    In the late 1400s, many Native American groups lived across North America, adapting to their local environments through activities like hunting and farming. In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain and reached the Caribbean, beginning European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Diseases brought by settlers devastated native populations. By the late 1500s, European powers like Spain, Britain, and France had established colonies in North America, competing for land and power and pushing many native groups from their traditional lands. The British eventually gained control over New France and became the dominant colonial power in North America. [END SUMMARY]
