For such a young nation, the US's history is rich and vast. Easily mogging the rest of the world. How did they do it?
Because it was constantly expanding westwards across the American frontier, creating new historical moments
>>17275603Literally nothing interesting ever happened in their history. Even their civil war is painfully boring.
>>17275603Soon we will manifest our destiny to the stars.Honestly we should just make Europe a pure vassal area, they're already our bitches but lately they've been getting uppity.
>17275620>Literally nothing interesting ever happened in their history. Even their civil war is painfully boring.The story of Jedediah Smith alone is better than any story from the old world.
>>17275631Literally who?
>>17275603bait
>>17275638>l-literally who an American clerk, transcontinental pioneer, frontiersman, hunter, trapper, author, cartographer, mountain man and explorer of the Rocky Mountains, the Western United States, and the Southwest during the early 19th century.
>>17275650In the intro of Wikipedia article>After his death, Smith and his accomplishments were mostly forgotten by AmericansHe was so unremarkable that even his own countrymen forgot about him.
>>17275603>US's history is rich and vastWeak bait.
>>17275643How else do you attract people to come into a thread on this godforsaken website?
>>17275656And then he was remembered and given the recongition he deserves but even a forgotten American icon like Smith is far more interesting than Sir Doofus Dinkelsmit of Cantonberry who gives a shit England.
>>17275650>an American clerk, transcontinental pioneer, frontiersman, hunter, trapper, author, cartographer, mountain man and explorer of the Rocky Mountains, the Western United States, and the Southwest during the early 19th century.
>>17275668Thanks for the bump. :)
>>17275666Sir Doofus Dinkelsmit of Cantonberry probably made more of an impact on the world by showing up the House of Lords once a year than ever did generic American frontiersman #5 who mapped out a couple rivers and forests.
>>17275688Sir Doofus never survived an encounter with hostile native tribes and even more deadly an encounter with a grizzly bear. He was too busy sitting on his ass whoring himself to death.
>>17275697>native tribes>rich historylol
>>17275603America is easily the most interesting, historically speaking, New World nation around. That said, our history is still short and now that we live in a globalized age we unfortunately won't have much more distinct American history for future generations to ponder most likey. The world is one big country these days.
US is older than most of the states in Europe actually.
>>17275723We live in a globalized *American* age. The history of the contemporary world is now the history of America.
>>17275723Globalization is driven almost 100% by American corporations, and held up by American economic and military hegemony. The rise of rival economic powers like China will effectively end "Globalization" because it will end the universality of American corporate dominance, and create distinct spheres of influence again. American influence can't (and shouldn't) last forever, the rise of new powers is inevitable.
>>17275662If the US's history is not comprised of its ethnic groups' various histories, then the same is true for Europe and Asia.
>>17275760There is no such thing as American corporations anymore. Corporations are fundamentally international. Globalization as a phenomena also predates America, it began occurring in the 1880s, largely due to the British Empire, but rapidly accelerated after WW2 basically completely destroyed the idea of nationalism and protectionism.If anyones responsible for globalization today its probably the Germans.
>>17275603Nation of builders/risk takers/explorers/entrepreneurs/etcGenetically speaking, all the "weirdos"/eccentrics of the old world comes to the US to build their dreams.
>>17275747But their culture is a new one
>>17275792the damn krauts always ruin everything
>>17275603unbridled freedom of speech and capitalismevery other society had an impediment to one of these. Only America had complete freedom from the start on both.
>>17276399No other country has freedom of speech. Just FYI. Only America has it. And we have it because our founders were paranoid of big governments enough so that they deemed it necessary for citizens to be armed themselves to protect against tyranny of the big gov.
>>17275603>How did they do it?by being really fucking big and powerful
>>17275603US history post American Revolution and pre Lincoln's War of unjust Aggression is pure kino.
>>17275603USA was just lucky because Europe destructed itself in WW2. Without WW2, the USA wouldn't be nowhere near where it is now.
>>17278067>t. seething europoor
