Spain qualifies as such. Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes (1485 - 1547) sailed from Cuba in 1518 and discovered Mexico the following year. He eventually conquered the Aztec Empire in 1521, having Mexico become an overseas territory of the Spanish Crown for the following 300 years, until Mexico attained its independence in 1821.

Originally, Mexico was a colony of Spain, but fought and won its independence in 1821.
