In the 16th century, British territories in North America were limited and primarily consisted of exploration claims rather than established colonies. The most notable was the Roanoke Colony, established in 1585 by Sir Walter Raleigh in present-day North Carolina, which ultimately failed. Other exploratory ventures occurred along the eastern seaboard, including parts of Newfoundland, but there were no significant territorial holdings until the early 17th century. The focus during this time was mainly on exploration and the search for a northwest passage.

Did the British military dominate the French in North America?

Yes, the British military was largely dominant over the French in North America during the 18th century. This was evident in the outcome of the French and Indian War (1754-1763), where the British emerged victorious and gained control over much of French territories in North America. The subsequent Treaty of Paris in 1763 solidified British dominance in the region.


Even though France lost its territories in North America and India it was able to keep them in north America and India?

France did not manage to keep its territories in North America and India; instead, it lost significant holdings in both regions during the 18th century. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 resulted in France ceding Canada and its territories east of the Mississippi River to Britain, while Spain acquired Louisiana. In India, France faced defeat in the Anglo-French rivalry, losing much of its influence and territory to the British by the end of the 18th century. Consequently, France's colonial presence in these regions diminished significantly.
