Russia is by far or by a considerable margin the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area. Russia has 11 time zones and 49 regions but they no longer use daylight savings. (Russian: Россия, Rossiya, Russian pronunciation: [rɐˈsʲijə]), or the Russian Federation, is a country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world, covering over 17 million square kilometres (6.6×106 sq mi), and encompassing more than one-eighth of Earth's inhabited land area. Russia extends across eleven time zones, and has the most borders of any country in the world, with sixteen sovereign nations. It has a population of 146.2 million; and is the most populous country in Europe, and the ninth-most populous country in the world. Moscow, the capital, is the largest city in Europe, while Saint Petersburg is the nation's second-largest city and cultural centre. Russians are the largest Slavic and European nation; they speak Russian, the most spoken Slavic language, and the most spoken native language in Europe. Description Appereance Russia is typically portrayed as tall (and sometimes slim) and wearing an ushanka. They usually wear a (sometimes oversized) light bluish purple shirt with light grey stripes and they wear a light brown bandage, on their left cheek. Most fans when drawing them have bandages wrapped around both forearms, due to self-harm, which is seemingly linked to the death of their parent, ( USSR) as many fans headcanon. They are often shown with a bottle of vodka. They're also represented with a military suit of commanders of the Russian Empire. Personality Different sources depict them differently. Mostly dark, quiet, and "dangerous". A lot of people headcanon that they suffer from depression and are often drunk due to drinking too much vodka, they're often headcanoned to be known for blaming themself for their (past-self's or parent's) death, ( USSR). Another reason why they are depicted as depressed might be because of the famous Russian (Russian-Lithuanian) writer, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. (More commonly known as Dostoevsky) Who became depressed for quite some of his life.

Nicknames Ruski/Russki Russ Tricolour Russie Commie (Nickname from America) Etymology The name "Россия" (Rossiya) came from the old Russian word "Русь" (Rus), a Viking population who colonized Russia in the Middle Ages. Origin of languages Russian is an East Slavic language of the wider Indo-European family. It is a descendant of the language used in Kievan Rus', a loose conglomerate of East Slavic tribes from the late 9th to the mid-13th centuries. History The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. The medieval state of Rus' arose in the 9th century. In 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus' ultimately disintegrated until it was finally reunified by the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the 15th century. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, the third-largest empire in history. Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian SFSR became the largest and leading constituent of the Soviet Union, the world's first constitutionally socialist state, which was a one-party state throughout most of its existence. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II, and emerged as a superpower and rival to the United States during the Cold War. The Soviet era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite and the launching of the first human in space. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian SFSR reconstituted itself as the Russian Federation. In the aftermath of the constitutional crisis of 1993, a new constitution was adopted, and Russia has since been governed as a federal semi-presidential republic. Vladimir Putin has dominated Russia's political system since 2000, and his government has been accused of authoritarianism, numerous human rights abuses, and corruption. Russia is a great power, and is considered a potential superpower. It is ranked very high in the Human Development Index, with a universal healthcare system, and a free university education. Russia's economy is the world's eleventh-largest by nominal GDP and the sixth-largest by PPP. It is a recognised nuclear-weapons state, possessing the world's largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, with the world's second-most powerful military, and the fourth-highest military expenditure. Russia's extensive mineral and energy resources are the world's largest, and it is one of the leading producers of oil and natural gas globally. It is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a member of the G20, the SCO, the Council of Europe, the APEC, the OSCE, the IIB and the WTO, as well as the leading member of the CIS, the CSTO, and the EAEU. Russia is also home to the ninth-greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Pre-history Pre-Slavic inhabitants The deepest levels of the Kostenki archaeological site near the Don River in Russia, which has been dated to at least 40,000 years ago. Arctic Russia was reached by 40,000 years ago. Later, vast steppes of Southern Russia were home to tribes of nomadic pastoralists. In the 8th century BCE, Greek and Turkish merchants has reached the land and settled there Slavs Kievan Rus Kievan or Kyivan Rus' was a loose federation of East Slavic and Finno-Ugric peoples in Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century,under