Out of these nations, the ones that were independent in the 1940s were Great Britain, the American colonies and the U. S.
The American colonies was the name that the United States received before achieving independence. Therefore, we can consider the United States and the American colonies to be the same territory. Great Britain, on the other hand, had been unified and independent for several centuries. Finally, in the case of India, the country did not achieve independence until 1947.
