Located in North America, the United States consists of 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five major territories. Its total land area makes it one of the largest countries in the world. It shares its northern border with Canada and its southern border with Mexico.
The first people migrated from Siberia to North America over 12,000 years ago. These Native Americans lived in seclusion from the European and Asian continents until the 16th century. Explorers from Europe began to colonize the eastern coast of North America in the 1500's. Disputes between the English settlers and Great Britain led to the American Revolutionary War in 1775. Great Britain lost the war and the nation gained its independence.
The US began expanding its territoy to the west in the 1800's. Many Native Americans were killed and displaced as new states were added. Slavery was legal in the southern states and its continued use divided the nation. It wasn't until the end of the American Civil War in 1865 that it would be abolished.
The Spanish-American War, World War I, and the outcome of World War II helped propel the United States into the world superpower that it is today. The country is a highly developed nation and one of the largest economies in the world. It ranks highly in quality of life, education, and human rights although inequality related to race, wealth, and income continues to be a problem today.
