The USA was founded in 1776 when thirteen colonies declared independence from British rule. Over the years, it expanded westward, acquiring territories through treaties and conflicts, shaping its diverse cultural landscape.
The country faced significant challenges, including the Civil War in the 1860s, which addressed issues of slavery and states' rights. The 20th century saw the USA emerge as a global power, influencing world events through two World Wars and the Cold War.
