In the 16th century, during the Age of Discovery, Europeans discovered the New World. As a result, a large number of adventurers, robbers, murderers, scoundrels... Swarming. Everywhere indians were slaughtered, indian lands were seized, the fruits of Indian labor were looted, and the virus of infectious diseases was maliciously spread. The number of Indians soon plummeted to only 1/5 of the original. This is typical of the ugly face of a dove occupying a magpie's nest and renting a house occupying a landlord's property. These people are the ancestors of today's Americans.
These rogue beasts, outlaws, though fierce, unscrupulous, unscrupulous, and unscrupulous in the land of the Indians. But in the eyes of the British aristocracy, the mother country and the suzerainty, pigs and dogs are inferior and only worthy of being slaves. The Maritime and Trade Regulations established by the British Government stipulate. They deserve only one salted fish, and all the rest can only be sold to the UK. They were also not allowed to mint coins locally. They are not allowed to set foot in any manufacturing industry other than flour milling, winemaking, and wax making.
These rogue gamblers and rogue villains are naturally unwilling. So they gathered a group of rabble-rousers and suddenly launched a siege attack on the British troops stationed in North America. At that time, the total British force in the 13 north American states was no more than 6,000 people. The British suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Bunker Hill. In 1776, the British began to increase their troops to North America. Defeated Washington's large army of more than 18,000 men in New York. When Washington withdrew to the Banks of the Delaware River, there were only about 4,000 men, and the entire army was almost destroyed. The Continental Congress elected the young Washington as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, which had little to do with his personal prestige, simply because he was the only militaryly literate member of the independent elite. Moreover, this location was a hot potato at the time. Because everyone knows that the probability of losing is many times greater than the probability of winning. And if it fails, the commander-in-chief will inevitably put on the gallows of the British.
Fortunately, there is no invincible road. The enemy of all enemies is a friend. So the old rivals of the British—France, Spain, and even the Netherlands and Russia—did everything in their power to help Washington. France alone has more than 16,500 direct ground military forces, and the French Royal Navy has reached 75,000 people. The American Revolutionary War was almost fought by the French. Of the three men who signed the surrender, two were French—Lieutenant General Rochambeau of the French Army, Count DeGrass, Vice Admiral of the Navy, and the remaining one was Washington. Even the Treaty of Paris, which ended the War of Independence in 1783, was signed in Paris, France. It is conceivable how much france played in the American Revolutionary War.
After the end of the Revolutionary War, Washington did not transform into ''Washington I'''. Because the United States itself did not dominate the victory or defeat of the War of Independence, there was no political force that established its absolute authority through the war. As a result, there were no single strong politicians. Behind the leaderlessness of American politics is the "dualism" of the American economy. The faction, led by Adams and Hamilton, liked the British royal system and advocated the establishment of a monarchy, finding a pure "blue-blooded nobleman" from Europe to be king. Later, internal opinions were not unified, and they retreated to the second place, advocating the establishment of a strong central government and the implementation of elite politics. The other faction, represented by Jefferson, opposes centralization and advocates strengthening local governments, believing that federalism is best. Washington described himself as a neutral and acted in a slightly federalist style. Hamilton is the Secretary of the Treasury, Jefferson is the Secretary of State, all of them are real power and strength, Washington only has and thin mud, if like Yuan Shikai on the mainland, he wants to be addicted to the emperor, the end will definitely be worse than Yuan Shikai!
Such a political basis was doomed to a subsequent Civil War! In 1860, the total population of the United States was only 31 million, and in the four years of the Civil War, a total of 620,000 people were killed, which is more than the number of deaths in subsequent American wars combined. The efficiency with which the Americans slaughtered their own people was beyond the reach of the later Germans and Japanese. General Sherman carried out a thorough "Three Lights Policy" on the american south, burning and plundering all the way, and everywhere he went, there was scorched earth. Such an extremely cruel and brutal solution, the Japanese devils also sighed to themselves!
