Several European nations claimed lands along the Gulf of Mexico, most notably Spain and France. Spain established significant territories in present-day Mexico, Texas, and Florida, while France claimed parts of the Gulf coast, particularly in Louisiana. Both nations sought to expand their influence and resources in the region during the Age of Exploration and colonization. Additionally, Britain also had interests in the area, particularly in the later colonial period.
Countries that claimed land along the Pacific coast include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Australia.

However, some historians claim the Portuguese had been visiting Australia since 1200+. After this for the next few hundred years, New Holland (Present-day Australia) was repeatedly claimed by various European powers including the Dutch who claimed Van Diemans Land (Present-day Tasmania), the French who claimed the Western part of New Holland (Present-day WA), and the British who claimed the East Coast. The British under the command of Captain James Cook claimed the East Coast in 1770 and began settling in 1788.
