“
GOOD MORNING U.S.A!!!
— American Dad
United States of America, more commonly known as USA, the US, United States or America, is a powerful nation located in North America. He likes oil, fast food, eagles 🦅, more oil, and bring Fʀᴇᴇᴅᴏᴍ to other countries.
He is often portrayed as dumb, ignorant and violent, but can be very patriotic and powerful. He is also the world’s biggest democracy and has the most influence in the world, hence the nickname “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave”. He sometimes gets greedy and will do almost anything for oil. His hospital bills are also really high.
America is the home of freedom, has amazing history and an unparalleled spirit of patriotism. Despite his best efforts at stoping terrorism,
fascism and
communism, edgy teens on the internet still thinks that USA is in the wrong.
History[edit | edit source]
Independence[edit | edit source]
USA started as a colony in North America, called the Thirteen Colonies. The colony belonged to
Great Britain. But because of tax constantly raising, the people in the colony were not happy. They do not feel represented by the parliament that decide the tax. Tensions rose and exploded. The Thirteen Colonies, led by
George Washington, were fighting the Brits. In the end, the
Colonies won and declared independence as the United States on July 4, 1776. America embraced
republicanism and rejected Britain's
monarchism.
Manifest Destiney[edit | edit source]
America started to expand, believing it was God’s will for them to take over this continent. First, they took some
native lands in the west of the Appalachian Mountains. In 1803, America bought
Louisiana territory of
France, doubling its size. America also bought
Florida from
Spain and defined its boundaries with the latter.
The US still wanted to expand more, so it offered its rival, Mexico, 30 million dollars for
California and
New Mexico. But Mexico refused, so the United States sent troops to a disputed region along the Mexican-American border. The troops were captured, and the US used this as an excuse to declare war. Mexico was unprepared for this, and after two years Mexico gave up a third of its territory to the United States. This was the largest expansion ever made by the US of A.
On an unrelated note, in 1853 America forcefully opened Japan up for trade.
Civil War[edit | edit source]
America decided to ban slavery. But some states in the southern part of the country are not happy with this ban, so they created a new country- the Confederate States of America. America is now split in two: the northern part, called themselves
“The Union”, and the southern part,
The Confederacy. The two sides fought, and eventually, the Union won. A lot of people are salty about this loss and proclaimed that the Confederacy was fighting for “state rights” instead of slavery.
The Gilded Age[edit | edit source]
After the Civil War, USA focused on civilizing the Wild West, such as building a transcontinental railroad—completed in 1871—and removing the Native Americans. However, this sometimes resulted in USA’s loss, such as at
Little Bighorn River in 1876. USA forced
Native Americans to move to Indian reservations to make room for cities and farms. They initially resisted, attacking American farms and cities. This is where those scenes of
Native Americans attacking caravans in Western movies came about. Still, most of the violent resistance movements on the part of the
Native Americans ended in 1900.
USAball also expanded its clay by purchasing Alaska from
Russia for 7.2 million US dollars in 1867. By the 1880s, USA had vastly improved its economy and status. France gifted it the Statue of Liberty in 1886. In 1892, USA held his first world's fair in
Chicago. In 1896, the Klondike gold Rush sent many US citizens to
Yukon for gold.
Meanwhile, America started doing some imperialism of its own. After giving Liberia its de facto independence, it annexed
Hawaii in 1895. It defeated
Spain in the 1898 Spanish-American War, taking
Guam,
Puerto Rico,
Cuba, and
Philippines. However, the last one gave it some trouble by becoming
independent, and USA fought it until 1902. It became a
loyal child afterward. USA was also involved in
China as a part of the
Eight-Nation Alliance and helped build a railroad through its clay.
Russian Empire suggested carving
China up but USA opposed.
USA also acquired the Guano Islands and
American Samoa.
Before the war, Spain was no longer considered a global power but a rich and weak country and was considered a secondary country among the European powers. Therefore, the Spanish defeat did not draw much European attention concerning the military capacity of America. America was already the most significant economic power in the world but with little military importance.
In 1903, USA invented the airplane ✈️ and started mass-producing cars in the 1900s and 1910s. The Rust Belt across its clay was a surge of income. It purchased Danish West Indies in 1916 and renamed it "
Virgin Islands." It tried to stay neutral and be isolated in world politics. Still, in 1906, it helped orchestrate the Treaty of
Portsmouth to end the
Russo-Japanese
War.
World Wars[edit | edit source]
Main article: World Wars in the United States
Despite the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania, USA refrained from fighting with Germany until the
British revealed the Zimmermann Telegram to USA in 1917. Germany was asking
Mexico to attack the United States, and the United States wasn’t happy about that. So he went to Europe and destroyed Germany, consolidating the country's military prestige for the first time.
America also built a canal through
Panama.
