United States (HSE)

The United States of America was a former country that occupied the North America from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Coast.

History
The country became independent from Great Britain on July 4, 1776 and soon expanded West, known as Manifest destiny. In the 1860s, it fought a civil war with the Confederate States. The United States became a global power in the end of the 19th century during the Spanish-American War which resulted in American victory. Spain ceded Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines to the U.S. The country also intervened in the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. In 1917, the United States entered World War I on the side of the Allied Powers which resulted in Allied Victory. From 1929 to the rest of the 1930s, the U.S. experienced the Great Depression. The Second World War broke out in 1939 while the United States remained neutral up until December 7, 1941 when Japan attacked the Pacific Fleet in the Territory of Hawaii. Prior to this, President Franklin D. Roosevelt supplied the United Kingdom, the USSR, and China with Lend-Lease aid. The U.S. entered the war in which it alongside the allies emerged victorious against the Axis Powers in 1945. However, tensions with the Soviets rose after the war due to the massive troops the USSR deployed to Eastern Europe that remained after the war. Under Harry Truman and Secretary of State George Marshall, the Marshall Plan was enacted upon the countries affected by the war and communism. A close call in June 1948 known as the Berlin Airlift almost led to Third World War. In August 1949, the USSR detonated its first nuclear weapon.

The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950. The United Nations and the United States intervened on behalf of the South. However, KPA General Choi Yun-Kun requested aid from the USSR and China, finally leading to the Third World War. The massive amount of Red Forces successfully expelled the UN forces out from the Korean Peninsula. The Red naval forces began shelling the allied countries of Japan and the Philippines, followed by an amphibious invasion of the latter. In March 1951, the Soviets nuked Anchorage in the Alaska Territory. This was followed by an invasion of the Trust Territories, Hawaii, and western Canada. The U.S., now without support from its NATO allies, tried to convince them to continue the war during the Montpelier Conference. This failed, as the pro-peace won. The Allies officially ceased hostilities with the Soviets in the Sao Paulo Peace Accords. For the first time in 200 years of military prestige, the United States was humbled and humiliated. A vicious cycle would continue on towards the 1960s to the 1980s in which America tried to badly avenge its losses to no avail. In 1986, after much instability, the states were reorganized and chose to leave the Union. The United States officially disbanded on September 5, 1986, ending its 210 year history with utter humiliation.

The former United States today is divided into several countries. (See: Post-Union States)
