And the Story of Each One

by Fomalhaut16

Summary of the history of the countries. Because history is the story of their lives. One chapter per country. Historical Hetalia.

4. United States of America

Disclaimer: Neither Hetalia nor its characters belong to me; they belong to their author.

This is a 99% historical fanfic. It's basically a summary adapted to Hetalia . If one wants to internalize more about certain topics, I recommend that each one study on their own. Today I bring you: the United States!

.

Clarifications:

I put the United States as the son of England, so that this has more historical coherence, because it is definitely more consistent that he is his son instead of his younger brother.

I will call him the United States and not America so as not to confuse when I speak of the continent America. Also, although we are used to this, it is actually quite strange. Put it this way: There is a country called the United States of Europe (to put something), and people there call themselves European. The confusion would come to do something like this:

-Hey, I'm from Europe.

-That's great, I'm also from Europe, where are you from?

-From Europe.

-Emm yes ... I'm also from Europe. Spain, Europe. ?

-Ah that, I'm from the United States of Europe. I'm European.

-But I'm also European!

See? that's confusing even if we're used to calling it America. Still, it does not bother me to much, notice.

.

-New characters:

- America: I refer to her as the entire American continent; you know "The Americas" and she would be the mother of all Native Americans and of the countries / colonies that the Europeans put there. She is a omnipresent character.

-Lakota: personification of the Native Americans of North America (natives of the territories of the United States and Canada). She is half sister of Alfred on the maternal side).

.

I reiterate, this is a historical fanfic and it is a summary, if one wants to know more deeply about a topic, you should study it on your own.

Enjoy it!

United States of America

The beginning:

In the fifteenth century, europeans "discovered" America. And since because they were as greedy and ambitious as curious, they didn't take long to approach tackle her. Soon, most of America was under Spanish rule, extending from South America to the center of North America. His brother Portugal also began to appropriate certain parts, as well as the ever desiring France, who conquered and founded a colony in the north-east of North America.

In America there were peoples, cultures and nations but all of them succumbed with the time to the Europeans, who, neither more advanced nor superior, their berserk greed crushed them. Many of the Native Americans died shortly after the arrival of the Europeans as the diseases they brought with them spread.

Apart from Spain and Portugal, the Netherlands also took considerable interest in the "New World". Among all this was England, who, in a short time, was beginning to be noticed making it against Spain and competing strongly.

It was difficult for England to find a place to colonize, since France, Spain and Holland already had everything divided and when seeing him interfering, it made things tense. He also had some altercations with France, but even so, the nosy of England found a way to prevail in America. His admired queen, Elizabeth I, finally let the pirate Sir Walter Raleigh takes the initiative to found an English colony in North America. Finally, in 1607, the first successful English colony was produced for the first time, in what is now Virginia.

The colony was very small in its beginnings, but it would become one of the most powerful countries; the one who would be known as the United States was born, although he still didn't have that name. He still did not have any name. He was very small. As soon as he was born, England, his father, tried to take care of him. But England was much inexperienced, very young, and to support his small and weak son was costly at first. But he learned fast, in fact, he realized that it was not very difficult and that it would benefit him.

In his early days, the little one was as naive and innocent as any child, he was still only a small handful of Englishmen trying to live in a new land. But soon he would take personality and define himself forever.

At first, this small English colony was very small but in 1620, a second wave of migrations from England to North America came. These migrations from England were mainly Puritans, Puritans fleeing from the religious persecution in England, and a very significant Christian-Puritan community was founded there, in which were at least 10,000 people. This had a strong impact on the young colony, who was beginning to take shape. These Puritans fleeing from the "Old World" came with a messianic idea, feeling like the chosen people, fleeing persecution, and arriving in a promised land. And soon, as a result of the good harvests they had in their early years, they were finally considered themselves blessed by God over the others. Thus began a messianic idea that would strongly influence the young colony. This was the beginning of what would become, over time, a strong megalomania, because he really considered himself benefited with respect to any other.

But nobody influenced him more than his beloved father. England was his only contact, and everything the United States learned and saw from the world was thanks to England. In summary, his base was due to how he educated him and how he taught him to see the world. The United States, therefore, from his birth as an English colony to the present day, is a derivation of his father, England. But as much as England tried to make him a carbon copy of him, he could never do it completely. The United States could be his son but he was also the son of America, that imposing new land that was violently approached.

In these remote times of his life, walked in the world the famous Pocahontas, a native princess, which the little boy met and lived near her and her people. But he was still too young to have a well-formed opinion of his native brothers; he was still living thanks to his father since he didn't have a fixed and stable economy yet.

