Analyze how the Dutch and French colonies were different than the Spanish and Portuguese colonies

In the 16th century, the Spanish established forts, towns, and missions north of Mexico and the Caribbean. They went all the way to Canada. They founded colonies on the east coast and explored the west coast. France and England came seeking fur, fish, trade routes in the early seventeenth century. Settlements suffered isolation, food shortages. For the Spaniards, colonization in the Americas was just an extension of the reconquista. the Dutch colonization process was almost a purely commercial venture, compared to the crown led ventures of the Spanish and Portuguese. The French started as the dutch with only a commercial interest. The Portuguese were the first European country to start the colonization process. Their main obsession was protecting their trade route to India and the Indies.
