During the American Revolutionary War, the Kingdom of Germany, particularly the state of Hesse-Kassel, sent mercenaries known as Hessians to assist Britain in their efforts against the American colonies. These troops were hired by the British government to bolster their military forces. The use of Hessians became a notable aspect of the conflict, as they were involved in various battles throughout the war.
Hessian troops did not fight as British Allies but as mercenaries.
Benjamin Franklin was sent to France to apply for assistance in the American colonies' Revolutionary war with Britain .
The children were sent to the country to live with people there. Some were sent to Ireland and the United States. These were children of the more wealthier families. The children who were evacuated from London and other towns were called evacuees.
Britain to war
The reason why (to me) is that we were a new country but were sill part of the British Commonwealth, so we were compelled to help out the British, and in the First World War or the Great War, we were the British Expeditionary Force and used mostly as cannon fodder before the actual British forces were sent in.

Yes, in a way, during ww2 Britain controled India, As many as 2 MILLION Indian troops were sent to help Britain, I think that's more than the American troops sent to help!
Americans were shocked to learn that British Prime Minister, Lord North, was hiring mercenaries from Germany and Scotland to help end the American revolution. At first there were about 12,000 "Hessian" troops sent to the rebelling colonies.

At this time "Britain" wasn't known as "Britain", it was "The British Empire," which spanned over canada, australia, and a lot of africa. People say that these men were sent to fight for britain, which they were, but they were british. I dont think any other nationalitis fought specifically for Britain.
They were losing and needed help from a strong nation. They were losing and needed help from a strong nation.
