Country History
CIA World Factbook: 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.
