To determine which country was not a major colonizer of the New World, we can look at historical records and the extent of colonization efforts by each country.
Spain was one of the major colonizers of the New World, with famous explorers like Christopher Columbus and Hernán Cortés leading the way. They established vast colonies in areas such as Mexico, Peru, and the Caribbean.
England was also a significant colonizer of the New World, particularly in North America. They established colonies such as Jamestown in Virginia and the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts.
France was another major colonizer of the New World. They established colonies in areas such as Quebec, Louisiana, and the Caribbean.
On the other hand, Italy was not a major colonizer of the New World. Italy as a unified country did not exist during the era of New World colonization. In the 15th century when European powers were beginning to explore and colonize, Italy was fragmented into various city-states such as Venice, Florence, and Genoa. Although Italian explorers like Amerigo Vespucci took part in exploration missions, they mostly acted on behalf of Spain or Portugal.
Therefore, the correct answer is Italy.