the reign of the Varangian Rurik dynasty. The modern nations of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine all claim Kievan Rus' as their cultural ancestors, with Belarus and Russia deriving their names from it. Russia was ruled by the Rurikid dynasty until the 16th century. At its greatest extent, in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east,uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes. Foundation of the Kievan state Rurik led the Rus' until his death in about 879, bequeathing his kingdom to his kinsman, Prince Oleg, as regent for his young son, Igor.In 880–82, Oleg led a military force south along the Dnieper river, capturing Smolensk and Lyubech before reaching Kiev, where he deposed and killed Askold and Dir, proclaimed himself prince, and declared Kiev the "mother of Rus' cities."Oleg set about consolidating his power over the surrounding region and the riverways north to Novgorod, imposing tribute on the East Slav tribes. In 883, he conquered the Drevlians, imposing a fur tribute on them. By 885 he had subjugated the Poliane, Severiane, Vyatichi, and Radimichs, forbidding them to pay further tribute to the Khazars. Oleg continued to develop and expand a network of Rus' forts in Slav lands, begun by Rurik in the north. Mongolian invasion The Mongol conquest of Kievan Rus was part of the Mongol invasion of Europe, in which the Mongol Empire invaded and conquered Kievan Rus' and other Russian principalities in the 13th century AD, destroying numerous cities, including Ryazan, Kolomna, Moscow, Vladimir and Kiev.The campaign was heralded by the Battle of the Kalka River in May 1223, which resulted in a Mongol victory over the forces of several Rus' principalities. The Mongols retreated, having gathered their intelligence which was the purpose of the reconnaissance-in-force. A full-scale invasion of Rus' by Batu Khan followed, from 1237 to 1242. The invasion was ended by the Mongol succession process upon the death of Ögedei Khan. All Rus' principalities were forced to submit to Mongol rule and became vassals of the Golden Horde empire, some of which lasted until 1480. The invasion, facilitated by the beginning of the breakup of Kievan Rus' in the 13th century, had incalculable ramifications for the history of Eastern Europe, including the division of the East Slavic people into three separate nations: modern-day Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, and the rise of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Invasion of Batu Khan The vast Mongol (Tartar) army of around 40,000 mounted archers, commanded by Batu Khan and Subutai, crossed the Volga River and invaded Volga Bulgaria in late 1236. It took them only a month to extinguish the resistance of the weak Volga Bulgars, the Cumans-Kipchaks and the Alans.In November 1237, Batu Khan sent his envoys to the court of Yuri II of Vladimir and demanded his submission. A month later, the Tartar hordes besieged Ryazan. After six days of bloody battle, the city was totally annihilated and inhabitants slaughtered. Alarmed by the news, Yuri II sent his sons to detain the invaders, but they were defeated and ran for their lives. Having burnt down Kolomna and Moscow, the horde laid siege to Vladimir on February 4, 1238. Three days later, the capital of Vladimir-Suzdal was taken and burnt to the ground. The royal family perished in the fire, while the grand prince retreated northward. Crossing the Volga, Vladimir mustered a new army, which was encircled and totally annihilated by the Mongols in the Battle of the Sit River on March 4.Thereupon Batu Khan divided his army into smaller units, which ransacked fourteen cities of modern-day Russia: Rostov, Uglich, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Kashin, Ksnyatin, Gorodets, Galich, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yuriev-Polsky, Dmitrov, Volokolamsk, Tver, and Torzhok. Chinese siege engines were used by the Mongols under Tului to raze the walls of Rus' cities. The most difficult to take was the small town of Kozelsk, whose boy-prince Vasily, son of Titus, and inhabitants resisted the Mongols for seven weeks, killing 4,000. Russians and Tatars WIP War With Ukraine TBA This will include controversial information! Politics Government The government of Russia is a "federal semi-presidential republic". The President and Prime Minister of Russia both share the roles head of state, and head of government, allowing some power to be distributed between the two (thus being a semi-presidential system). Still, the president holds some authority over the Prime Minister nevertheless. Like many other countries, Russia's government is split into three branches: the judicial, executive, and legislative branch. The Executive branch carries out laws, the judicial branch reviews laws, and the legislation makes and votes on different bills/laws to be put in. The president of Russia is Vladimir Putin, and the prime minister of Russia is Mikhail Mishustin. The president of Russia acts as the head of the executive branch and can be elected by the people to serve terms that last around 6 years. Like the USA, a president can only serve 2 terms. As president, they can veto laws or policies set forth by the legislative branch, and also work as commander-in-chief for the military. Diplomacy Ukraine Russia and Ukraine have a bilateral relation between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. The