England maybe tried to be a good father but he never was. He was not for that. He maltreated the child sometimes and he consented him and never corrected his mistakes, being lenient at all times. But it was not like the child did something that really bothered him. England taught the boy that the world was scarce and hostile, and that to live he must be hostile too. Although the child at first didn't understand these words, England manipulated him well, knowing the child's superiority complex, and told him that he was pure, and that he had an enemy, the natives. Native Americans were his brothers on the mother's side, but from the beginning, England showed him how to end them. This generated a strange feeling in him, an ambivalent feeling that would later become very latent.

Growing in territory, the small United States, watched like his father fought and displaced natives. These times of massacre were as idyllic for the child, who learned how to fight for the first time with his beloved father. Although he was not sure at first, and actually and in fact he was traumatized for life, Engalnd encouraged him with the justification that by doing so, he would grow bigger and stronger, and he would take pride in him. Even so, the little one still remembered that the natives were his brothers, and despite obeying his father he still didn't hate them completely.

The little one was growing; soon there were migrations not only from England but of Ireland. From the first years of his life, the United States had been, for having housed Irish, the favorite nephew of Ireland.

But in addition, England used to see his son not only as such, but as a place where he could send the "unwanted". A large number of criminals were sent to the North American colonies, where they lived there since then.

But for him to really live he need economy, and his economy was based on agriculture, the advice of tobacco, sugar, etc. and for that, manpower was needed. There the famous black slaves were present. A large number of slaves were taken from Africa to America to be slaves on the plantations. As a good son of England he was, from the beginning the young colony professed a strong racism. The strong religiosity that made him add to the influence of England, made the young colony a growing racist, and a growing ignorant. Although in his early days, the United States liked reading, it was rarely a reading that made him think too much. Basically, the small United States was too self-absorbed in those moments that his disinterest in the world around him was justified.

In 1674, Holland was forced to cede his American territory to England and the province of the New Netherlands was renamed New York (formerly New Amsterdam), which became the most important city in the United States since the middle of the 19th century. Many newly arrived immigrants, especially in the south, were hired as servants, so that about two-thirds of all immigrants who arrived in Virginia between 1630 and 1680 worked as servants. By the end of that century, African slaves became the main source of bonded labor. So many slaves were that one in five settlers in the colony was black. People torn from their homes and taken to a distant land to work until death on the plantations. He didn't understand their pain, only saw them as tools for his economy and didin'y considered them part of him.

With the division of the Carolinas in 1729 and the colonization of Georgia in 1732, the Thirteen British Colonies were established, which eventually became the United States of America. And there he obtained for a time a name, the Thirteen Colonies. Although at first he was happy with his condition, he didn't really understand it, and when he did, he would not be so proud of being simply a derivation of his father. But it was missing for all of this.

Thirteen Colonies, over time, had an elected local government, attached to republicanism, in addition to legalizing the slave trade, making his racist and supremacist facet official, although he saw it as something natural (due to his context), and he didn't look himself like a bad person, but as an example so that his father would be proud.

In those times, Thirteen Colonies imitated everything from his father, and he would do it forever.

Big was the influence that England had on his son. And he so admired and loved his father that he completely forgot his mother and his brothers, whom he saw through the eyes of his creator.

But his beloved father was not always with him, although despite himself, Thirteen Colonies had always had the strength to be quite independent when his father, England, was not there.

In one of those trips in which England returned to take care of matters in his home, Thirteen Colonies remained single and one day he met a boy. This was called Davie and since he saw him he didn't stop talking. Thirteen Colonies spent the whole afternoon with him until nightfall arrived. But before leaving, the boy expressed his admiration for a violet flower that he had seen in a book of his house and that, despite looking everywhere, he can never find. Seeing him disappointed, Thirteen Colonies promised to find the flower for him and give it to him. So it was. Thirteen Colonies, when he had the time, he looked for the flower without fatigue, but never found it. When he wanted to tell Davie, he looked older and did not seem to recognize him. Thirteen Colonies believed that it was because he had not found the flower. When his father returned, he told everything to England, and to his surprise and anguish, England confessed that the flower he was looking for was only in his lands, and that he would never find it there. However, he promised to bring them to him. Happy at the news, he went to see Davie to tell him, but when he got home, he only found a man with a girl and a woman, and again impotent, Davie apparently did not recognize him. Without understanding anything, he became sad, until England returned with a bouquet of those longed-for flowers. Overflowing with happiness, he thanked England and went for Davie. However, when he arrived, he was indifferent and sad. All the people there were sad. Doubtful, he handed him the flowers, but the boy took them as if nothing and threw them into a drawer with an old man inside. When he noticed, he soon realized that it was that man was David. The truth fell like a cold flash. He had always known that people came and went like flowers, but he was never more aware of it. A deep anguish and sorrow lashed him, because he had not been able to fulfill his promise, suddenly, he refused to believe it. Someday, he would give the flowers to Davie, one day he would fulfill his promise.

