The correct answer is - English and French.

Both the English and the French had territories much more on the north than the Dutch and the Spanish, and it was in the north were the fur trade was taking place. Most of the fur came from the animals on what is now Canada, and the French had territory there, while the English were using the Great Lakes to transport them to the territory of the United States. Both of them were making big profits from the fur which was in abundance in this part of the world, and the European aristocracy was obsessed with fur and did not speared money to have it.
