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.

Spain, France and England were rivals in the fight for land in the New World, mostly in North America and the Caribbean.
They are rivals, but not frequent ones.
During the Renaissance, England's primary rivals were France and Spain. France was a longstanding adversary, particularly due to territorial disputes and competition for power in Europe. Spain emerged as a significant rival following the union of the Spanish crowns and their exploration and colonization efforts in the New World, which posed a threat to England's interests. These rivalries influenced political alliances, military conflicts, and colonial ambitions throughout the period.
The two great rivals of the colonial period of America were France and Great Britain.