After the Seven Years War, England took Canada from France and took him as an adopted son. It was there when Thirteen Colonies met his twin brother, Canada (formerly New France). When the United States saw him for the first time, he could not help but feel enthusiasm and surprise, it was his brother after all, but he soon became disinterested with him and returned to himself and to get his father's attention. Despite the disinterested relationship with his older twin brother, their destinies were linked for life.

On the days his father left, Thirteen Colonies showed how brave and independent he could be. He had learned to survive and was following his father's advice well. In those times, he and his native brothers had a relationship that was tense and abusive. Thirteen Colonies saw them as a threat, and from time to time their brothers try to kill him, but instead he was always the one who massacred them. Although at that time the natives only assaulted the farms or overwhelmed the forts, still missing for the great struggles that would occur between the American brothers.

The last time England left his son, this one had the appearance of a pre-adolescent child, but when he returned some time later, to his surprise and displeasure, Thirteen Colonies already appeared to be a complete adolescent, which was not good.

By the end of the eighteenth century, Thirteen Colonies had a strong infrastructure. Education, local police and resisted to the natives, sometimes making commercial alliance with them. And for all that, Thirteen Colonies was proud of himself. And proud of his father. But although somewhat ignorant, he had inherited the intelligence of his father England, and soon, suddenly, it did not take him long to notice that he was not equal to his father. He was not like him, or like any other, he was not even like the natives. In a strange moment of observation, he realized that it was a derivation of England and that he lived for him, it was a part of him, but he was nothing apart from him. This didn't like him at all. Looking at his flag, he saw the flag of the United Kingdom on it, and he knew it.

Soon, he wanted to be taken seriously, he considered himself not so young so he started to want to benefit from being in the world. That vast world that he didn't know so much about. Soon, knowing that he was part of the Empire, he was upset for be unworthy of not having a place in the British Parliament, and bothered him enough not to be able to market to anyone but his father. He had wanted to sell his crops also to France or Holland or Spain, but his father had strictly forbidden it. Then he wanted to market at least with his brother colonies, but even that was forbidden. He was monopolized by his father, who bought and sold his products.

But even so, he esteemed his father, and when he returned to him, he hoped that he would listen to his proposals and complaints. Apparently he didn't know England at all.

-War of Independence (1775-1783):

When he was in the presence of England again, Thirteen Colonies exposed his questions calmly expecting a positive reaction from his father but not only was he angry with this but slapped him for even considering it. England forbade him to think about having a free trade with anyone and, seeing the growth of his son, began to treat him much more overprotective, much to his annoyance.

As a punishment, and because he would do it anyway, England imposed large taxes that only caused their relationship to become more tense.

Thirteen Colonies wished to be able to market with others because obviously it was more beneficial to him than to abstain to his father's monopoly, even though he loved him, he soon felt a strong sense of autonomy and national integrity that were the cute ribbons of his true desires, market freely.

On the other hand, England loved his son as he could understand love. For him, Thirteen Colonies, his favorite son, whom he jealously guarded, was a great engine for his economy and therefore, he would never let him get out of hand.

Fed up with the taxes that England imposed on him, the Boston Tea Party occurred, where he, for the first time doing an act of disobedience, intercepted a shipment of tea that was going to the port, proceeding then to throw the load overboard, in order not to pay taxes for it.

Soon, the protests in the colonies became more frequent and significant, believing that his father would end up yielding a little, but soon he knew what he had to do so that he could do what he wanted and be taken into account by his father, he would emancipate completely. Soon, when England considered the protests as a rebellion, he saw his son with a gun in his hand.

The war had begun.

In the Thirteen Colonies the Continental Congress and the Continental Army were formed, which they faced the Red Jacks.

He knew he would face the most powerful nation of the time who had an army of a high professional level. The independentist were essentially farmers and the promoters, men of enterprise (bourgeois) who were the true cause of all this. Being under a monopoly their interests would never be satisfied or benefited.

Putting the veteran George Washington in charge, they began to build their army from the beginning.

