France and Spain
France:
Louisiana.
Yes. Louisiana (also known as New France) was named after Louis XIV, King of France from 1643-1715. When René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle claimed the territory drained by the Mississippi River for France, he named it La Louisiane, meaning "Land of Louis". Louisiana was also part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain of the Spanish Empire. The territory was acquired in 1803 by the United States through the Louisiana Purchase from France.
Spain originally claimed the land west of the Mississippi. However, Russia claimed Alaska and some of the west coast. Mexico had won independence from Spain in 1810. Then Napoleon of France conquered Spain and all of its lands.