bilateral relationship between Russia and Ukraine formally started in the 1990s immediately upon the dissolution of the Soviet Union, of which both Russia and Ukraine had been founding constituent republics. Interactions between the two areas of Russia and Ukraine developed on a formal basis from the 17th century (note the Treaty of Pereyaslav between Moscow and Bohdan Khmelnytsky's cossacks in 1654), but international-level relations ceased when Catherine the Great liquidated the autonomy of the Cossack Hetmanate in 1764. For a short period of time soon after the communist 1917 October Revolution two states interacted again. In 1920, Soviet Russian forces overran Ukraine and relations between the two states transitioned from international to internal ones within the Soviet Union, founded in 1922. After the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991, Russia and Ukraine have undergone periods of ties, tensions, and outright hostility. Geography Geographically, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, and North Korea. Since Russia has Kaliningrad, it then shares borders with Lithuania and Poland. It has an area of 17,125,191 km2 and occupies 11 time zones. Climates in Russia can range from humid continental climates (around Moscow or Saint Petersburg) to extremely cold and bitter in places such as Siberia. Due to Russia's immense size, there are also many different physical regions in the country. Some could include: The European Plain (located in the Western side of Russia), the Caucasus Mountains (a range of mountains located in the southwest region of Russia), and the Kolyma Lowlands (an area in far Eastern Russia which is surrounded by many other mountain ranges which block it off from the volcanic Pacific area of the Eastern tip of Russia [the Kamchatka Ranges that stretch along an-almost island part of Russia that sits on the Ring of Fire, causing it to experience much volcanic activity]). Other extremely massive regions of Russia that could be credited are the Siberian Taiga (a huge area of forest that covers almost all of Eastern Russia, it is the largest forest region on Earth, and suffers from harsh winters) and the Steppe region, an area of Southern Russia that contains many plains. The north of Russia is quite dangerous to inhabit, containing freezing cold temperatures and desert-like tundra which make it practically impossible to navigate. Around these areas, and most of Russia in general out of the Western block, contains massive amounts of oil, which is the reason Russia is the #1 exporter of oil in the world. Interesting facts about Russia's geography could include: They have the largest currently active volcano, Kluchevskoy. They have the most massive swamp in the world, the Russian Great Vasyugan swamp. The Ural Mountains located in Russia are the oldest in the world. The Kazakh and Russian land border is the longest in the world. Obviously, Russia is the largest country in the world with an area of 17,125,191 km2.

Puppet States (list of assumed puppet states) Abkhazia South Ossetia He's Russian and he has a thick Russian accent and he can speak Russia and English And he's a country human Height: 182 cm (5'11.6") Age: 33 years old Trivia Russia and Germany are usually represented as two tragic countries that have suffered the darkest dictatorships of the twentieth century in Europe ( Third Reich and USSR). However, in their respective future versions, Germany is positively represented while Russia is negatively represented. Some fans assume that Russia's parent's is France. Probably, despite the traditional rivalry between the two countries, due to similarities with their respective revolutions. Russia and Spain are often represented as distant counterparts of the European continent to each other. Popularly, it is often considered that political positions should not be a problem to get to know each other better between Moscow and Madrid. This may also refer to the similarities of the Russian and Spanish Empires. Both countries are the biological parents of Alaska and Antarctica. They're mostly depicted with vodka, a stereotypical drink associated with Russia. It's due to the fact that every Russian person (especially men) consumes an average of 18 liters of vodka per year, which is twice the amount allowed medically. In Russia, the death rate exceeds the birth rate. Most deaths are related to vodka (and alcoholic drinks in general) and the homicide rate, given that Russia has the highest rate of 9.7 murders per 100,000 people, more than that in the United States, which amounts to 4.7 murders per 100,000 people. Some describe Russia as a suicidal person due to the fact that suicide rates are very high, as they recorded the second-highest suicide rate in WHO data after Lithuania. Russia is actually bigger than the mass of Pluto. Russia has the highest rank on global cat ownership (59%), they love cats more than anyone on the planet. It has 9 time zones and is the only country in the world to have so. As a result of the dispute between Russia and Japan over the Kuril Islands, both didn't sign a peace agreement to end the war that occurred between them during WWII, so legally there's still a war between them. The mayor of Megon, a city in Russia, has passed a decree banning the apology. Next character is America: Information Government Federal presidential republic - President Donald J.