Thirteen Colonies had been completely convinced by Benjamin Franklin to rise completely against his father and he would. He was anxious and would not back down, although he was also scared.

On the other hand, the British incurred an excess of confidence that would harm them, since the settlers had an advantage on the land, they had supplies without problems, and the population supported them mainly.

England could not believe it, could not conceive what his son was doing. It did not enter his head, and even then, neither of them would go backwards. England would kill him if he had to, and he would confront his creator for his own interests.

And they fought. Both suffered. People from both sides died and no one would ever remember them. Thirteen Colonies fought with strength and cunning, had learned the frombest, and like every son, wanted to overcome his father. Although at a high price. In the end, he discovered that the war was horrible, but decided to convince himself otherwise.

"The war for freedom", he called it. Although the concept of freedom is very broad and for him at that time, freedom was to market who he wanted, to get involved with who he wanted and to impose his rules. That freedom sought, that of no one else, the release of those who had money and wanted more money.

In the battles, he demonstrated nimbly when he knew and showed his future victory. Once, fighting against his father, England approached him rashly and told him: that he knew more about war than he, he could not match him in that and in the fight, and he defended himself and answered: "Yes, and even then I will win ".

Both fought, and although he surprised his father for his resistance, it was only thanks to the outside help that he finally won.

France and Spain, France especially, in secret, to be against England, helped him by giving them weapons, financing and explaining logistics. He took advantage of this. He did not see any of those nations since when he was very small, when they raised him with his father for land, and now, both helped him against his father, and it made him feel a strange feeling.

In 1776, he ended up defeating England, who would never forget it.

When finally the war was coming to an end, with the obvious victory of the United States, he faced face to face with England, who was devastated, and he felt for the first time in the war, nostalgic for his former protector.

Before giving him the final blow, he asked England for last time for his freedom. But this one stopped, and attacked him denying this completely. He shot him, but he misses the shot. Although it almost gave him. Something the United States does not know, is that England in that shot could have finished him, killed him, disappeared him from of the earth. But he was unable to do it. Something made him change his mind. England missed the shot on purpose. And he lamented on the floor in front of the astonished look of the United States, who could not help but feel sorry. In the background, he and England had an unbreakable bond. He did not hate him at all, and he well knew that this was probably the last time they would fight. But he still had strong anti-British sentiment and left the Englishman. With that, on July 4, 1776 he "emancipated", became independent. He was free to do whatever he wanted. He felt something in his chest, and he knew it, he had changed, he was no longer a colony. Not anymore.

At this, he waited for his father to recognize him, but England didn't appear and locked himself in his home, flatly refusing to accept it. He had lost a part of his empire in the west.

Finally, in 1783 he received a letter from France inviting him to Paris. That was the first time in his life that the United States traveled far from home, and felt a strange feeling to know Europe.

Apparently France had spoken with England and he would take the "honor" of recognizing him as independent. Despite his words, the United States realized that France considered himself superior in seeing him, since he was a derivation anyway. But he didn't care, he wanted his thing and benefit, the rest didn't matter.

On September 3, 1783, an international treaty was signed in Versailles, France, where England recognized the impossibility of conserving his North American colonies and continuing the war, so that he recognized the independence of the colonies.

The United States drafted his first constitution in 1787, and George Washington became his first president.

Even so, he didn't become a democracy. The word democracy is not even in the first pages of the founding fathers. He became a Representative Republic, which is not the same as democracy, they are similar, but not the same. Thus he became a republic and filled with pride.

Obviously, he changed his flag and began to try, like any son renegade with his father, to try to differentiate himself as much as possible from England. It was ironically painful to be confronted when they were so alike. But it was difficult for him, because all he was, was for England, and if he wanted to change everything, it was like ceasing to exist. As much as he wished at that moment to be different from him, he would always look like his father, though in his own way.

Washington was his first president and he adored him. He admired him a lot, but when he found out that he had a black mistress, and a son with her, he felt outraged. He was a cradle racist, and seeing that his presidents might not be so much, it bothered him greatly.

He always tried to hide it, but his beloved Washington was not the only one: President Jefferson and President Tyler also had black lovers and mixed children. This was something that made him feel ambivalent feelings and strangeness. He admired his presidents but he had to live knowing that, and having to do so being so racist was difficult.

The United States was against miscegenation and for blacks to be given Western names and surnames, but the day would come when he would have to face his ills.

-After Independence:

When he became independent, let's say he was a bit indebted. He was also indebted to the Spanish Empire who had also helped him (like France), providing him with weapons, etc. if it had not been for them, in reality he would never have been able to become independent or defeat England, that is the truth.

