normalized URL; could possibly still be made clearer

Perhaps most notably for the modern-day US, what is now New York City was originally founded as New Amsterdam by the Dutch. The Dutch also still have possessions in the Caribbean (e.g. Sint Maarten.) Parts of Alaska and even parts of Hawaii were settled by the Russians. And, of course, the Portuguese settled Brazil, though not any of the modern-day US that I know of off-hand. | |

The Spanish controlled portions of the US southwest didn't see the French. Some part(s) of Florida perhaps might have seen Spanish/French/British? | |
