First, a group of nomadic hunter gatherers crosses onto a new continent, which they eventually conquer and populate to more than 10 million people!. They develop advanced cultures, live in every corner of the continent, create diverse societies, and begin to create modern farming techniques!.

Next, foriegners from Europe land, carrying horrific diseases!. 95% of the natives die!. Storming through the post-apocolyptic landscape, the Europeans eventually conquer most of the continent, the French reducing them to economic dependence through trade, the Spaniards forcing them into servitude through conquest, and the English just pushing them West!. A culture develops in the US of persistent and never-ending economic and military imperialism as they push west, a culture that not even their British leaders can stop, and they become independent and capitalistic!.

Finally, with their massive, wealthy continent, their imperialistic culture, and their independent citizenry, they begin to enforce their ideology on other cultures, and the weight of their nation is insurmountable!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

A celebration of many small steps and events that turned a lightly settled land into a nation, then a nation of small consequence, then a nation of some consequence, and finally into a world leader!. If you stop and think about the world status of the USA 200 years ago and compare it to today that change is tremendous!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
