To ask which country in the world today is most easily deified by its people, the answer is undoubtedly the United States. In everyone's impression, the United States is not only economically powerful but also technology and culture are in a leading position in the world. Of course, this is a fact. The source of everyone's deification is nothing more than the fact that the United States has not only been established for more than two hundred years but has seized every opportunity to become the world's leader.
More than five hundred years ago, the American continent was still barren, and the land of North America was even more primitive. The local aboriginals live a peaceful life in peace and tranquility.
A man named Columbus broke this tranquility and knocked on the door of disaster for the local natives. Columbus was a famous Italian navigator. He was dispatched by the Queen of Spain, with an infinite vision for India and China, but unexpectedly went to the Bahamas in the Caribbean, and then arrived on the island of Cuba. Columbus mistakenly thought this was legendary India. So it was called "Indians", and the local natives had a new name "Indians" from then on.
At this time, an Italian scholar named Americ Vespvck had doubts about Columbus. After many inspections, it was proved that Columbus had discovered a new continent unknown to Europeans. Later, this continent was simply named after Amerigo, called "America".
At this point, the embryonic form of the name of the United States began to appear.
With regard to the New World, Western countries that are obsessed with colonial expansion are so excited that they set foot on this land one after another. In 1607, a colonized group from Britain took the lead in establishing Jamestown on Chesapeake Beach, which became the first permanent British colony established in North America. Jamestown was the first to colonize, and in the following hundred years, European colonists flocked to it. Britain took the lead, followed by France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
For the colonists, this land is an opportunity; for the Indians, it is a disaster. A large number of Indians were slaughtered, the land was occupied, and the property was robbed. After civilized courtesy of barbarism, only Cen Cen's blood is left behind.
After continuous massacres and games, this land later formed thirteen colonies, all of which operated independently under the leadership of Britain. Although these colonies are the younger brothers of Britain, they are thousands of miles away from Britain, and after a long period of time, they are prone to cracks.
Sure enough, because of the issue of trade dumping, the tea dumping incident occurred in Boston in 1773, and the spearhead was directed at Britain. This incident became the fuse between the colony and Britain. Two years later, the North American War of Independence broke out; three years later, representatives of the thirteen states collectively signed the "Declaration of Independence", which became the beginning of the founding of the United States.
At the beginning of the establishment of the United States, it was recognized by France, followed by Spain and the Netherlands, and later they were involved in wars one after another. After a series of wars, the U.S. military finally won. Subsequently, state institutions began to be established, and the judicial system was established. After the Second War of Independence, the states of the United States were more united.
This is the history of the founding of the United States. With the independence of the country, the United States has acquired and seized many continents through purchases, wars, and other forms, and its territory has expanded repeatedly.
Within the United States, through the Westward Movement and the Civil War, the country's operations were on track. Everyone is familiar with the history of the American family, and everyone knows the history of the family too.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the United States began to industrialize, and by the eve of World War I, the United States had become an urbanized country. Since then, the United States has been involved in the vortex of war, experienced the Great Depression of capitalism, participated in World War II, and finally entered a series of global events such as the U.S.-Soviet struggle for hegemony.
The United States has become one of the largest powers in a short period of time, and the reasons for this are thought-provoking. Some people say that this is due to the advantages of a democratic republic; some people say that this is due to a large number of European immigrants and a group of outstanding talents; others say that this is related to the vast geographical advantages of the United States; some others say that the United States Stay away from the traditional center of the world and be less affected by wars, thus gaining development opportunities. What cannot be ignored is that the United States has a short history of founding a nation, and there is almost no interference from traditional forces and ties to the old and the new. This may be the crux of the problem.