But the United States realized that the truth was not very attractive or very glorious, so, from that moment, he took the habit of modifying the history a bit to excel him. For history to suit his interests and the way he wants things to be, to lie to himself, in other words. This didn't please Spain to much who, then asked to pay the debt. But, making use of this, the United States alleged that Spain had barely helped him so he didn't owe him anything. Outraged Spain, didn't take in realizing how would be that young nation.

Being independent, the United States soon took his political-economic posture quickly. He had Adam Smith as his idol and he believed firmly in what he said. Soon his economy was based on free trade in its full expression (liberalism), where the state should not intervene in the economy. In addition, with this vision, the United States was a supporter of the law "every man for himself", besides his vision of life was very Darwinian, (although he had not yet been born), and he believed in meritocracy. That explains his extremely individualistic personality.

When the French Revolution occurred in Europe, he could not help but laugh. What happened in Europe didn't matter to him, and besides, deep down, he resented of the Europeans. In his early days completely emancipated, (which he began to enjoy a lot) he began to give changes that took him off guard. In the north, slavery began to be abolished and there were more and more free blacks, who he refused to admit part of the nation.

His relationship with his father was half stagnant. England allowed the United States to market who he wanted to except with his colonies. For a time, the United States didn't see his father in person, as he refused to see him and didn't overcome the loss of his possession. But they would definitely see each other again.

On the other hand, United States began to have desires for expansion, to impose himself, and it didn't take long to him to ask and buy Louisiana from France, exposing his body enormously. This made him feel overly arrogant, and soon he began to see everything around him as a possible big expansion, no matter what.

But his growing arrogance and desires for expansion were shocked when the Napoleonic Wars began in Europe, and England put an economic blockade on France, one of the main economic allies of the United States. In addition, when he learned that his father, out of spite, helped the Native Americans in the shadows to oppose his expansion, he broke out in anger. Repressed, he began to have an overflowing desire for expansion and some revenge towards his father for trying to ruin his plans. It was there when he met the look of twin brother, Canada.

-1812 War:

Completely enraged to see his frustrated desires, he soon saw his twin brother, Canada, whom he considered more brother than anyone, as a way to his desires. Soon he knew what he wanted to do.

England was too busy in Europe in the Napoleonic Wars against France, and the United States knew well that he could not face the British navy, so he decided to attack his unprotected brother by land. The United States wanted to expand, and was angry because of the economic blockade of his father that was ruining his commercial economy, and therefore, Canada was his target. He wanted him enormously. As he had never wanted anyone. He would expand and steal a colony from his father for revenge, kill two birds with one stone.

In 1812, he began to invade Canada by land. He believed that his brother was frail and weak, as he remembered when they were kids, but his mistake was big. When he met his twin brother, he was standing in front of him, with a serious and threatening look. But the United States didn't care. He had a burning desire for his brother, which made him smile and move like a rabid dog. Soon, he pounced on his brother and tried to possess him, feel him. But to his surprise, the United States would learn that Canada wasn't what he appeared to be. Canada kicked him in the face and broke his teeth, and made him bleed. The United States was repelled and his first invasions failed. But this only made him angry even more.

Upon learning of what was happening among the American brothers, England proceeded to help his colony. He intensified an economic blockade in the United States and proceeded to arm the Native Americans to fight against him, promising them that if they defeated the United States from the west he would recognize them as a nation. Obviously it was a lie of the manipulator of England but still the natives did it and thus formed the Confederation of Native Americans who also faced the United States.

All this did nothing but make the American crazier. In 1814, England ended up getting tired of the situation and went to the fight personally. He would teach his unruly son a lesson. After a while, both would meet again.

Aggressively, England invaded him fed up with the behavior of his son. This caused the young nation to begin to realize in what situation he was in.

Canada, who would not forgive his detestable brother, also attacked him from the north.

The sea battles were also fought.

In the victory of the Battle of Bladensbug, his brother, in August 1814 entered the city of Washington, to the horror of the United States, and did what nobody ever did. As angered as his brother, that night it shined in red. His brother Canada and his boys set fire to the White House, among other important public buildings. With a great smile of satisfaction, Canada looked at his brother evilly, who now his face reflected impotence and a certain fascination for his twin brother. Infatuated with him, Canada lashed out violently against him, until he was arrested by England himself.