It shares its borders with Canada and Mexico and has access to the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean Sea. The US is one of the most popular characters in CountryHumans, along with their half-siblings Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Description Appearance The United States is commonly seen as male. Regardless of gender, they are usually depicted with a black-shirt with the acronym "NATO" in white, all caps adorned with blue or black jeans and every shade in-between to match their canton or their shirt with tennis shoes sometimes from famous brands such as Nike, Adidas, Converse, and Vans usually in white, blue, red, or black colors to most people in the fandom. (Instead of NATO being on the shirt, there can also be the logo of NASA; the space organization of the United States.) Another quite common outfit of theirs which is rising in the fandom is America with a green letterman jacket (called a bomber jacket in America) with faux fur lining the hoodie with a black skin-tight latex long shirt with ripped jeans sometimes with pins and stitched on badges added on. Either way they always have sunglasses (frequently taped on if they have a ball head). The frequent glasses has also made some people make America have different eyes in contrast to the other countryhumans, such as T.tazy's AU, where America has pure black eyes due to them not having any culture. If they are drawn with hair it's usually black, blonde, or correlating with their flag. Personality The USA just wanted freedom, that's all they ever wanted, they had a strong sense of justice and even if it was a bit wonky, it was a different era, they had always wanted to show everyone that they were a star a beacon of hope and freedom, and having a strong moral drive, they beat the worlds best military at the time with a group of poorly trained, volunteer citizens (minutemen), and even with their spats they love their family, Canada (best siblings), Australia, New Zealand, etc, they love them to death. United States is portrayed as confident/brave and not afraid to get into messes they don't know they can't handle. They can be loud at times but will tone it down if needed and can be a bit impulsive at times, but their heart is in the right place. They regret their past and has trouble forgiving themselves for what they did, even if everybody else has. In some AUs they can get panic attacks because of this, though this is uncommon. They do show love for their family in many fan fictions, or either hate them. Their ‘true colors’ is when they really just want to fit in and is a friendly guy who's confident and happy to help someone in need (some fanfictions portray them as hiding things from their family; with low self-esteem; or just broken mentally/having less that great mental health overall. Some fanfictions portray them as self-harming/suicidal because of the not-so-great things they did in the past, like bombing Imperial Japan), especially protecting them, since they helped stopping WWI and WWII; they believe that they must interfere in the affairs of other countries and their problems in order to keep the peace, sometimes they end up doing harm more than good and end up getting so much hate. However, they're also seen to be from their government/president's view. Meaning, if their government made a choice or speech, they'd be the one to say it or they'd be the one to support it. Despite that, countries still support America, and love them. Because of that, relations with Russia, China, and especially their allies are tense. A lot of the world has lost confidence in the 45th president of the U.S. but that isn't with Russia. Europeans are worried about the political system, too. Despite all of that, Americans are still popular worldwide. United States and China tend to get along somewhat, it’s been a tough relationship, and things were only getting tougher when a pandemic came on the hand in 2020. They care a lot on what other people think of them, especially since their image is shaking and is broken. They don't know what to do, they're a world superpower, they needed to fight off China, it was so stressful. The United States is portrayed as tough due to them being a world power. They're also shown exhausted, tired, signing an immense amount of paperwork or reading due to that. (but not as much as Germany has) They're proud of their accomplishments yet mostly not portrayed as to show them off too often, they could act insensitive at times, but it's coming from the government more than the country themselves, they still smile about it and glad they accomplished those.

