Why is America a country without history?

1, the formation of the American nation is relatively late.

When the East and the West basically formed some unified nation-states, the American nation could no longer find its shadow. The formation of this nation originated from the immigration tide after the era of great navigation, and many people immigrated to North America to gradually form such a nation. In contrast, other ethnic groups have long existed. The Chinese nation has 5000 years.

2. Territorial issues and the inheritance of civilization

The people who once lived here are indigenous Indians and have their own traditional culture. Immigrants (colonists) brutally destroyed Indian civilization in order to open up living space for themselves. Judging from the continuation of civilization in North America, the United States can be said to be a country without history.

3. National culture

American culture is also mostly the product of the intersection of western European cultures, because immigrants are British, French and so on. In fact, the United States is the product of this multicultural intersection. You can also find many traces from it now.

Pre-founding period

1, pre-colonial era

More than 20,000 years ago, a group of vagrants from Asia came to Central and South America through North America. These people are the ancestors of Indians. When Columbus discovered the New World, about 20 million Indians lived in America, of which about 1 10,000 lived in Canada and north-central America, and most of the rest lived in Mexico and South America today.

Another group of Asians moved to the northern part of North America, which became the Eskimos. The first white people to come to America may be vikings. They are a group of adventurous fishermen. Some people think that they have been to the east coast of North America before 1000 years.

2, the colonial era

16-18th century, European powers established colonies in North America. The French established new France (including the lower reaches of the St. Lawrence River and the Mississippi River); The Spanish established the new Spain (including Mexico and a large area in the southwestern United States).

/kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, Britain began to immigrate to North America. The first North American immigrants were mainly farmers who lost their land, hardworking workers and Puritans who were persecuted by religion.
