England made several early attempts to colonize North America in the late 1500s and early 1600s led by figures like Gilbert, Gorges, and Raleigh. These initial colonies struggled and often failed, with colonists probably settling among local Native American tribes, until England's defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 marked a shift that allowed for more successful permanent English settlements in the new world.
