, and had no qualms about intermarrying with the natives.
