BACKGROUND
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 economy is marked by steady
growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid
advances in technology.