By 1863, the obstacle to the power of the farmers in the South had been completely removed. Rapidly carry out the industrialization of the country. By 1890, the U.S. economic crisis had broken out. Germany and Japan, which started at about the same time as the United States, have encountered the same problem. In order to dump products, open up markets, and pass on the economic crisis. The Germans beat up the French in Europe, while the Japanese launched the Sino-Japanese War against China in 1894 and later the Russo-Japanese War.
And Americans are most afraid of the hard battle of sacrificing their lives and gambling on the fortunes of the country. The most hobbies are bullying, bullying the soft and afraid of hard, eating persimmons to pick soft pinches. What they worship most is the law of the jungle and the law of the jungle. So he took his own siblings and attacked the Spaniards in South America.
From the Spaniards to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, Hawaii, the Philippines... After 1898, the Americas truly became the Americas of the Americans, South America became the backyard of the Americans, and the United States enjoyed the resources and markets here.
Later, the United States used the Philippines as a springboard to frantically intervene in Asian affairs, proposing that "the door is open and interests are all involved." Numerous wedges have been laid all over the world.
World War 1 broke out in 1914. In the first three years of the war, the United States remained nominally neutral, but in fact it made a lot of money and made a lot of money. In 1917, the October Revolution in Russia broke out. In March 1918, the Treaty of Brest was concluded with Germany. The balance on the battlefield began to tilt in Germany's favor. Britain and France, on the other hand, owe more than $6 billion in loans to American capitalists and are on the verge of adrift. At this time, both sides were fighting breathlessly, hoarsely, and dying. It's a great time to reap the benefits of the fishermen. The United States declared its entry into the war, and 19 months later, Germany signed an armistice in November 1918, ending World War I.
Since then, the United States has reaped huge dividends. The war led to strong demand. The Great Leap Forward of Industrialization in the United States took off and developed, and the United States ushered in an unprecedented period of prosperity.
After World War I, the United States produced more than 20,000 millionaires. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening. In 1929, a serious economic crisis broke out, and it fell into the famous "Great Depression".
Capitalist developed countries, in order to pass on the crisis and expand the market, the struggle between them has become more and more fierce. The war to redivide the world began – and this was the Second World War. The Americans repeat the same trick, first remaining neutral on the surface, secretly touching fish in muddy waters, taking advantage of the fire to loot, and violently making war money. When the two sides once again fought with both sides, exhausted, and half-dead, the United States once again reaped the benefits of the fishermen. Since then, it has far surpassed Britain, ascended to the position of world hegemony, and become the leading boss of capitalist countries in the Western world!
In fact, the United States has a natural penchant for looting and slaughtering, sitting on the mountain and watching tiger fights, taking advantage of fire and robbery, and touching fish in muddy waters, and has never believed in freedom, democracy, fairness and human rights. It believes only in the law of the jungle and the law of the jungle. Its style of behavior is bullying, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Never dare to gnaw hard bones, dare not bet on the fortunes of the country, and fight with their lives! Even to your own compatriots, your own brothers and sisters, you will not have the slightest mercy!
The United States is a country of immigrants, with a diverse population composition; The disparity between the rich and the poor is enormous; The struggle for various contradictions in the country is complex; Each state has its own military self-respect, much like the feudal division of the tang dynasty on the mainland...
American politicians are very "wise", often talking about "gun ban issues", "abortion issues", "medical reform issues", "racial discrimination issues"... It is even necessary to launch a war of aggression against the outside world in order to divert the fierce class contradiction struggle at home and to cover up the essence of the problem. Sometimes, American politicians will also arbitrarily harvest the blood-and-sweat wealth of plunder and robbery in various parts of the world, give some to the domestic people, alleviate contradictions, and sing praises for themselves and gain political capital.
Once the United States loses the ability to plunder and rob the resources and wealth of other countries, and the United States collapses and disintegrates like the former Soviet Union, it becomes inevitable!