After WWI, Europe was in a financial crisis. Germany was forced to pay many reputations, so USA gave it many loans. Europe's decline made America emerge as a world power. In 1920, USA banned alcohol but still continued to drink it secretly. Throughout the 1920s, USA had a boom era. He even flew solo across the
Atlantic in 1927.
In 1929, however, its stocks dropped sharply in the Wall Street Crash. The Great Depression began around the world as USA called back all his debts immediately. USA's banks and gold standard failed by 1932. In 1933, however, he started to embark on the New Deal. His economy steadily improved as he repealed Prohibition and moved
Oklahoma and
Nebraska away from the Dust Bowl. USA developed a policy of
isolationism in the later 1930s against
fascism in
Europe and
East Asia.
USA tried to remain neutral during the war, though it embargoed Japan when it invaded
China full-scale. It also aided
UK and
France to fight
Nazi Germany. But when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, USA decided enough was enough and entered the war.
All of USA’s industries converted to make wartime goods, and fought against Germany in Europe and
Japan in the Pacific. Events like the Normandy landings ensured an
Allied
victory in Europe. But
Japan, due to their traditions, wasn’t about to give up and humiliate themselves in front of the whole world. So the USA developed nuclear weapons, and nuked the cities of
Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, finally making them surrender.
The Cold War[edit | edit source]
After WWII, USSR and
USA emerged as two global superpowers with opposite ideologies and philosophies. The two were in a standoff, fighting proxy wars (like the Korean War and the Vietnam War) and constantly threatening each other. The Korean War ended in a tie, while in the Vietnam War the US suffered an embracing defeat, and is still being mocked for it to this day. In 1962,
USSR gave
Cuba nuclear missiles, which caused a crisis nationwide. It was resolved when USA agreed to take their nuclear missiles away from
Türkiye and
Italy in exchange for the missiles to be removed from
Cuba.
The two were also competing technologically, making tons of nukes and trying to achieve more in space. The US sent the first people on The Moon, and it was a success.
Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the Lunar surface, with
Buzz Aldrin being the second.
“
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
— Neil Armstrong
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, ending the Cold War in an
American victory.
Modern Era[edit | edit source]
After the Cold War, America became the sole global superpower. He began to try to reform healthcare and grow the economy. The economy experienced a period of growth, fueled by the dot-com boom, but ended the decade with the bursting of the dot-com bubble. USA also successfully avoided the Y2K bug.
On September 11, 2001, two planes from the terrorist organization
Al-Qaeda hit the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. This killed 2,977 victims and 19 hijackers. This event sparked the War on Terror, and is forever glued to the American hearts. As a part of the War on Terror,
America went into the Middle East and searching for
terrorists in
Afghanistan and
Iraq.
In late August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit USA. The damages are estimated between $97.4 billion to $145.5 billion, with 1,836 fatalities. From January 28 to February 4, 2023, a
Chinese spy balloon was spotted flying over North America. USA
, but shot it down
Biden, being the ignorant old man that he is, said it was not a major breach.
Today, the two opposing parties: Joe Biden-led
Democratic Party and the
Republican Party led by
Donald Trump are really against each other. With the mainstream media in huge favor of
Biden,
Trump is in a tricky situation where fake news are all being made and used against him.
Culture[edit | edit source]
USA’s culture is very mixed, as a lot of different people live there. There are indigenous cultures that have been present for thousands of years, each with its own unique traditions, languages, and art forms.
Native American tribes like the
Navajo,
Cherokee, and
Sioux, among many others, contribute to the rich tapestry of American cultural heritage.
In addition to indigenous influences, the USA has been significantly shaped by waves of immigration. European settlers brought their customs, languages, and
religious practices, which were later joined by influences from
African,
Asian,
Latin American, and
Middle Eastern communities. This blend of cultures is evident in American cuisine, music, literature, and holiday celebrations.
For instance, the culinary scene in the USA is incredibly diverse, featuring everything from Italian pasta and
Mexican tacos to
Chinese dim sum and
Indian curry. Music genres like jazz, blues, as well as more modern and degenerate genres like rock and hip-hop, all which originated in the USA, and reflect a blend of
African,
European, and
Latin influences. Literature and art in the USA also showcase a variety of perspectives and experiences, from classic American novels to contemporary works by authors of diverse backgrounds.
The cultural diversity of the USA is celebrated through numerous festivals and events, such as New York City's multicultural parades,
Los Angeles' food festivals, and
Chicago's music festivals, which highlight the contributions of different ethnic groups to the national fabric. This multiculturalism is one of the defining characteristics of American identity, fostering a society that values inclusivity and innovation.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- USA is an outlier in
democratic nations, still practicing the death penalty. Prisoners are mostly executed by electric chair or lethal injection.
- Unlike in the
United Kingdom, eggs have to be refrigerated in the US. This is because American commercial eggs are washed and dried, but this process removes the egg’s cuticle, making bacteria more easier to grow.
