Best Answer

France.

But it gave up French Louisiana after the end of the Seven Years' War in Europe (1754-1763). Under the treaty terms, France ceded the western half of Louisiana to Spain in 1763, and the eastern half to Great Britain. France regained Louisiana secretly in 1800 and sold it to the US in 1803.
