Religious rivalries in Western Europe, particularly between Catholic and Protestant nations, significantly influenced American colonial developments. These conflicts prompted various groups to seek refuge in the New World, leading to the establishment of diverse religious communities, such as the Puritans in New England and Catholics in Maryland. Additionally, European powers often engaged in colonial competition, using religion as a justification for expansion and conflict, which shaped political alliances and conflicts in the Americas. Ultimately, these rivalries contributed to a complex tapestry of religious freedom and tension that would characterize early American society.
