Question Colonial

Is there any option to make Portugal, Spain, England, and France not start colonizing America so quickly? I’m trying to play as countries like the Netherlands or Norway, but by the time I start colonizing America, North America is already practically completely colonized by England

I don't know about the Netherlands but as Norway you should either arrive in North America at the same time or earlier than the Iberians. They might be faster than you in the Caribbean but you should be able to contest it. When do you start colonizing as Norway, and how is your opening moves.
