In the 16th century a pirate base established by the French on the Florida coast irritates the powerful Spanish. They quickly dispatch an expedition to seize control of the region and establish a fort at St. Augustine. The French then turn their attention to the St. Lawrence Valley in Canada where they develop a thriving fur trade with the Indians. The Dutch challenge Spanish power by establishing commercial ventures in such faraway places as Indonesia, Cape Town in South Africa, and New Netherlands on the eastern seaboard of North America.
