And when those soldiers won the struggle against Spain in Cuba, they could never have dreamed that later in the century, Cuba itself would turn against them and become the single greatest threat of nuclear annihilation during the Cold War. <br> <br>When the Wright Brothers first took to the air and Thomas Edison made the lightbulb, they could never have dreamed that American innovation would produce not only the Ford car, basketball, the telephone, and Facebook, but it would also be instrumental in creating the atomic bombs that killed hundreds of thousands of people and finally brought an end to the Second World War. As for Martin Luther King, Jr., he did dream. He had a dream of equality and brotherhood, and his dream at least partially came true in 2008 when America saw the inauguration of its first black president. Never could the slaves of the great plantations of the South have dreamed that that day would ever come, but it did. <br> <br>Nobody could have dreamed it, but it all came to pass, and it became the history of the United States of America. And this is how it all happened... <br> <br><b>In <i>The History of the United States: A Captivating Guide to American History, Including Events Such as the American Revolution, French and Indian War, Boston Tea Party, Pearl Harbor, and the Gulf War</i>, you will discover topics such as</b> <br><ul><li>The People Who Were There First</li><li>A Time of Exploration</li><li>Colonizing America</li><li>The French and Indian War</li><li>The Boston Tea Party</li><li>The American Revolution</li><li>The First President</li><li>Restless Times</li><li>Horrors for the Natives</li><li>Awakening</li><li>Civil War</li><li>Seeking for Peace</li><li>A Rising Power</li><li>Progress</li><li>Disaster Strikes</li><li>The Biggest Bomb in the World</li><li>Icy Tension</li><li>Freedom on the Home Front</li><li>Terror and Its War</li><li>And much, much more!</li></ul><b>So if you want to learn more about the history of the United States, then sc
