In the 17th and 18th centuries, the English and French competed primarily for colonial dominance in North America, the Caribbean, and parts of India. This rivalry was fueled by the desire for resources, trade routes, and territorial expansion, leading to several conflicts, including the French and Indian War (1754-1763). Additionally, both nations sought to spread their influence and establish lucrative trade networks, which intensified their competition and shaped global geopolitics during this period.
