1624 CE to 1635 CE

The English and the French also move rapidly to take advantage of Spanish weakness in the Americas and overcommitment in Europe.

The English settle Barbados in 1625 and try an unsuccessful settlement on Tobago.

They take possession of Nevis in 1628 and Antigua and Montserrat in 1632.

They establish a colony on St. Lucia in 1605, but it is destroyed by the Caribs; they try again in 1638 to establish a colony but are again unsuccessful.
