Answer:
England, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, and France.
Step-by-step explanation:
England: English colonists explored and settled along the East Coast of what is now America and Canada, as well as in the Caribbean and even on Pacific islands like Hawaii (although this was in the 1700s).
Portugal: With their explorations of Africa, this small country helped to usher in the Age of Exploration. The only significant colony Portugal managed to acquire in the New World was Brazil.
Spain: Spain essentially colonized and explored the entire region south of Mexico. They defeated the Inca in South America. They subdued the Aztec and Maya in Mexico. They were the first to notice the Pacific Ocean crossing the Atlantic from east to west. They essentially took over all of Mexico and Western South America, taking home the largest share of the pie. Due to the abundance of silver, their massive Potosi silver mine almost caused a silver price crash!
One of the supporting players is the Netherlands. They acquired a few colonies in the Caribbean but are best known for colonizing the East Indies, specifically Indonesia. They also conducted some exploration in New England, and they are well known for having bought Manhattan Island for 24$ :o
France: French explorers were pioneers, exploring the Ohio River Valley and trading furs with the natives. Their colonies at one time included some Caribbean Islands, like Haiti, and the Mississippi River Valley (the latter of which was sold to America in 1803 for $15 million).
