Question: How did the economic motivations of these three European nations (British, French, and  Spanish) impact their relationships with the Native Americans?

One major difference between the two is that the Spanish colonies were much more intensively settled and a much more developed economy was created there than in French colonies. French colonies were sparsely settled and were used mainly as ways to trade with the Indians for furs. Along with new plants and animals, Europeans also brought deadly diseases. This biological exchange had the greatest impact of all on Native Americans. Native people had no resistance to such diseases as measles, smallpox, mumps, whooping cough, influenza, chicken pox, and typhus
