It is important that we explore tribal nuances.
Within every continent, there is tremendous
diversity. The tribal differences that caused the
Apache and Navajo peoples to fight each other
are not so different from the reasons Germans
fought the French. Recognizing tribal diversity is
an important step in understanding the history of
America.

By the time British arrived in the New World and
established their first permanent settlement at Jamestown
in 1607, much of the continent had already been claimed
by other European nations.
Many factors contributed to Britain's tardiness. England
was not the most powerful European nation in the 16th
century. Spain was most influential. Along with Portugal,
Spain dominated New World exploration in the decades
that followed Columbus. France, the Netherlands, and
Sweden all showed greater interest in the Western
Hemisphere than England did.

• Problems at home
• Spain is the undisputed sea power
• Sea Dogs and the Spanish Armada
In 1588, one of the greatest turning points in world
history occurred when Spain's "invincible” Armada
of 130 ships sailed into the English Channel. Despite
their numerical inferiority, the English ships were
faster and easier to maneuver than the Spanish fleet.
With the aid of a great storm, Elizabeth's ships
humiliated Philip's navy, which returned to Spain
with fewer than half their original number.
