The United States became one of the Major forces for the Allies after the liberation of the American states from the Axis, even though the war extended across the planet and later to other worlds, it remained a political entity for many centuries until the (24th century NE) when the USA became one of the founding nations of the United Systems of Earth.

History[]

Native American and European contact[]

In the 1600s, English settlers established colonies on the eastern coast of North America. The New England colonists acquired the moniker, Yankees, a nickname eventually used to refer to Americans in general.

Settlements[]

Independence from the British Empire[]

The "Thirteen Colonies" were the colonial possessions of the Kingdom of Great Britain, situated on the eastern coast of North America, during the early 17th century. Sandwiched between French Canada and the Spanish Main, the Thirteen Colonies represented, for a long time, the entirety of Great Britain's colonial territories.

In 1754, the Seven Years' War erupted in Europe, inevitably leading to conflict between the colonial territories; the French and Indian War. This ended in 1763, and saw the original Thirteen Colonies joined by the newly annexed territories of French Louisiana and Florida.

Great Depression[]

The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930s, beginning in the United States. The timing of the Great Depression varied across the world; in most countries, it started in 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s. It was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. The Great Depression is commonly used as an example of how intensely the global economy can decline.

The Great Depression started in the United States after a major fall in stock prices that began around September 4, 1929, and became worldwide news with the stock market crash of October 29, 1929, (known as Black Tuesday). Between 1929 and 1932, worldwide gross domestic product (GDP) fell by an estimated 15%. This had led to a disadvantage during the Multiverse War until they had managed it slowly push through to recover with the aid of allies to prevent being taken advantage by the enemies such as the Nazis and Japanese Empire.

The most common trait of the Pol Americans was their fierce patriotism, much of the US was entrenched in anti-German and anti-Japanese sentiment which had lasted for most of their Civil War, even go so far as to wanting to wipe out their enemies prior to first contact, the majority of Americans lived in poverty and struggled since the Great Depression, those under the Alliance since earned much more. This is to expected when you are fighting a war against someone. To the 1940s era families, having a car or a large house was considered a luxury, even to be introduced to the advancements of science and technology, they did not consider the thought of alien life until the Great War

Medical Science since first contact with the Alliance greatly changed the US' view of it as well as improvements to help patients such as the cure of diseases and lost limbs, especially to their treatment of psychological patients for how the Humans of the HVF, the United Federation of Planets and the Galactic Republic most greatly disapproved as well as their view that ended in the 1950s pol (1420s).

When they learned of the Federation's dark past and escaped a near-extinction they began to better themselves and understood more of the value of human lives. Exchanging knowledge and technologies from there supporting allies after able to maintain the remaining states from the Axis and greatly improved through rebellion and liberating their conquered states.

Notes[]

  • While there's plenty of things that's similiar with Pol America and other versions of the United States, the most notably differences, aside from slightly faster social equality, is the economic structure of Pol US, specific it being a heavily pro-worker economy and social democracy. Largely due to FDR's continued existence, and the New Deal Coalition continued to exist for well over a century, Pol US has considerably stronger and more robust welfare programs and economic structures that to many other Americans appears socialistic, among them is extensive public healthcare and higher education as well numerous other policies FDR lays out in his "Second Bill of Rights" idea in his 1944 (1415 NE) speech. Evidently this also means Pol US finds itself in the Alliance's left-leaning political camps then it does center or right, though it fundamentally falls squarely on the centre-left.