Some battles were fought before peace was declared, in 1815, with the American defeat. It was his first defeat in his life. His first humiliation, as he called it. His father forced him to accept peace, and he had to do it. Being defeated made his fumes of greatness go down a little, but not too much. And he learned two important things: he should not underestimate his twin brother, who still saw him with flaming eyes and knew that he would love to have him close, as an ally, that would benefit him very much. And the second thing he learned was another teaching from his father: he can use peoples to convince and then betray them. His father abandoned his help to the Native Confederation when he had no longer needed them and left them at his mercy. It was something he would never forget.

When the war was over, he was aware that his father was in front of him, after the time when he had refused to see him. Engald left in less good terms with him, who made peace between him and Canada and laid the foundations of what would be done after the war.

After the war, he was demoralized, besides that as always, the war left a huge emotional pain. But he decided to transform that humiliation into pride, and a strong nationalist and patriotic feeling emerged as never before in his people, and thick tears came out of his eyes as he smiled with pride. An exaggerated feeling that would characterize him forever.

-The "Manifest Destiny"; the American Expansionism:

When France had lost the war, Napoleon thought of fleeing to the United States, then rival of England (but not enemy) but was caught by the English before being able to do so.

When the United States knew that Napoleon intended to flee to him, he could not help but feel special and thought about accepting him, although this never happened.

When he had recovered morally from his defeat in the War of 1812, he became stupidly optimistic as always and thought to continue with his expansionist plans. But the expansionism had nothing of "glorious", it was to occupy, invade and massacre the natives who lived there, so his bosses tried to find a justification for him and his people felt that what they did was good. From there arose the so-called Manifest Destiny, an idea that stated that the United States was a nation chosen by god to expand by divine right from the shores of the Atlantic to the shores of the Pacific.

This idea, although absurd, fitted perfectly into the mind of the United States. From his origins (with the Puritan migrations who believed to be chosen by God, and because of the excessively evangelical that he was), he had a kind of messianic idea in his subconscious that made him feel special and something egocentric, therefore, to believe in this. The idea was more than easy, although he sacrificed something very big for believing in it.

He began his plans for expansionism in 1819, when he began to impose himself militarily in Florida, a place he wanted to achieve. Because of his military incisions and threats, Spain was forced, reluctantly, to cede Florida to the United States, who there knew and saw the crying of New Spain (Mexico) as a funny amusement, when his father Spain gave him that part that by inheritance corresponded to him: Mexico.

With this new acquisition, the United States knew that if it imposed himself in a violent manner, he would get everything he wanted. And soon, he began one of his bloodiest military campaigns within what would be his territory, the conquest of the West, and he would meet that one that would face him until the end.

-Trail of Tears, the Amerindian Wars:

To expand, he had to impose himself, to impose he had to use violence. In the 1830s, the United States finally imposed himself and forcibly displaced the Native American peoples of the Mississippi (the Choutaw and the Cherokees) westward. As many refused to leave their home, more than 4,000 people were massacred by the US armed forces.

And an indeterminate war began that lasted until the end of the 19th century, between the Native American peoples and the United States. It was there that he confronted her, his half sister, Lakota.

Lakota was the personification of all the Native American peoples of North America, and was his sister by mother. She had loved him at first, had helped him although they had always had altercations. But he had always felt a strange feeling for her. He had always seen her with his father's eyes, with the eyes of "Occidentalism", as a savage. But he had always tried to hide an enormous admiration he had towards his brothers the natives. He therefore had a strange love for her. But Lakota felt betrayed by him, and never forgave him for killing her people, as England had done, and for enslaving her children and women. She never forgave him. The United States insisted that if she "civilized" everyone would be fine, but she, who was truly free, knew that civilizing was denying everything she was, stooping to be the whore of her brusque brother. No, she preferred to die free fighting than to live enslaved under the concept of "civilized". The United States tried to convince her but she never succumbed. Then, the United States knew what would happen.

In American expansionism, thousands of native peoples were massacred and enslaved under the justification of "civilization." Thus, the United States was robbing them their lands. And Lakota, she faced him with bow and arrow, although she also had a slight love for him, from when he was very young.

To destroy the temper of the natives, he gave them the liquor and the game. Lakota would never forgive him.

While he was expanding and fighting against Lakota, migrations began to arrive to the United States, especially from Ireland. It was there when in the 1940, Halloween came to the United States and Canada and quickly took root in them, but it was not until 1921 that it became popular throughout the country. Halloween is not a party of American origin nor by far, but it was an ancient Celtic festival that had its own symbolism and was celebrated at the end of summer. But as was typical of him, all this didn't interest him. The United States was a fetishist and it soon he became it commercial, distort it and empty it of meaning. Not on purpose, according to his vision, everything he did was "right and good".

