Answer:
The two lesser known European colonies in the New World, apart from the Thirteen Colonies, were New Spain and New France.
Step-by-step explanation:
- New Spain was the name of one of the Viceroys that Spain ruled between 1535 and 1821. New Spain was ruled by a Viceroy of Mexico City appointed by the Spanish monarch. New Spain included what is now known as Mexico and Central America (to the southern border of today's Costa Rica) and almost everything in the southwestern United States, including today's California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
- New France is a historic area in northeastern North America. It includes the territories of North America controlled by France during the period 1534-1763.
New France was colonized by France from the discovery of the area by Jacques Cartier in 1534 until it lost the last parts of the area to Britain in 1763.
