and Pilgrim Governor William Bradford Battle of Lepanto Sinking of Spanish Armada
Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations, 1776:"The Spaniards, by virtue of the first discovery, claimed all America as their own, and ... such was ... the terror of their name, that the greater part of the other nations of Europe were afraid to establish themselves in any other part of that great continent ... But ... the defeat ... of their Invincible Armada ... put it out of their power to obstruct any longer the settlements of the other European nations. In the course of the 17th century ... English, French, Dutch, Danes, and Swedes ... attempted to make some settlements in the new world."