These stars represent the 50 federal states. This has been the official flag since Hawai’i became a member of the union on 21 August 1959.[1] The colors red, white, and blue did not have meanings for when it was adopted in 1777. However, the colors in the Great Seal did have specific meanings. Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, reporting to Congress on the Seal, stated: "The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valor, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice."[2 Nicknames Ame Joe Uncle Sam (Government personification) Columbia (Nation personification) Lady Liberty (Nation personification) 'Murica U.S.A.

The most common languages are English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Arabic, French, Korean, Russian, and Portuguese. There are no official languages in the United States but English is considered the national language. Etymology The United States, or sometimes United States of America, ect. has one of the simplest etymologies of all countries. United States refers to the 50 states, (or republics if you want to get technical) which joined together, make the country. As the name America states, it is situated in North America. Although all the states have had their sides (Civil War), they have all come together and are leading the United States of America. Each state has their own Governor, like a president, and a mini version of the whole country's government. There's really nothing hard about the name. (Except choosing "which" name you say.) Organizations and Affiliations ❝ As the United States is a major power to achieve peace around the world, they are part of many international organizations ❞ History Colonial America In 1492, Christopher Columbus, sponsored by Spain, landed on an island in the Bahamas, opening the Americas to exploration and colonization. This event would start the Age of Exploration. There were multiple failures in colonizing the area of the modern day United States, but the first successful colony was set up by Spain as the outpost of St. Augustine, founded in 1565. France would begin setting up posts, centered on the St. Lawrence river, in what is now Canada and the United States. The Netherlands set up New Netherlands in modern day New York and New Jersey, though it was later incorporated into the British Thirteen Colonies. England’s first colony in North America was a failure, as the Lost Colony of Roanoke lasted no longer than 5 years and all of its inhabitants disappeared. The first successful English settlement was founded in 1607 named Jamestown. The colony was named after the English king at the time, James I. The people that made up the first colonists of Jamestown were men, no women were on the first voyage, who were looking to get rich quickly as it was promised there would be riches in the New World; therefore, there were very few laborers amongst the original settlers. The area was selected because it was deemed to be a good place for a fortified settlement. However, the land was poor for agriculture as well as swampy and riddled with mosquitos. Not only that but the settlers arrived during a drought, which proved food and water to be scarce. Two-thirds of the settlers died in the first year of settlement. In 1609 came the starving time where the settlers faced starvation and were forced to eat snakes or boil the leather from shoes; there is also evidence of the settlers turning to cannibalism. Only 60 of the 214 settlers remained at this point. It was later on in 1614 that John Rolfe discovered that tobacco grew well in the marshy soil of Jamestown and it became a cash crop of the colony. Unfortunately, relations with the natives continued to worsen as more land was usurped. A few years later, another colony was set up in what is now Massachusetts, named Plymouth, in 1620. The people that came aboard the Mayflower to Plymouth were mainly Puritans who were separatists of the Church of England; they believed that the Church had not completed the work of the Protestant Reformation. Those who settled in Plymouth are better known as pilgrims. It’s said that the pilgrims first arrived at Plymouth Rock but that has never been confirmed. Life was not easy during the first winter, with threats of starvation and the lack of shelter. The pilgrims depended mostly upon the Native Americans. They were taught how to farm corn, catch fish, and other skills that would be useful. In 1621, the Wampanoag chief signed a peace treaty with the colonists, and due to a plentiful harvest, the colonists and the Wampanoag celebrated with a feast, which is now known as the First Thanksgiving. By the 17th and 18th centuries, the Thirteen Colonies were formed in what is now the states of: Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. The Colonies were divided into groups: the New England colonies, consisting of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut; the Middle Colonies, which were New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware; then the Southern colonies, those of which were Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. American Revolution The American colonists proclaimed "No taxation without representation!" starting with the Stamp Act Congress in 1765. They rejected the authority of the British Parliament to tax them because there were no representatives from the colonies in the British Parliament. The theory of virtual representation was developed, which was the idea that elected individuals represented the entire empire, not one region. Protests steadily escalated to the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the burning of the Gaspee in Rhode Island