Alternate English areas of colonization?

Mostly dealing with a 16th and 17th century POD. Assuming the English don't establish any colonies along the eastern seaboard (perhaps Jamestown colony fails too dissuading colonization of the area) where are some other places that the English might settle? Canada comes to mind, especially if the French are displaced or don't settle the area, but are there any other areas that might be more 'interesting'?

Argentina, Chile, & Uruguay, South Africa, Australia, and NZ. Those are the limits of possibility due to climate & disease.
 
Well, in a TL where the Dutch don't try to compete with the Portuguese in Asia (maybe if their rebellion is defeated by the Spanish) maybe the English could take their role and expand their trade (and conquest) in the East.

The POD asks for places to colonize as in settle - it has to be somewhere where the English won't melt into puddles of goo.

You are basicly correct and this is why I think Anglo-wanks are pretty boring. The English/British controlled all of those areas with the only exception of Southern America.

If we don't just use settlement colonies everything is possible. In wars against Spain/Portugal, the Netherlands and France England could get all the useful colonies, like Guyana, various Caribean islands, Brazil and Indonesia (and with an early enough POD get them before those countries). The rest of the worls is a lot less useful. BTW Britain can't get all of those at the same time and keep everything it got OTL. It will overstretch and lose various parts to other countries.

I figured as much. A settler colony in South America would be quite interesting, but I'm not sure they'd be able to establish themselves in what is Argentina and Uruguay too easily -- it wasn't too important resource wise to the Spanish, but I've been told it was an important route to ship the gold from Potosi to Europe.

English Hawaii. That enough is plausible enough to almost have happened.

Would be way down the line if it happened. I'm looking for regions they'd attempt to colonize in the late 16th century (basically from the 1550s onward) and 17th century. Hawaii wasn't even discovered until the 1770s IIRC.

Yes. While it wouldn't be any settler colonies, if the English become more interested in the orient, such as Indonesia, they'd settle South Africa to protect those routes as the Dutch did.

Yes, there's not a whole lot of regions where they can settle, but you still give me ideas. The English displacing the Dutch in Indonesia sounds pretty interesting.
 
Is that why there's a Union Jack on the Hawaiian state flag?

No. That's because the English started to build up trade in the period before 1843 with the Hawai'ians, who attempted to integrate somewhat into European merchant culture...or perhaps more accurately, they tried to imitate what they admired...by flying the union flag when British ships arrived - not so much because they thought themselves British or wanted into the Empire but because they didn't have a flag to fly and they were happy to ingratiate themselves with those who befriend them and traded with them. Then the Americans started complaining that the Hawai'ians were upsetting them by favouring the British and so the Hawai'ians were forced to redesign the flag to make it look like more of a mash-up of British and American ideas.

if only the state was that way :)

any ways back to the question at hand British Russia :) during the Russian Civil War British, Canadian, Americans, Czech, Greek, Japanese and French forces with White Russian help keep the Reds in western Russia, the Whites are a mess and fear that the thinly populated Siberia and Far East will be over Run by red Russia (or Japan) the second the allies leave, in this panic a Zemsky Sobor is called in Vladivostok and King George V is elected Tsar of Russia in hopes of long term British (and Allied support) of the White State and to drive out left wingers in White Russia, allied troops are all but given land so many settle, to this day towns with English speakers with Midwestern or Scottish accents can easily be found.
