Before gaining independence, the United States was primarily protected by France, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain, and Native American tribes. France provided crucial military support during the American Revolutionary War, while Spain offered financial assistance and controlled territories that served as a buffer against British forces. The Netherlands recognized American independence and contributed financially as well. Native American tribes also played a complex role, sometimes forming alliances with American colonists against common enemies.
