United States of America (Joshualexander)

The United States of America, also known as the United States or the USA is a country primarily located in North America. It borders Mexico to the south and Canada in the north. The United States is known for being one of the powerful countries in history and has the largest GDP in history with 25.43 trillion dollars. With a population of 337.96 million people, it is the 3rd most populated behind China and India and is the 4th largest country in history. Its current president is Joe Biden, and the capital is Washington, D.C.
Native Americans inhabited most of the land 10,000 years ago with Sioux, Shawnee and Delaware tribes rising in the 1200s. In 1492, Christopher Columbus, a sailor from Genoa, explored the Caribbean Islands and what would become Central America. Soon, many countries then made their claims to the place. Jacques Cartier, John Cabot, and Hernando Cortez claimed parts of North America. Colonies were settled in the East Coast, with these becoming:
* Jamestown (Virginia)
* Plymouth (Massachussets)
* New Amsterdam (New York)
* Baltimore (Maryland)
* Philadelphia (Pennsylvania)
* Savannah (Georgia)
* Charleston (South Carolina)
* Roanoke (North Carolina)
These became the 13 original states. At first, life in the colonies was good and big, but as time passed, the country of Great Britain (which controlled the 13 states) became strict. After the French and Indian War, which let England have New France and doubled the size of Rupert's Land, the place's purchase was a 60-million-pound (13 billion today) cost, which was the entirety of the British Bank at that time. Great Britain then started using the 13 states to have a tax on everything they owned, including tea and stamps, which they boycotted. They ensued a massacre in Boston, a "tea party" (actually throwing the tea) also in Boston, and others. American early silversmith Paul Revere became famous for telling the Americans to stand up and fight the British. One soldier actually did the "Shot heard around the world", which marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. 
More of the people started fighting for the British. The Second Continental Congress was held in Philadelphia, and John Hancock was president in the meeting. There were many changes, with George Washington becoming commander-in-chief. America was just getting started, and America won a ton of battles. However, this was no joke for France, who was Great Britain's long-running enemy. France and Spain jumped into the fray and started attacking the British. With that happening, George Washington was able to focus on winning a ton of battles in the south. In the Battle of Yorktown, George Washington and other French generals surrounded General Cornwallis. The Treaty of Paris was signed, and the American Revolutionary War was over, bang, of course. 
The end of the war brought peace to the United States. Over the years, it made big achievements, especially the War of 1812. When Abraham Lincoln became president, however; the country started crumbling to slavery. The South made their own government known as the Confederate States. The United States became entangled in a 5-year long wretched war with slavery but managed to defeat the CSA and slavery altogether. With Reconstruction being started, the country had advanced. 
Throughout the World Wars, Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, the War on Terror and the 2021 attack on Afghanistan to the present, the United States has significant changes over the years. History would be written and the countries still remains to this day and would later be a set of history. Other historical organizations are the American Red Cross, the YMCA, Tuskegee Institute, and some others. It has a total armed force of 2.079 million armed forces. As the world's sole superpower, it makes up the Big Five of the United Nations Security Council along with China, Russia, the UK and France, it is known to be one of the greatest countries in history and is over 200 years old. Making up more than a third of global military spending, it is the foremost military power in the world and a leading political, cultural, and scientific force. It is the founder and part of the United Nations, NATO, the G20, part of the Five Eyes, G7, the World Health Organization, and the OECD.

=== World War III ===
On October 5, 2027, Joe Biden made the decision to enter World War III and stop Russia. Congress approved his decision after they knew that many people were dying in Europe and Asia. Many people were needed once again for the war, and this time, the military force grew to a whopping 21 million military personnel. Again, like World War II, they introduced ration books, first-aid equipment, and
