∙ 12y agoThere were two periods of these "competitions" that involved different periods of time.
The first time was the period of time in which the Americas (North and South America) were being colonized. The major plays in this period included Great Britain, France, Portugal, and Spain. Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands were minor players who were eventually kicked out.
