Spain, Portugal, France
France, Spain, and England experienced numerous conflicts during the 1600s and 1700s due to competition for colonial dominance, trade routes, and resources in the Americas and beyond. The struggle for power was exacerbated by religious differences, particularly between Protestant England and Catholic France and Spain. Additionally, territorial disputes in Europe and the desire to expand empires fueled military confrontations, leading to wars such as the War of the Spanish Succession and the Seven Years' War. These conflicts were driven by a combination of economic ambitions, national rivalries, and shifting alliances.
During the 1600s, the Netherlands challenged Spain's territorial claims, particularly in the Americas and the Caribbean. The Dutch, seeking to expand their own trade and colonial interests, engaged in conflicts such as the Eighty Years' War against Spanish rule and established colonies that directly contested Spanish dominance. This rivalry culminated in naval battles and the establishment of Dutch territories in the Americas, undermining Spanish authority in the region.
The Golden Age of Spain was one of great optimism and exploration by the Spanish royalty. The nation colonized vast areas of the world and grew extremely wealthy in a very short time.
During the 1600s and 1700s, the four primary countries that established colonies in the Caribbean were Spain, France, Great Britain, and the Netherlands.

The Netherlands also established colonies, particularly on islands like Curacao and Aruba. These colonial powers significantly influenced the culture, economy, and demographics of the Caribbean.
