if im correct your talking about the new world as it was known. the portuguese settled in south america, while the spainards settled in Central America as well as in the west of North America. but the french settled in the high upper hemisphere. however thats not the only difference... you see the new world was very popular because anyone could become a noble, either through gold hunting or beaver hunting. it was simply full of oppertunitys! but the french king and nobles did not share the free land with most anyone, and therefore french settlements failed because simply there wasnt enough space, and to add on to this only cathlics were allowed to go. it was still just like mainland France, why would anyone want to spend thousands of dollars worth just to go and be treated like tresspassers? so most french people who did go there were either nobles, or merchants and traders not willing to settle down and farm, but rather looking to get rich quick and then leave. and therefore, not many settlements were made.

How was the French approach to exploration of the Americas different from the approach of the Spanish to exploration of the Americas?

The French approach to exploration in the Americas focused primarily on trade, particularly in fur, and establishing cooperative relationships with Indigenous peoples. They often engaged in alliances and sought to integrate into local economies, as seen in their interactions with tribes like the Huron and Algonquin. In contrast, the Spanish pursued conquest and colonization, driven by the desire for gold, land, and the spread of Christianity, leading to more violent encounters and the establishment of large settlements. This fundamental difference shaped their respective legacies in the Americas.


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.
