Brief Explanations
- Analyze each option against the chart data:
- Option 1: Spanish sought silver/gold (economic), French sought trade resources (economic), British sought trade items (economic) and land (economic/strategic). All had economic interests.
- Option 2: The chart shows British limited Spanish influence; there is no evidence of Spanish supporting French claims.
- Option 3: Only the Spanish had religious conversion as a motive; French and British motives did not include religion.
- Option 4: The Spanish caused massive American Indian deaths from disease and slave raids, which is a severe impact, not the least.
- The only conclusion fully supported by the chart is that all three groups had economic interests in the Southeast.
