History

America was first colonized by Spain in the 1500s, and it established their base in Florida. The population, however, got devastated in the 1600s following a smallpox epidemic. In the same century, slaves were brought here from Africa. Come the 1700s, Britain got control of American territories. Later, the American Revolution began which ultimately forced Great Britain to acknowledge American Independence by the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The constitution for the States was ratified and George Washington was elected the first President. Later on, slavery was prohibited with appropriate amendments in the American Constitution.

The two World Wars are the highlights of the American history in the 20th century. In the first one, the US joined the war by declaring war on Germany and in the second, it dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.

In 2001, the USA suffered a major blow as its two buildings - the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were hit by a hijacked aircraft. This led the USA to launch operations in Afghanistan to find Osama Bin Laden, the founder of Al-Qaeda, and defeat the Taliban.
