United States

The United States, officially the United States of America, is a country in North America with 48 states (as opposed to 50 like irl, Hawaii got independence and Alaska remained a territory)

## History

### Revolutionary Wars

Before independence, the United States were 13 colonies in North America, owned by England. In 1776, the Americans rebelled against the London government, and declared independence as a Republic. They were originally going to be an independent Kingdom, but the person they wanted to be King, George Washington, didn't want to be leader, so they made a Republic and elected him, so he was sort of forced to be President.

### Manifest Destiny

In the 1800s, America expanded greatly, conquering a big chunk of the North American continent, along with Hawaii, until it achieved it's independence from the US in 1937.

### The First Civil war

From 1861-1865, the southern states attempted to succeed from the US and make their own totalitarian slave state. President Lincoln and the Union army defeated the Confederacy, and the US was unionized better than ever before.

### Post civil war and neutrality in the Great War

The Civil War required much construction after it's end. It took a couple decades, but finally, the United States was reconstructed, and declared neutrality in the Great War. They thought about joining the Entente, but by 1917, the Central Powers were firmly winning the war, so Congress didn't want to risk it, despite President Wilson wanting to.

### The second Civil War

In 1938, America found itself in another civil war against President Huey Long, the Syndicalists in the Great Lakes, the Pacific States, and New England, a 5-Way civil War. In the end, New England remained independent for a few years, until reannexation, but the Union won again with Douglas MacArthur becoming the new President of the United States. He was sort of a "dictator" but not in the traditional sense, he ruled benevolently. After the war, the US joined the Pact of Tokyo. During this, a propaganda character was created from a soldier who got a super soldier serum named Steve Rogers, known as Captain America. However, in 1946, Captain America was encased in ice.

### Modern America

America remained a bastion of Democracy, and is the strongest nation in the Americas, despite being weaker than nations such as Germany and Russia the US still dominates the Americas. In 2012, Captain America was found in the ice by the superhero team The Avengers, and joined the Avengers. Captain America went on to be elected President of the United States in 2020.