in 1772, followed by the Boston Tea Party in December 1773. The British responded by closing Boston Harbor and enacting a series of punitive laws that effectively rescinded Massachusetts Bay Colony's rights of self-government. The other colonies rallied behind Massachusetts, and a group of American Patriot leaders set up their government in late 1774 at the Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance of Britain; other colonists retained their allegiance to the Crown and were known as "Loyalists" or "Tories". Tensions erupted into a battle between Patriot militia and British regulars when King George's redcoats attempted to destroy Colonial military supplies at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. The conflict then developed into a war, during which the Patriots (and later their French allies) fought the British and Loyalists in what became known as the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783). Each of the thirteen colonies formed a Provincial Congress which assumed power from the former colonial governments, suppressed Loyalism, and recruited a Continental Army led by General George Washington. The Continental Congress declared King George a tyrant who trampled the colonists' rights as Englishmen, and they announced the colonies free and independent states on July 2, 1776. The Patriot leadership professed the political philosophies of liberalism and republicanism to reject monarchy and aristocracy, and they proclaimed that all men are created equal. The Continental Army forced the redcoats out of Boston in March 1776, but that summer, The British captured New York City and its strategic harbor, which they held for the duration of The War. The Royal Navy had put blockade on ports and captured other cities for brief periods, but they failed to destroy Washington's forces. The Patriots attempted to invade Canada during the winter of 1775–76 without success, but they captured a British army at the Battle of Saratoga in October 1777. France entered The War as an ally of the United States with a large army and navy. The war then moved to the Southern states, where Charles Cornwallis captured an army at Charleston, South Carolina, in early 1780, but they failed to enlist enough volunteers from Loyalist civilians to take effective control of the territory. Finally, a combined American and French force captured a second British army at Yorktown in the fall of 1781, effectively ending the war. The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783, formally ending the conflict and confirming the new nation's complete separation from the British Empire. The United States took possession of nearly all the territory east of the Mississippi River and south of the Great Lakes, with the British retaining control of Canada and Spain taking Florida. Among the significant results of the American Revolution was the creation of the United States Constitution, establishing a relatively strong federal national government that included an executive, a national judiciary, and a bicameral Congress representing states in the Senate and the population in the House of Representatives. The American Revolution also resulted in the migration of around 60,000 Loyalists to other British territories, especially British North America ( Canada). Expansion and Manifest Destiny The period between the end of the American Revolution and the start of the Civil War is mainly characterized by the concept of Manifest Destiny, that white Americans were divinely ordained to expand borders to the Pacific Ocean and settle. WIP The American Civil War In the 34 States in February 1861, seven Southern slave states were declared by partisans to have seceded from the country, and the Confederate States of America was organized in rebellion against the United States Constitutional government. The Confederacy grew to control at least a majority of territory in eleven states, and it claimed the additional States of Kentucky and Missouri by assertions from native secessionists fleeing Union authority, but without territory or population therein; these states were given full representation in the Confederate Congress throughout the Civil War. The two remaining slave states, Delaware and Maryland, were invited to join the Confederacy, but nothing substantial developed due to intervention by federal troops. The Union and the Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South over four years. Intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 people dead, more than the number of United States military deaths in all other wars combined. The war effectively ended April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House in Virginia. Confederate generals throughout the southern states followed suit, the last surrender on land occurring June 23. Much of the South's infrastructure was destroyed, especially the transportation systems. The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million black slaves were freed. During the Reconstruction era that followed the war, national unity was slowly restored, the national government expanded its power, and civil and political rights were granted to freed black slaves through amendments to the Constitution and federal legislation. Reconstruction and Industrialization WIP Imperialism and the Progressive Era WIP World War I When the war broke out in 1914, the USA decided to be neutral, acknowledging that this war was conflicts between "Old World" powers that had nothing to do with them. The public opinion about the war was often divided as there were many migrants with ties to both sides. However, when the Germans sank Lusitania in 