Before the colonization period began, the people living in England were protestants. They were members of the Church of England.
The Puritans were upset because the Church of England had both Catholic and Protestant ceremonies and beliefs. (A+)
The people in England before the colonization period began practiced primarily Christianity, particularly Catholicism. Religion played a significant role in their daily lives and influenced social and political structures. The Church had great authority and power in England during this time.
It began in the 1500's

It didn't happen in just one year. Colonization attempts started in 1584 when Amadas and Barlow came to Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. Another expedition was sent in 1585, and another in 1587. The 1587 colony has come to be known as the lost colony. In 1603 Jamestown in Virginia was settled (but not without many problems). After that there was a succession of colonization voyages (Mayflower, etc.) throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. My more learned colleagues will be able to give you correct information on the later voyages.
True. England began its colonization efforts in the late 1400s and early 1500s, particularly during the Age of Exploration. This period saw early expeditions and the establishment of overseas territories, though significant colonization activities intensified in the 17th century. Notable figures like John Cabot, who sailed under the English flag, played a role in these early efforts.

The main countries involved in colonization during the 1500s and 1600s were Spain, Portugal, England, France, and the Netherlands. Spain and Portugal led early efforts, establishing vast empires in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. England and France began to establish their own colonies in North America and the Caribbean, while the Dutch focused on trade and colonization in parts of the Americas and Asia. This period marked the beginning of significant European expansion and competition for global territories.
cause they wanted to Actually, England did not begin the process of colonization significantly later than the rest of Europe. They colonized the East Coast of North America shortly after the French and Spanish began to explore the New World. but WHY?
