America History in Short

You can even understand girls understanding America is tough.Lets try to understand America.

America

It all started when Columbus started his journey to China, Japan and found a new land on his way and named it America in 1492.Near by countries Spain and Portugal started occupying these empty lands. Those days Pope was considered God to entire world. He divided America to North America and gave it to Spain and South America to Portugal. Later England, Holland and France entered these lands and stayed for very long period. British people who stayed there for two generations felt they are no more Britain and fought freedom from their own country. These British colonies that fought freedom from Britain together called as AMERICA.


George Washington (The First President 1789-97)

Americans (British colony people) freedom struggle was not that easy. It was a big war. France, Russia, Sweden, Denmark helped Americans in this war. George Washington led the Military troop for freedom fight against Britain. His leadership qualities and the techniques he used in war helped Americans win this big war. War ended in 1783.After freedom Washington declared America a democratic country and left to his native place and continued his business. Seven Presidents ruled free America before Washington (Those days President period is 1 year). People dint like any of these Presidents and brought back Washington and made him President in 1789.Americans dint like the first seven President, so they removed the total history of them and called GEORGE WASHINGTON FIRST PRESIDENT.

Blacks

We saw lot of British people came to America and later got freedom from British. These migrated British people are very rich and they came to use the rich American lands for their business. For their business they needed millions of poor labors which is not there in newly found country, so they imported millions and millions of people from Africa who are called BLACKS.

Abraham Lincoln (President 1861 – 65)

We know about the White – Black problem in America and Lincoln ended it. It was not easy for him to achieve it. He needs to face a huge American civil war in ending slavery. America divided in to North (Lincoln supporters who wants to end slavery) and South colonies (Against Lincoln who needs slave) at that time. So war started between these two colonies, which lasted for 4 years. Machines guns, Tanks and other advanced war weapons were introduced in this war. Lincoln army won the war in 1865 and freed black people in America and in the same years he was assassinated, which ended the history of great man ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

First World War

America concentrated more on their economic growth after the civil war and become a developed rich nation in the early 20th century. World war was triggered on Aug 1914 when 20 years old Serbian King was assassinated and Austria and Serbia announced war on each other. Austria got support from Germany and Serbia from Russia (Russia doesn’t like Germany so they supported Serbia). Later many countries joined this war, as there were lots of land and ego problems between European countries and made it a first world war.

Set 1 – Serbia + Russia + France + Britain + China + Japan + Rumania +Italy
Set 2 – Austria + Germany + Turkey + Bulgaria.

On the East Germany won the battle against Russia and captured Serbia. On the other side when German Submarines attacked British war ships it also attacked American ships, which was supplying weapons for Britain and France. This made Americans enter the First World War on April 1917.Till that Americans were doing Business by supplying food, weapons, money to War nations). American and British forces together attacked German forces and captured them and ended the war in 1918.America played a major role to end the war and at the end of the war American President Wilson issued his Fourteen Points and shaped Treaty of Versailles (Peace contracts) and made all countries to join it which gave a Gentleman image to America. America made Business, made millions of money, also with Gentleman image ended the FIRST WORLD WAR

The Great Crash

Americans collected the millions and millions of money, food and weapons they supplied to Britain and other nations with huge interest after the war. Americans also started their business in all these nations after the war. It was only up arrow in the growth graph of America till this happened. In 1929 entire American Share Market crashed. Americans are more interested in Shares; almost every citizen invests in shares. Everyone lost money and the impact of the crash lasted 10 years. It was only down arrow in Growth graph of America after THE GREAT CRASH.

The Great Comeback

Most of the citizens in America lost their money and job. Then came Franklin D Roosevelt.When everyone lost their hope of survival Roosevelt brought a scheme, which says “Don’t look for job but create your own job”. Lay a road, build a park, bridge etc and get the money from government. After this people started working harder than ever before. Americans and America made THE GREAT COMEBACK

Second World War

Americans, Britain doesn’t like Russia in late 1930, as Russia was a superpower and communist country. Americans want to destroy Russia but doesn’t want to do it directly. Americans encouraged Germany, Japan to start a war on Russia by providing millions of weapons.

Before War:
Set 1 – America + British + Germany + Japan +France
Set 2 – Russia.

World war started with German invasion of Poland with the intension of capturing entire Europe. German Air force and Military force was the biggest in the world during that period. Very soon Hitler captured Poland, Norway, Belgium, Denmark that were not part of plan set by America. In 1940 Germany announced war on Britain and France after which America understood Hitler motive was to capture the World and not just Russia. Since Britain and France are strong force to defeat Hitler had a plan in place. Hitler announced their first target as Britain and marched its troop to Britain army. In parallel Hitler sent his friend Mussolini army (Italy army) to France without any announcement.
France lost to Italy on the sudden attack and France was divided between Germany and Italy. On the other side surprise military strikes conducted by the Japanese navy against the United States' naval base at Pearl Harbor resulted in America entering World war.

Set 1(Allies powers) –Big three (USA+USSR+UK) + France + China + (Other small nations like Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Ethiopia, Greece, India, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippine Commonwealth, Poland, the Union of South Africa, and Yugoslavia)
Set 2(Axis Powers) – Germany +German Conquered Axis countries (large part of Europe and Africa) + Japan +Japan conquered Burma, Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, Singapore+ Italy

After American entry Big Three dominated the war and surrounded Germany on three sides. Big three decided to capture Germany first and then Japan. In 1945 April 12, U.S. President Roosevelt died; Harry Truman succeeded him. Italian partisans killed Benito Mussolini on April 28. German forces surrendered in Italy on April 29. Hitler committed suicide on April 30.On May 8 German forces surrendered totally to Russia.
That was the end of Germany. Now focus on Japan.

On July 11 America reiterated the demand for unconditional surrender of all Japanese forces. When Japan rejected it, America dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in early August. On August 15, 1945 Japan surrendered, ending the SECOND WORLD WAR.
