The United States declared its independence from Britain in 1776, after it gained its independence, it fought hardly to emerge as a power, but its progress was hampered because the French, their allies in the Revolutionary War, refused to sell them the territory of Louisiana and engaged in trade rarely. The US was forced to become self-sufficient for the first years of its existence. It bought the territories of Florida and Oregon from Spain and then claimed the Indiana territories as two new states. The Maritime Colonies of Canada decided to join the United States since they were surrounded by hostile French forces. Oregon is formally admitted as a state and soon after the USA annexed Hawaii as their 20th state. After Hawaii was annexed, Spain sold Cuba to the US and Mexico, and Eastern Cuba became the 21st state of the USA.
