The History of America

An outsider’s perspective reveals the United States as a country of unrivalled influence and generosity. It has accomplished exploits that have irrevocably influenced the path of human events in its comparatively limited but storied history. Most significantly, its dramatic World War II action helped to liberate millions of people from the grip of tyranny by overthrowing Adolf Hitler’s evil regime. In addition to serving as a haven on the battlefield, the United States has provided food and shelter to countless people who were fleeing hardship. Its charitable activities go far beyond its national borders; through enormous humanitarian help, it has lessened suffering and aided in the development of nations in remote regions of the world. The country is not without faults; occasionally, its feeling of exceptionalism leads to divisive foreign policy, but overall, the effects of its activities lean strongly in favour of the advancement of humanity. The United States is still a powerful force for good in a complex world. So, for the nation that fought off Hitler’s armies, saved the world, and has generally been a country that has been a source of good more than any other nation in world history, whether you are a smart kid looking for a broad overview of America up to the time of Jimmy Carter or whether you are a curious adult who is just trying to learn more about the history of this country, I hope you enjoy reading this modest effort to summarise 'The History of America.' 6
