Features: The United States is the United States not only because of its political achievements but also because of its diverse cultural spirit. In this 21st century, although American power faces challenges, it still leads the world. Therefore, to enhance one's international perspective and competitiveness, understanding the United States is urgent. Studying this book will help with "looking at the world" and "expecting the future." The United States rose in the 18th century and developed in the 20th century. Despite the heavy blow from the "September 11th attacks," as a giant in the world, it still has its admirable aspects. Among them, the praised cultural achievements are its spirit of "democracy" and "equality" and the prosperous life it has created. The development of the United States is different from other countries; it has reliable defense security and rapid national development. From a historical perspective, it is a country composed of immigrants, forming the issue of coexisting diverse cultures, which also constitutes the mainstream thought of today's "globalization." This book uses time as the longitude and events as the latitude, breaking away from the traditional writing style that emphasizes politics, while covering political, social, and cultural aspects. The content includes important events in American history such as Native Americans, European immigrants coming one after another, the British colony surpassing others, the United States seeking independence, the Revolutionary War, the establishment of the federal government, partisan politics, early diplomacy, nationalism, democratic society, territorial expansion, the Civil War, industrial growth, westward expansion, the Spanish-American War, the Progressive Movement, Theodore Roosevelt, involvement in World War I, Republican governance, the Great Depression, participation in World War II, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the alternation of the two parties, and multiculturalism. This book presents the transformation of the United States' international status and various aspects of American society. Reading this book will allow you to gain an in-depth understanding of the United States.
