England or great Britain controlled the colonies back then before the united states gained their independence
THE Answer is France. France assisted the America in it's fight for independence from Great Britain. Haiti was also inspired for independence and threw off the reigns of tyranny of France.
Thomas Paine's pamphlet, Common Sense, argued that the British had no reason to rule the whole nation of America. Even if Britain claimed to be the 'mother country' of America, the actions Britain took were horrendous, almost moreso with this context, as no mother would harm her child so.
The French and Indian War had drastically changed the balance of power in North America. The French and Spanish had lost a large expanse of valuable land to the British. The European Nations decided to help the colonists because they (the Europeans) were enemies themselves of the British.After the Seven Years War and French and Indian War, Britain became the major power in Europe. Spain and French, the two European nations that aided the colonies during the American War of Independence, had a lot to gain if Britain lost.Not that much happened. While the French helped the Colonies fight on land, the British soundly defeated any attempts to take the West Indies, which were of higher importance.Some European nations such as France and Spain supported the colonists because they thought once they got Great Britain out of the picture than they could take control of the colonists.To cut Britain down to size. They certainly had no reason to support Britain, which was keeping them out of its colonial trade. Empire is a cut-throat business, and the last thing you want is someone else having one.The foreign nations that supported the colonists were either at war with the British, or were afraid of Britain declaring war on them. France took a big chance when they supported the colonists.
Known also as the French/Indian War (in respect to its North American theater), the Seven Years War led to significant changes for Great Britain and its colonies: it left Great Britain very nearly bankrupt, and it removed a hostile power (the French) from North America. The most important consequence of these changes was that it infused the British Colonies with an even greater spirit of independence, which would soon lead to conflict with the homeland -- and American independence.

The Battle of Britain took place against the Nazi bomber and fighter planes in the skies over Great Britain during the Summer of 1940, during a period when Britain stood alone against them.
