The United States of America - Evolution on a map 

+

They missing the Civil War

Japan has not really changed its borders, but I will look at China and Turkey with pleasure

​@@Mihail596Japan's expansion was actually similar to America's if you start pre-colonization

@@Mihail596 Japan's borders today may be mostly the same as in 1800 but Japan has had an interesting evolution of territory during the late colonial era.

Turkiye, you mean. also means end of turkey and turkey puns

Also the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 settled the Maine/Canada border. you missed that.

And purchase of USVI from Denmark 1917

And the civil war

And Liberia

Agreed!

annexation of the rest of north america

Annexation of Canada🤞

Maybe some of the land in the south of the USA could go back to Mexico since there's still lots of Spanish speakers there.

​@yougoslavia because more and more Spanish women stays in USA for lots and lots of years that more Mexican/Spanish babies being born

@@fredericoduvel3092 Never gonna happen. Annexation of Canada means declaration of war on Britain, Australia and new Zealand and 14 other British dominion territories.

Same bring him back

Small they are labeled there in the circles. It’s just they’re so small when the map is zoomed out you can’t see them.

They missed some (Guam, N. Marianas) and should have kept them circled for clarity.

Guam was circled beside the Philippines

done in slower speed so ppl could absorbed it.

Well people only want to pay attention to winners 🥇 🤭

Don't forget the islands they also sold to Germany in 1898. Palau, Carolines, Northern Marianas.

Your ancestors were held responsible for the establishment of one of the oldest railway companies here in Southeast Asia, the Ferrocarril de Manila-Dagupan and during American Colonization it became Manila Railroad Company and then on 1964 it became Philippine National Railway. During the last years of Spanish colonization the philippine railways stretches for thousands of kilometres but 2 to 3 deacdes after it deteriorates, ranging from abandonment to selling of the railway assets and defunct lines. Now from thousands of kilometers it became just 500-800km. Fortunately our government is having aproject to revive some of the old railway lines established by the Former spanish government

It was founded by the Dutch long before this starts with the birth of the United States in 1776.

France Through Napoleon acquired Louisiana from Spain in 1800 and took possession in 1802. He wanted to rebuild but couldn't, did not want it to fall to British, so he sold it to USA.

You shouldn't be

Native American?

​@@Hex___666eh, every country has a dark past. Not every country has helped save the world tho. And not every country has ended the cycle of multi continental war through inventing a weapon strong enough to make nations stop fighting.

Where at least I know I’m free

Bro proud of being a fascist

Now nothing much has changed, Japan is still under the strong influence of the United States as well as Korea

That's just silly. Why not throw in Europe under the Marshall plan, or Eastern Europe after 1989 with NATO?

@@grizwoldphantasia5005 Europe wasn't literally leaded by a US Commander lol. Japan was under administrative and burocratic control of the US for a a short period of time after WW2.

Look again.

@@grizwoldphantasia5005 should be a black circle until the end

Average American

Imagine losing the civil war.

Yea

It’s not they got there indpunt on 1836 that’s there boder

It was never a territory.

What about it?

I can't stand them... but they deserved a (not so honorable) mention.

@@jonjeskie5234 Can you stand all the crime that is happening right now? That wasn´t happening in those times?

@@PROVOCATEURSK enslaving some 15% of the population was the largest crime in US history.

The US never recognized the secession of those states and they were unsuccessful at breaking away, so they were still part of the US all along, though a cross hatched area for a few years would have been a good idea for clarity.

Thai-one?

Europe

Not ending dictatorships since 1945.

@@PROVOCATEURSKexactly your democracy is a lie…
