The US (United States) occupies lands formerly part of the British Empire and French Canada. It also gained land from French Louisiana, Mexico, Russia, and Spain.

More narrowly, Canada and two British colonies (New York and New Hampshire) claimed the region that became the Vermont Republic in 1777. Vermont became the 14th US state in 1791.
