In the 1600s, the Americas were primarily inhabited by various Indigenous peoples with diverse cultures and societies. European colonization began in earnest during this time, with the Spanish establishing territories in regions such as present-day Mexico and parts of the southwestern United States. The French focused on areas around the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes, while the English settled along the Atlantic coast, founding colonies like Jamestown in Virginia in 1607. The Dutch also established a presence in parts of what is now New York and New Jersey.
