Too Close For Comfort
Beginning in the Middle Ages, England and France were in proximity, each having the nearest undeveloped lands to the other. Although both eventually engaged in wars with other nations in Europe and the world, it was logistically simpler to mount an armed conquest on a neighboring country. As colonies developed, the countries gained more resources abroad, but each sought advantages. As the Napoleonic Wars showed, a country with sufficiently developed armed forces could conquer and annex large regions of Europe. It was not until the 20th Century wars that England and France became reluctant allies, both having also lost almost all of their colonial empires.
France had a warmer climate than England. Therefore, civilization came to France earlier than to England. Because of this, England became a kind of colony of France. But the warm climate is the reason for the low technological ceiling. And one day France reached its ceiling and lagged behind England.

The New England Patriots
England's two main rivals in North America were France and Spain. France posed a significant challenge during the colonial period, particularly through its alliances with Native American tribes and its control over vast territories in Canada and the Mississippi River Valley. Spain, with its established colonies in the southern regions and the southwestern territories, also competed with England for land and resources. The rivalry with both nations ultimately contributed to conflicts such as the French and Indian War.
