Answer:

Spain and Portugal beat them to the punch.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expeditions from Spain and Portugal had a head start. They were one of the first to undertake such journeys. They found riches, resources, etc. before the England, France, and Netherland expeditions ever left their shores.
