Which of the following can be proved by the map to be FALSE?

1. Georgia was the last colony to become a state.
2. Pennsylvania was the most powerful colony.
3. In the 1700s, France gave up all interest in the New World.
4. England controlled much of the eastern seaboard.
5. The first colonists in New York were Dutch.

The map shows the area west of the thirteen colonies to be disputed by Fance and Britain. Therefore, the map indicates that France still had interest in the New World. The other choices, whether true or untrue, cannot be supported by the information in the map.
