What I'm referring to is if instead of the British setting up a break-away colony that would become the United States. It was the french or spanish or chinese etc. who would have have controlled what is considered the contiguous US? Due to the size and arable land, natural resources, comfortable weather and overall habitability, location in the globe, would this hypothetical nation have risen to a great power just based on those factors alone?
