Years: 1540 - 1683
Spain tries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to maintain a monopoly on trade and colonization in its New World colonies, but northern European powers are increasingly attracted to the region by the potential for trade and settlement.
These powers have resorted to smuggling, piracy, and war in their efforts to challenge and then destroy Spain's monopoly.
The Dutch, English, and French encroach on Spain's New World possessions in the seventeenth century.
