Write-up:-
Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation-state.

The fifty United States make up the fourth largest country in the world, both in area and in population. The country's 3,618,770 square miles (9,372,614 sq. km) span six time zones and a wide diversity of geography and climate. From the woods of Maine to the mountains of California, from arctic Alaska to tropical Hawaii, almost 250,000,000 Americans form a colorful kaleidoscope of cultures.
Each standard time zone is about 900 miles (1,450 km) wide. Time zones are based on a system that uses lines of longitude as borders. But, the borders bend or zigzag so that neighboring areas can share the same time.

The United States of America is a federal republic composed of 50 states, of which all except one - Hawaii islands - are in mainland America.
The United States of America, which covers the central part of North America, grew out of the British colonies that were established in the north America in the first half of the 17th
century. The declaration of independence of the 13 states of which the American union then consisted was adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776.
USA's participation in the First World War and the victory of the Allies made it a world power. The end of the Second World War saw the emergence of USA as one of the super powers of the world. with the break up of U.S.S.R in 1991, it has now become the only super power.
The Union originally comprised 13 states, to which 7 were added subsequently. Thirty other states, which were formerly territories, were also admitted in to the union as full states, thus making up 50 states in all, apart from the District of Columbia. each state has its own constitution. The State constitutions provide for a legislature of two Houses, (except Nebraska which has only one House) a Governor and a judicial system of its own. The state governments can deal with all matters which are not reserved for the federal legislature. |
