The USA as a country as an independent state was formed at the end of the 18th century, i.e. it has a very short history. Geographically, the USA was located across the ocean, far from the center of world historically significant events - Europe. It was formed of enterprising people who had been cramped in Europe for several centuries. And because of this, the intensity of the colonies' development in all aspects of human activity. The USA could become one of the many Spanish, French and other European colonies to break away from the metropolises. Nothing more. But apparently, the colonists were more nuclear. And by the beginning of the 20th century the USA already had a huge potential of influence on all events in the world and, first of all, of destructive nature. World War 1! A coup in Muscovy. And how did it end catastrophically for the world?!
