I'm afraid you're mistaken. The American War of Independence was largely a matter of Hanoverian Whig English, Jacobite Tory Scottish and the French. All others were only tangentially involved. Spain's interest was Florida, not even Louisiana. France got revenge for losing Canada by making Britain lose America, so Louisiana was returned to them. Holland, Hesse and Prussia were involved for other reasons--mostly economic and geostrategic, but mostly didn't want to take sides, or at least had no stake in the outcome.

The failure of a French expedition to recapture Haiti (1800-1802), made the defense of French North America logistically untenable. So Napoleon happily agreed to sell French possessions in North America for $15,000,000, under the terms of the Louisiana Purchase, in 1803. The $15,000,000 proved beneficial for Napoleon's Empire.

Spain had no interest in the 13 States, just extorting Florida back, related to revenge for British occupation of Havana.
Unsavable nigs, so no point to White Man's Burden. What a money pit, trying to civilise Africa Nova. Too bad priests and politicians don't learn from history.

Had nothing to do with Americans, only it was simultaneous. Spain got Florida and gave back Louisiana to France.
