Which colonies are you referring to? Colonies of the countries who had imperial possessions and colonies around the world or the United States? This question needs clarification. You can resubmit your question with your clarifications. I do know that in both World Wars the "colonies" fought right along with their own ruling nations such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Dutch East Indies, India, etc.
