Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state. The economy is marked by steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology American Samoa, Baker Island, Guam, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Islands, Navassa Island, Northern Mariana Islands, Palmyra Atoll, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Wake Island note: from 18 July 1947 until 1 October 1994, the US administered the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands; it entered into a political relationship with all four political units: the Northern Mariana Islands is a commonwealth in political union with the US (effective 3 November 1986); the Republic of the Marshall Islands signed a Compact of Free Association with the US (effective 21 October 1986); the Federated States of Micronesia signed a Compact of Free Association with the US (effective 3 November 1986); Palau concluded a Compact of Free Association with the US (effective 1 October 1994 https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html

Jul 24, 2008 - In 2008, thousands of American military ballots will arrive after the election, or not at all. House Reps Steny Hoyer and Roy Blunt are co-sponsoring a resolution to get the Defense Department moving. Under Secretary of Defense David Chu, is best known for his chronic failure to return phone calls. In an election year, these men and women deprived of their right to vote are the least of politicians' worries. The least we can do is ensure that they enjoy the same rights they are asked to die for!

Jul 24, 2008 - The first generation of Internet was created under Korean Politician named Kim Il Song in 1915. Korea lent the technology to US government for helping the War, but after the war, America betrayed Korea and took every benefit of it. Until now, America is keeping secret that they stole tecnology from Korea! FUCK U.S! LONG LIVE KOREA!!

Jul 25, 2008 - I would be more proud of being an American if we sorted out our own problems at home instead of trying to solve (actually creating!) the rest of the World's problems. America is headed in the wrong direction and if you think I am wrong or a traitor then you don't have a brain!

Jul 25, 2008 - Hell yeah! I love America and there's no "but"'s about it! I'd rather live in America than any other country in the world. And yes, I've been to a few others (and lived) and always thanks God when I fly back into LAX international and see those American flags.

Jul 25, 2008 - How do you enjoy paying one of the highest income taxes in the world over there in Denmark? Oh wait, judging by your picture I doubt you even have a job so you probably don't know anything about income tax yet. Well, when you decide to grow up, get back to me.

Jul 26, 2008 - If you cuss in the internet, actually anywhere, it is pointed that you have an IQ lower than 50... So can you please stop refraining from pointing out vulgar expressions... McCain and Obama, which one? I will have to vote for McCain since HE does support our military cause and his economic plans are amazing. Also Obama lies... He was against NAFTA before the primary democratic, now he supports it... He was supposed to plan the withrawal from Iraq, now he says "I might consult the Military first"

Jul 26, 2008 - America would actually win more respect if we would sort out our own problems and keep our noses out of other countries' affairs.