The United States not only faced constantly with the Native Americans, but also, again engaged in a war for territories with another of his brothers, Mexico, his second closest brother after Canada. But this time, with more experience, the thing would be different.

-The War against Mexico:

This war he had with his brother Mexico, which took place between 1846 and 1848, he used all that he had been learning from the war, which was becoming more and more normal for him.

Since his brother Mexico had become independent from his father Spain, the United States pretended to be happy for him but actually saw him as a threat. Besides, for a long time he and his boss had wanted many of the territories of Mexico, and soon he sought the opportunity to take them from him. In those times, Mexico was with internal problems, and soon, Texas became independent of him. A quite unsustainable independence and Mexico never accepted it and less in the difficult moments he was. There, the United States saw his opportunity. He didn't take long to exaggerate this and say that Mexico annoyed the Texans, and threatened Mexico to leave them alone. Actually the United States didn't care about Texas, just wanted to annex it.

Mexico, who would not be trampled on by his intrusive brother, refused to accept the annexation, and he (the United States) said that if he didn't accept it, there would be war. It was very easy for the United States to meddle and obtain his objective: war.

Soon, in 1846, the United States had a pretext (never proven), that Mexican soldiers had opened fire on US soldiers. And immediately, the United States invaded the north and east of his Latin brother. Santa Ana, leader of Mexico was a good military strategist when taking as reference to Napoleon, and divided his forces. The United States did the same.

The war, like all was bloody and tragic for both sides, and more tragic turns to be if the two countries were brothers.

In the end, the last great and big Mexican resistance was in the castle of Chapultepec.

On September 14, 1847, the United States entered the capital and raised his flag. He had won. The United States remained in the house of Mexico, to Mexico's annoyce, until February 1848, where the treaties were signed, where, abusing his position as the winner, the United States took much of the territory from his brother, including Texas, Arizona, and California. Mexico wept for impotence and because of the war, but the United States didn't do that so much, so much time in wars began to get used to them.

With this terrible expansion, Manifest Destiny became popular again. But his hunger for expansion was not yet completely satiated.

-Gold Rus; The Old Wild West:

With this new expansionism that presented a kind of illusion of opportunity, the American dream began to take effect, although that was a dream, nothing was real.

In 1848, at the same time, there was the well-known Gold Rush. Gold Rush was the belief of finding gold in the west, which caused migrations and massive immigration of people who bet their luck to find gold there. Furthermore, this stimulated him to continue wanting to expand westward. This social phenomenon lasted between 1848 and 1849, approximately. The Gold Rush wasn't just in the USA, but in many countries too.

This era was the famous era of the Old Wild West, characterized by its Cowboys, because this was what they did, carry the cows. And the time of the bandits, who assaulted freight trains. And this is not casual. It was at this time that the United States was getting to know those who would definitely be his true bosses, to whom obedience would correspond: entrepreneurs, comparisonists, bankers. Why America wanted so much to expand? well, it was partly because of the desire of the big mining companies, the merchants who wanted to put railroads, and that of the big ranchers, who had the cotton, coffee and sugar plantations. It was to them that he carried out his orders, and they controlled the army, and the presidents acceded to their demands. And it was because of all this that the United States always faced Lakota, who was an obstacle to all this.

He was convinced that she was an uneducated savage, his father and his bosses had convinced him about it, but a part of him admired her and was madly enamored of her, though in his strange way. She had loved him and had given a lot for him, but not anymore. She knew his nature very well.

Every time she saw him she would run away or face him with her bow and arrows. But he always pursued her and tried to capture her. She always struggled and pulled free.

"Don't you see? Don't you see that I'm in love with you?!" he said, taking her hard, hurting her. But she well knew that he didn't know what he was saying, and that he would only end up finishing her. Many times they met with anger and pain and more and more the Native Americans not only were few, but they were forgetting their old customs and their traditions, assimilated by the western culture.

But many still lived, but they would end up succumbing too.

It was at this time that the world began to know the United States as a rebellious cowboy of strange tone, who fired fast and where it was becoming fashionable to emigrate.

But new problems would scourge him, and make him finally realize that life is not so simple, that they made it cruel.

The north began to industrialize. With new railroads, and a more modern economic model, the northern states began to contrast with the southerners, completely agricultural and slave owners. One of the darkest passages of his life was about to happen.

