The United States is a wild land. How can it dominate the world for more than 200 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

The United States is short for the United States of America. Originally a wasteland, it was a settlement of Indians. /kloc-At the end of 0/5, Spain, Holland, France and Britain immigrated here. In this process, Britain gradually won, and established 13 British North American colony on the Atlantic coast of the United States before18th century. 1775, the American War of Independence broke out against British colonial rule, and the Declaration of Independence was issued on July 4, 1976. At this point, the United States of America was formally established.

By 1945, the United States began to dominate the world order and actually dominated the world. At this time, the United States was founded less than 170 years ago, and at this time the Soviet Union was the rival for hegemony. By the end of 199 1, this rival had collapsed, and the United States had become the only superpower in name only, and no country could shake its hegemonic position. At this time, the United States established 2 15. It can be said that the United States has created a miracle of dominating the world since its own country in human history.

Then, how did the United States become a superpower from a wild land and dominate the world in just about 200 years?

Superior geographical location-a stable back garden with one river, two oceans and five lakes

As we all know, the original United States was only 13 States in North America. Later, through continuous expansion and spending money to buy land, we got today's territory of 9.37 million square kilometers.

A bird's eye view of the vast land of the United States, the Mississippi River runs through the north and south. After years of elutriation, the United States has a vast plain and laid the foundation for agricultural development, so the United States has always been known for exporting agricultural products. The world-famous Great Lakes span North America, which makes the United States rich in fresh water resources and provides industrial water for the establishment of a huge industrial park in the United States.

The Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean embrace the United States from both sides, making it a country with extremely rich marine resources, which is unparalleled in Europe and Asia, and has brought considerable import and export trade income. Moreover, there are many coastal plains in the United States, which are convenient for farming, population living and various industrial development. It is precisely because of the two oceans that the United States has stayed away from the two world wars and enjoyed the war dividend.

Moreover, most of America where the United States is located is in the Western Hemisphere. Several countries, such as Canada in the western hemisphere and Brazil in South America, followed closely the United States. Even countries with bad relations can hardly threaten the United States. Therefore, the United States is recognized by the world as the "natural back garden" of the United States. Like European powers or some Asian countries, the United States rarely fights.

Rare Development Opportunities —— Three Industrial Revolutions

As we all know, Britain took the lead in launching the first industrial revolution in the 1960s. This complex relationship between Britain and the United States is naturally deeply influenced by Britain. American Fulton successfully developed a steam-powered ship in 1807. Moreover, the industrial revolution in the United States has its advantages of rich resources and broad market. Moreover, there are few wars in China, and at the same time, the immigration policy is loose, and a large number of immigrants flood in, and advanced technology also follows.

/kloc-In the middle of the 0/9th century, shortly after the first industrial revolution in the United States was basically completed, the second industrial revolution came, and the United States successfully led the industrial revolution. In the first industrial revolution, science and technology and economy basically developed rapidly, and at the same time, they also participated in the actions of the great powers to carve up the world. Because the United States has a superior geographical position and is far away from those powerful countries, there are fewer direct war conflicts.

After World War II, the United States led the third industrial revolution. New technologies leading the fashion trend, such as atomic energy and electronic computers, have triggered a global scientific and technological revolution. As we all know, the United States was the biggest beneficiary of World War II and occupied the forefront of world science and technology, so it gradually controlled the world with science and technology. Now, both established and emerging technology companies can control some important patents and rely on these patents to cut the wool of other countries and curb the development of science and technology in other countries.

An excellent opportunity to get rich-two world wars

As we all know, the United States was the biggest winner and beneficiary of the two world wars. Although the two world wars have brought unprecedented disasters to all mankind, for the United States, it is through these two wars that the world pattern has been changed and the history of European traditional powers dominating the world has been lifted, and the United States has become the world's first power.

World War I was triggered by newly expanding Germany, and Europe was the main battlefield, so the war could not reach the United States. In this way, the United States could have stood by and not directly participated, but indirectly engaged in some arms business to make some money. However, at the end of the war, the United States jumped out and played a sideline ball in order to share the fruits of the war with the victorious countries.

Twenty years later, World War II broke out again. At first, the United States was ambiguous, and later it was neutral. However, according to the legislation of China, the United States is not allowed to participate in the affairs of any belligerent country, but it not only participates, but also sells war materials and even weapons to belligerents. Moreover, both the Allies and the Axis countries have sold goods. Make a fortune from it and plunder talents and high-end technology.

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and launched a campaign in Southeast Asia. The United States declared war on Japan and joined the anti-fascist alliance. Although it also suffered some losses, compared with the injuries suffered by European countries and China in Asia, the United States only suffered some skin injuries.

Strong expansion foundation-the inflow of top talents in the world

Although the two world wars brought devastating disasters to the whole world, talents and technology were not completely destroyed. Moreover, after two wars, people's hearts are steadfast and stable. As a result, the United States, which has no war in World War II, is relatively stable and has a good scientific research environment, has become the ideal first choice for many scientists to immigrate.

Invisibly, a large number of talents poured into the United States. After World War II, the United States was called the most developed country in the world, so more talents poured into the United States. What gave the United States the right to speak most was its outstanding contribution to the Allies in World War II and the unparalleled strength of other countries after the war, so that the United States naturally became the world hegemon.

In the cold war with the Soviet Union, the United States also became the final winner. First, send troops around the world and establish military bases. Then a series of wars were launched in East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. After that, the Soviet Union was defeated and disintegrated in the Cold War. The United States had the last laugh and became the undisputed hegemon in the world.

Of course, in this process, the United States also kidnapped the world economy with dollar hegemony and attacked any country that tried to shake its dollar hegemony by force, whether it was an enemy or a friend. Anyone who dares to touch the hegemony of the dollar is tantamount to creating the world in the traditional era. The United States is not afraid of debt, because it can let the world pay the bill.

However, in recent years, the priority policy of the United States has been widely opposed by the world, and the prestige and right to speak of the international community have greatly deteriorated. It is easy to quit the league, break the contract and block it. Especially when the epidemic spread, it was selfish, without the responsibility of a big country, and its reputation was greatly reduced. This may be the beginning of its hegemony. Perhaps in the near future, American hegemony will become history.
