Portugal, Spain, France, and England

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Portugal, Spain, France, and England all believed that they were conquering the New World for God and country. While they did not necessarily agree to divide the New World equally, they did have conflicts over territory and resources. Italy and Germany were not major colonial powers during this time period, so it is not accurate to say that Portugal, Spain, France, and England opposed their colonization attempts. Additionally, while all of these countries were Christian, they did not necessarily agree that only the Catholic Church was holy.
