Let's say that Spain and Portugal never colonized, whether it was because Columbus went to England/France, or whether it's because the two Iberian nations were too busy with wars. Whatever the reason may be, let's assume two scenarios.
Scenario A: The English are the first to discover the New World, accepting Columbus. Where are some likely places for him to land? What would English/British expansionism look like in the Americas? Just like how Spain colonized the Caribbean, then Mexico, Colombia, Peru, etc, what kind of path do you think the English might take? Basically, what are the effects of having the English be the first to colonize?
Scenario B: The French are the first to discover the New World, accepting Columbus. Where are some likely places for him to land? What would French expansionism look like in the Americas? Just like how Spain colonized the Caribbean, then Mexico, Colombia, Peru, etc, what kind of path do you think the French might take? Basically, what are the effects of having the French be the first to colonize?
