The continent was nearly empty. Spread across what is today the US and Canada there were between 1-3 million natives at their population peak, roughly the late 1600s. At the same time the population of just England was 5.2 million. North America was mostly empty land inhabited by a collection of often waring tribes.

​@@lookoutforchris For centuries tribes would be at war, one killing the other. It is well documented in indian war journals and historic documents that when one tribe over took a different tribe, it would kill every last man, woman and child to stop the blood line and keep it from being introduced to their own. By the Indian own rules, the only mistake American's ever committed was to not kill every last indian when we took over the land. Instead we as Americans showed mercy and gave them alternative places to live instead of killing them, which again was their own way of life. Now look at how that has worked out for Americans, nothing but the victim card demanding tax payers money for generations. Indians should have been more grateful they were not beaten by another tribe, or many other countries which would have turned them all into fertilizer long ago.

@Primex Exactly. ismanagement of the rise of Germany by the Brit's and the French, considering close proximity to that new nation proved Catastropic for them And USA keeping clear of that trouble, Secured the future

Insane luck

If your in Europe or even Asia, it’s not possible to invade the usa due to location and those around america simply put not strong enough, even Brazil

Maybe allow your people to be free and the countries growth will 10 fold but most countries are pussies and afraid of its people.

no one will ever be able to invade the United States, on the contrary, it is convenient for the United States to invade other countries. Once a Russian said: "why take over america? if you can just wipe it off the face of the earth?"

@Keshav well, Russia and France were totalitarian empires when they sold Alaska and French Louisiana respectively to the U.S., so i doubt either held Republican ideals.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

To be fair, both Alaska and the Louisiana territory (to a lesser extent) were only relatively lightly inhabited by Russians and French, They were mostly just selling their claim to the lands. The United States after buying them still had to subjugate the natives and develop the land. There are virtually no signs remaining of the Russian colonization of Alaska, and apart from a few place names, the French colonization of the Louisiana territory is only shown in the much smaller land of the state of Louisiana.

And then they found gold and everyone regretted it

Which leaves a lot out and some untruths included . Napoleon did not sell the Louisiana territory because of fear of losing it. Napoleon just lost his most productive colony ( Haiti) which constituted 40% of the French economy. He needed money yo continue his wars in Europe. That was the reason for the sale. So the reason was: The Haitian Revolution.

Or maybe you want to speak about the actual war in witch the Great Armada was involved? Did you know that Spain won that war? And for instance secured its world dominance?Do you know what was the purpose of the Great Armada? Probably not so i will tell you. The Great Armada left Spain's north ports in August 1588 in order to CONQUER England. Bad meteorologic conditions and bad cartography lead to the sinking of plenty of it's ships but the British only manage to sink 1! Spain still managed to win the war and to take it's position as the world superpower it was and to locked it for centuries. So, no, I do not agree at all, Spain was France and England worst nightmare for centuries. Specially England.

They can vote in primary elections but not general elections and congress decides all national matters and can veto their local laws yet these people get not say about who is in congress. Puerto Rico has more people than a lot of states yet when Hurricane María hit our government didn't help them like when Houston was hit by Hurricane Harvey. The UN even keeps a list of territories that are still basically colonies and surprise surprise several US territories are there. These people have US passports can freely move to any US state and have the same rights as us once their in one of the 50 states, but as long as they reside in their territory they're basically a colony with no voting powers.

Quinn Stone Panama is essentially a creation of the US. Colombia refused to make a deal with the US, so the US then financed Panamanian rebels in their fight to secede. They understood this was the US’s intention the moment they accepted their money; it was a business deal.

This was not intentional. He misrepresents by making it appear that they were intentionally slaughtered.
