THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

                                                      

emerged as an independent country after

1776 and recognized in 1783 the history

of these lands is deeper than that

thousands of years ago the first people

settled in the American continent it is

not exactly known how the Native

Americans first settled in these

territories but a theory says that

people migrated from Eurasia starting

30,000 years ago across a land bridge

known as Beringia this connected Siberia

to North America during the Ice Age this

migration continued until 10,000 years

ago at that time a glacial period ended

and the land bridge became submerged by

the rising ocean but before we move any

the early inhabitants were called the

paleo Americans in time they migrated

even deeper in Americas and they formed

tribes and nations they created

interesting civilizations

developing their own culture among the

cultures that existed here we can

mention Edina culture Iroquois culture

calls Creek culture pueblos and culture

and Mississippian culture but another

part of today the United States has an

interesting indifferent history

speaking about Hawaii this land wasn't

inhabited until the 1st centuries ad

native development started with the

settlement of Polynesian people between

the 1st and 10th centuries starting in

the 15th century European colonization

began in 1492 a Spanish expedition

headed by the Italian Explorer

Christopher Columbus sailed west to find

a new trade route to the Far East but

landed in what came to be known to

Europeans as the new world after this

event in the next decades more and more

ships sailed West to establish colonies

and trade posts the Spaniards began

building their American empire using

islands such as Cuba Puerto Rico and

Hispaniola as bases they expanded hugely

France founded colonies in eastern North

America a number of Caribbean islands

and small coastal parts of South America

Portugal colonized Brazil the eastern

sea coast was settled primarily by

English colonists in the 17th century

along with a much smaller number of

Dutch and Swedes the first successful

English colony Jamestown was established

in 1607 on the James River in Virginia

new wave of settlers arrived in the late

17th century and established commercial

agriculture based on tobacco even though

there were some conflicts between the

Native Americans and English settlers

the colonies managed to expand pretty

fast and more and more people settled in

each of the 13 American colonies had

slightly different governmental

structure in fact a colony was ruled by

a governor appointed from London this

governor controlled the administration

and relied upon a locally elected

legislature to vote taxes and make laws

by the 18th century the American

colonies were growing very rapidly and

as a result of low death rates along

with ample supplies of land and food

this attracted a heavy flow of

immigrants the tobacco and rice

plantations in

ordered African slaves for labor from

the British colonies in the West Indies

and by the 1770s African slaves

compromised a fifth of the American

population the question of independence

from Britain did not arise as long as

the colonies needed British military

support against the French and Spanish

powers the French and Indian War was an

event created by the political

development of the colonies it was also

part of the larger Seven Years War

Britain beat French forces and France

lost their colonies and territories in

Canada and Louisiana the war was costly

and Britain needed money the British

Parliament passed the Stamp Act of 1765

imposing attacks on the colonies without

going through the colonial legislatures

the issue was drawn did Parliament have

this right to tax Americans who were not

represented in it crying no taxation

without representation the colonists

refused to pay the taxes as tensions

escalated in the late 1760s and early

1770s the Boston Tea Party in 1773

was marked as the start of the

revolution it happened in the town of

Boston to protest against the new tax on

tea Parliament quickly responded the

next year with the coercive acts

stripping Massachusetts of its historic

right of self-government and putting it

under army rule which sparked outrage

and resistance in all 13 colonies

leaders from all 13 colonies gathered

and created the First Continental

Congress to coordinate their resistance

the Congress called for a boycott of

British trade published a list of Rights

and grievances and petitioned the King

for redress of those grievances

it wasn't about independence at that

point but this appeal had no effect and

so the Second Continental Congress was

created in 1775 in order to organize the

defense of the colonies against the

British Army the thirteen colonies began

a rebellion against British rule in 1775

and proclaimed their independence in

1776 as the United States of America in

the American Revolutionary War 1775 to

1783 the Americans captured the British

Invasion army at Saratoga in 1777

secured the Northeast and encouraged the

French to make a military alliance

the United States France brought in

Spain and the Netherlands

thus balancing the military and naval

forces on each side as Britain had no

allies General George Washington was an

excellent organizer and administrator

who worked successfully with Congress

and the state governors selecting and

mentoring his senior officers supporting

and training his troops and maintaining

an idealistic Republican Army the

American Revolution was a success and

that the Peace of Paris of 1783 their

independence was recognized and even so

the former colonies gained more than

expected the expansion to the West

started incorporating the Emmer Indian

lands west of the Appalachian Mountains

a deal was made by the United States

President Thomas Jefferson in 1803 he

bought the Louisiana territory from

France initial diplomats sent to France

were allowed to spend up to ten million

u.s. dollars in order to buy just New

Orleans and if possible the west bank of

the Mississippi River but the French

government and said that for five

million more dollars all of the

Louisiana territory would be sold the

president approved the deal and the u.s.

doubled its size in the middle of the

19th century some sessions were

happening and Texas in joining the Union

in 1845 and after the war against

Mexican Empire the United States will

take important lands and expand even

further in 1861 after Abraham Lincoln

was elected some states from the south

the Confederation attacked the rest the

south revolt was happening due to

controversy over the enslavement of

black people in 1860 the United States

was led by Abraham Lincoln supporting

banning slavery in all territories war

broke out in April 1861 when

secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter

in South Carolina after four years of

war the Union achieved its victory and

the Confederates were defeated national

unity was slowly restored the national

government expanded its power the 19th

century was a period of economic

expansion more and more industries were

created and also the ascent was put on

infrastructure in 1898 the American

Spanish war is happening Americans are

winning in short terms some battles

and at the Treaty of Paris us is getting

the Philippines Puerto Rico and Guam at

the beginning of the 20th century World

War one started even though the US was

neutral due to German attacks on the

American ships and due to their

intentions to make Mexico join against

the u.s. the Americans joined the Allies

after this event the economy was growing

and all was good until the Great

Depression which started in 1929 this

event shook the world and created a base

on which the second world war will start

United States joined the Allies after

being attacked at Pearl Harbor on

December 7th 1941 by the Japanese Empire

Americans fought a distant war in Europe

Pacific and they provided supplies to

the Soviets armored cars motorized

equipment food etc winning battle by

battle in the Pacific getting closer to

the Japanese mainland and after d-day in

Europe in 1944 the Americans managed to

have a great impact and to help a lot on

the Allied side the war ended in 1945

Germany capitulated in May and Japan in

September after the two nuclear bombs

dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki the

United States and Soviet Union emerged

as rival superpowers in the aftermath of

World War two this was a period known as

the Cold War

the two countries confronted each other

indirectly in the arms race proxy wars

across the world including the Korean

and Vietnam wars and propaganda

campaigns the purpose of this was to

stop the spread of communism in the

1960s waves of civil rights movement

started rights of voting and freedom of

movement to African Americans and other

racial minorities the Cold War ended

with the collapse of the Soviet Union

after the United States has been

focusing on modern conflicts in the

Middle East the beginning of the 21st

century saw the September 11th attacks

carried out by al-qaeda in 2001 which

was later followed by the wars in Iraq

and Afghanistan in 2008 the United

States had its worst economic crisis

since the Great Depression