1915, a passenger ship with 159 Americans on board, the United States view of the war began to change. It led to the death of 1,198 innocent passengers, including the American ones, so when the United States finally entered the war two years later (in 1917), the cry "Remember Lusitania!" was used in the recruitment posters and to unite the people against the German Empire. In January 1917, the British got a secret telegram (known as the "Zimmerman Telegram/Note") sent by German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmerman to the German ambassador to Mexico. Where they proposed Mexico's alliance with Germany against the United States, promising them the possibility of acquiring Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The telegram, along with the continuation of submarine warfare against the United States, was the last straw, as President Woodrow Wilson delivered a speech to Congress on April 2, 1917, asking them to declare war on Germany[3]. They also said in their speech that the United States would go to war for "Fighting For The Ultimate Peace Of The World." On April 6, 1917, the United States formally declared war over the German Empire. The United States military in was under the command of General John J. Pershing, and at first,they had a few trained troops to send to Europe, though, the Army was quickly built up by project as well as the volunteers. Near the end of the war, there were nearly 2 million American soldiers in France. Thanks to the arrival of the American forces at the right time. The course of the war was diverted in favor of the Allies. Both sides were exhausted and running out of soldiers, but the influx of new forces helped to boost the morale of the Allies and played a crucial role in defeating the German Empire. After entering the war, President Wilson issued their fourteen famous points. These points were their plans for peace and the goals of the United States in entering the war. They were the only leader who publicly announced their goals in this war. Their fourteen points were included in the founding of the League of Nations that they hoped would help to end the war in the future. After defeating the German Empire, President Wilson pressed their fourteen points for the rest of Europe and the Allies to follow. They wanted all of Europe to recover quickly from the war, including the German Empire, after which both France and the United Kingdom differed and then put severe reparations over the German Empire in the Treaty of Versailles, the United States didn't sign it, but they established their own peace treaty with the Weimar Republic in 1921.[4] Interwar Period WIP After the end of World War I, there was not much industrial innovation. On Tuesday October 29, 1929, also known as Black Tuesday, the stock market crashed causing most to all major banks to loose money and go bankrupt. This was the start of the Great Depression. With the stocks being at the lowest ever at the time. World War II When the war started in 1939, the United States was careful to avoid involvement. However, the nation decided to declare war after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The US joined the Allies and quickly gathered up a large military to fight in the war, where it would send troops to all theatres of the war, from the Pacific to Europe to Africa. On June 6, 1944, Operation Overlord started, also known as D-Day. It is the most significant landing in history, and the United States was a major part of it. From December 16, 1944 - January 25, 1945, was the battle of the bulge a significant fight that the United States was a part of. In 1945, an atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 9, 3 days, later another Atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, putting an end to the war. Cold War WIP Modern Era Oklahoma City bombing WARNING: This section talks about a sensitive topic! On April 19, 1995, a bomb was detonated next to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, causing 169 casualties. The bomb was planted by Timothy McVeigh in a rented moving truck, and Terry Nichols, Who helped him build it. McVeigh was later arrested in a car pulled over by a sheriff for no license plate and arrested for possession of a weapon. Nichols was also arrested. McVeigh got a death sentence, and Nichols got a life sentence in jail. September 11, 2001 WARNING: This section talks about a sensitive topic! On September 11, 2001, Which today is considered the most deadly terrorist attack in the twenty-first century, with more deaths, not only in the US; but in the world. (2,996 people died, not including all the firefighters that died from cancer/radiation from the debris of the two towers and Pentagon.) This incident is triggered by a terrorist organization, Al-Qaeda, for which Osama bin Laden takes responsibility. Two Boeing 767's hit the north tower (American Airlines Flight 11 Tail Number: N334AA), and the south tower (United Airlines Flight 175 Tail Number: N612UA), and two Boeing 757's were also hijacked. One hit the Pentagon (American Airlines Flight 77 Tail Number: N644AA), and one was successfully retaken by the passengers (United Airlines Flight 93 Tail Number: N591UA). The one that was taken back by the passengers was supposed to hit the White House; the passengers took back the plane and crashed in a field near Diamond T. Mine (a coal mine) in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The only evidence of them taking back the plane was from the black box. (There were no survivors.) Politics Government "The Constitution of the United States divides the federal government into three branches to make sure no