During the Age of Discovery, when the main European powers were dividing up the new world, there was one group that didn't claim lands for themselves even though they were directly involved in many of the expeditions - the actual explorers . . .

. . . the Italians. Christopher Columbus, Giovanni da Verrazzano, John Cabot. America is even named after an Italiam - Amerigo Vespucci.

Wait - John Cabot?

 

[snowbear96]

Yep. His real name is Giovanni Caboto.

Though boundaries were not formally drawn, it consisted of southeastern Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and northern Maine.

Canada was most of Quebec and everything westward. The French claimed everything north of the "sphere of Spanish influence." This was before the English got on the scene.

eh ?
