Name 4 European countries that had territories in America?

Answer 1

Holland (New York, named after the Duke of York was originally named New Amsterdam after Amsterdam, Holland)

Spain - laid claim to parts of what is now California & Florida

Great Brittain - The original 13 colonies were all Brittish

Germany - large parts of what is now Pennsylvania

If you're talking about "North America" you can add France, whose influence in Quebec, Canada is obvious. Russia originally owned Alaska, until they sold it to the U.S. (It was a deal consummated by the secretary of state whose name was Seward and it was called Sewards Folly because everyone thought it was worthless, until not only Gold but Oil was discovered there.)
