The United States of America is a large, powerful country in North America. After losing to the CSA, French and British in the War for Southern Independence in 1864, The US was forced to concede independence to the Confederate States of America and give up the former border states as well as its capital, Washington, DC. The US eventually established close ties with its former rebels and the two became close allies. After WWII and the Cold War, the United States eventually grew to become a major world power and perhaps the strongest country in the world. Back to:
