Over the centuries, the country
expanded its territory, experienced a
civil war, industrialization, and emerged
as one of the world's leading powers,
playing a central role in global politics
and economics. Let’s see more about it
Introduction
The history of the United States began long before the arrival of Europeans,
with the indigenous civilizations that inhabited the continent for thousands of
years. Peoples such as the Navajo, Sioux, Cherokee, and Iroquois developed
complex cultures with well-established social and economic systems.
before the europeans
The Navajo are an indigenous people
who live in the four corners region
of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico
The Sioux spans the states of North
and South Dakota.
The Cherokee are an Iroquois Indian
tribe that inhabited the
southeastern United States.
The Iroquois lived in the Great Lakes
region of Canada and the United
States.
American "discovery”
The navigator Christopher Columbus arrived
on the American continent in 1492, but he
never set foot in what is now the United
States. The first European to explore the
region of the present-day United States was
the Spaniard Juan Ponce de León, who landed
in Florida in 1513.
The Thirteen Colonies and the Founding
of the United States
In 1607, the English founded Jamestown,
Virginia, the first permanent European
settlement in North America. In the years
that followed, other colonies were
established, forming the Thirteen British
Colonies, which grew economically and
politically. However, tensions between the
colonies and England increased
due to British taxes and political
control, leading to the American
Revolution (1775–1783).
the first of many
The first president of the United States was
George Washington, who served from 1789 to
1797. He was a leader of the American
Revolution and commander of the Continental
Army in the fight against the British. After
independence, he helped draft the
Constitution and was unanimously elected as
the country's first president.
The american civil war
The main reason for the conflict was slavery. The
South, whose economy depended on cotton
plantations and slave labor, wanted to maintain
and expand this practice. The North, which was
more industrialized and had an economy based on
free labor, wanted to limit the expansion of slavery
to new territories.
The american civil war
In 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected
president, the situation worsened. He was against
the expansion of slavery, and the Southern states
saw this as a threat. In 1861, eleven Southern
states seceded from the Union and formed the
Confederate States of America, leading to the
outbreak of war.