individual or group will have too much power: Legislative—Makes laws (Congress, comprised of the House of Representatives and Senate) Executive—Carries out laws (president, vice president, Cabinet, most federal agencies) Judicial—Evaluates laws (Supreme Court and other courts) Each branch of government can change acts of the other branches: The president can veto legislation created by Congress and nominates heads of federal agencies. Congress confirms or rejects the president's nominees and can remove the president from office in exceptional circumstances. The Justices of the Supreme Court, who can overturn unconstitutional laws, are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. This ability of each branch to respond to the actions of the other branches is called the system of checks and balances." [5] The Executive Branch consists of the President of the United States, the Vice President, and their cabinet. They are the branch that can create laws, which would pass to the Legislative Branch. The President is the head of state, the government, and the commander in chief for the United States Armed Forces, they have a maximum of two terms, which includes 4 years each. The Legislative Branch is the branch the gets to pass the laws coming from the Executive Branch, they also have the power to accept or deny the nominee to be the head of federal agencies, judges, or the Supreme Court, and has the power to declare war. The Judicial Branch is responsible to interpret laws and see if the law(s) violates the Constitution. They are made of the Supreme Court and many other federal courts, the Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and six associate justices. The Justices have no fixed term and can serve as long as they want until they either die, retire, or remove in other circumstances. Diplomacy Brazil Brazil-United States relations have a long history, characterized by some moments of a remarkable convergence of interests but also by sporadic and critical divergences on sensitive international issues. The United States has increasingly regarded Brazil as a significant power, especially in its role as a stabilizing force and skillful interlocutor in . As a significant political and economic power, Brazil has traditionally preferred to cooperate with the United States on specific issues rather than seeking to develop an all-encompassing, privileged relationship with the United States. China The United States Department of State tries to maintain the interests of the Chinese public and its government. However, they try their best to get China to stop international law abuses to get into a compromise with the two.[6] 1971 and 1979, the United States did not recognize the legitimacy of the PRC government and supported Taiwan. Public signs of relations with the PRC and the USA started around 1971, with the Ping-Pong diplomacy, where China's ping-pong team invited the U.S. ping-pong team. The United Nations would soon replace the ROC with the PRC within the same year. It wasn't until 1979 that the United States would stop officially recognizing Taiwan and support the One China Policy. However, relations within the unofficial level would still continue for the United States and Taiwan. Their ties would soon be shaken throughout the Belgrade Bombing (as an accident), with the United States apologizing for the mistake, but Chinese protesters dismissed the apology and vandalized American official property in China. Since 2000, the United States and China are starting normalize trading relations, in 2006, China became the second-largest trading partner after Canada. China would also surpass Japan to become the biggest foreign creditor, which means the United States has to return the debt to China at some point. [7] United Kingdom After the American Revolution had ended, Great Britain did establish relations with the United States. The relations broke when the War of 1812 came to be and declared war on the United Kingdom, but their diplomatic relations would soon be reestablished in 1815. The United States considers the United Kingdom as a close ally, ever since 1815, their bond only gets closer between these two.[8] Visits are very common between these two. Public Views The People of the United States like the democracy in the nation, but a low percentage suggests that the majority of the people aren't satisfied enough with their democracy. Most Americans also oppose Presidents getting more power, as it is considered "too risky" to give them more power to solve the nation's domestic problems. About a third of the country knows that what president is currently serving can make a big difference in their personal lives, whether it be in a good or bad way. Many people have a more favorable opinion towards local politics than national politics, as local politics can help certain problems within their area, and also have much more quality with the candidates than on the candidates for federal elections.[4 Views Around The World As much as the United States of America has a lot of diversity inside the country, it also has a lot outside. Many countries see them as too power-hungry, crazy, and almost like Adolf Hitler, trying to take over the world. They are also criticized because of the fact that the gap in the public restrooms are so big. The United States is composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions. At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million kilometre 2), the United States is the world's third or fourth-largest country by total area and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe's 3.9 million square miles (10.1 million kilometer 2 (in).