When things had been defined in the United States, he soon received the visit of his father and France who recommended him to start competing internationally and to join them, under the leadership of England. As much as he wanted to continue in his own, he knew that he had to know the world in case he wanted to impose himself there, so he ended up accepting despite some tensions with his former protector. Soon, he began to accompany him in his meetings regarding colonialism, economics, and the meetings of powerful countries that dominated the world economy. At first, which was unlike of him, he remained silent and listened to the meetings attentively. It was those times in which he began with England his whaling industry, which was based on killing whales and turn them into oil. He didn't feel much guilt. He even felt nostalgic doing that with his father, reminded him when they used to be together. American multinational companies began to be noticed.

In one of the boring meetings, he listens to the Netherlands expressing his frustration because a nation called Japan refused to open commercially. Everyone was frustrated by that, and it was there that the United States knew that he should act. He went personally to that distant nation called Japan and he showed up at his house personally. And he gave him an ultimatum: if he didn't open himself commercially, he would suffer an imminent invasion on his part. Japan had no other choice to accept. How easy it had been. That was one of the first cases in which the United States began to get wherever he wanted when he wanted. It had worked for him.

His father, at this, congratulated him, and kissed his cheek. Their relationship improved slowly, but there was still some rivalry between them. The United States followed his father's orders and interests, and was silent observing the panorama he was beginning to wish to handle himself. The world pleased him, although he didn't understand it much. So much time in his chores he had missed the fun of the great powers, he thought. Japan had pleased him too. He seemed profound, wise, and admirable, though too different from him. Japan didn't seem to think the same of him.

But he didn't have time to enjoy messing with everyone as his father and France did, because serious problems began to hit him, and he had to return.

-American Civil War:

The big industrial advance of the north of the country began to have serious friction with the south especially agricultural. In addition, the northern states in the passage of time were abolishing slavery, unlike the southern states, which was pro-slavery.

And soon, the United States began with one of his biggest dilemmas in his life. By knowing the world and the new world-economic panorama, he knew that if he didn't industrialize completely he would be left behind. If he continued with his agricultural-export model, his independence would have been in vain because, after all, he would do exactly what he did when he was a colony. His father gave him the opportunity to enter the game, but he had to hurry because otherwise England would simply leave him behind. But on the other hand, he was a inveterate racist. He really believed in "human races" and didn't even want to think about considering blacks as part of him. But he knew that the advance of industrial capitalism that a fact and if he din't industrialized would end up being a colony dressed as independent. It was there that he had to make a difficult decision.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln, a big abolitionist, was elected president, and it was there when everything broke. The southern slave states, which were the bigger owners of the plantations, declared secession and formed the Confederate States of America, who were more or less the Nazis of the time in the United States. The feds obviously considered this illegal, and it was there, in 1861, that the dark American civil war began.

The nationalists of the Union proclaimed allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. They clashed with secessionists from the Confederate States, who defended the slavery and its economic model.

These two sides not only faced ideologically, but rather everything was for their different economic visions. The Union was no less racist than the Confederates, but they knew that slavery didn't go anymore with the new economic world and that in industrialization, all of them (blacks or slaves), would be free but would work as cheap labor in the factories. Realizing this big truth, the United States supported the feds because he understood that he would triumph with them, although in his heart he were delighted to fight with the Confederates.

The land of the United States was bathed in blood, this time, of his own blood. Cruel and dark was for him, more than any, and it leave a big trauma on him. All countries that have civil wars end up disrupted forever, and he was no exception. Worse was even, because he himself murdered those who were his, his own boys, something that was etched in his mind.

In 1863, Thanksgiving Day was made national, by his beloved President Lincoln, and it was there that with regret, he remembered something he had forgotten.

This celebration celebrates the good harvests that the first Puritan colonists had in the then small colony, but above all thanks to the natives. In fact, all the settlers would have died, and the colony failed, had it not been for the Native Americans, who helped them by endearing them to cultivate and giving them food. That is celebrated on Thanksgiving Day. And the United States remembered it. He remembered when he had loved his sister in his first days, and he felt really unhappy. "It was you. You saved me "he told Lakota with regret and amazement. And she looked at him with some sadness and compassion.

Meanwhile, the bloody war continued, but in 1865, to his big relief and joy, the Union defeated the Confederacy. With the victory, three amendments to the constitution were added to guarantee the freedom of the nearly four million African-Americans who had been slaves, turning them into citizens and giving them the right to vote. This didn't like him very much, but he had to put up with it. He was still as racist as ever, even the Confederate flag was still used in some southern states, but the United States sold the best face to the world, that of freedom and non-slavery, even though he felt nothing of it. Even in spite of everything, he admired his president very much, and began to really try to think like him. But in that same year, 1865, when they were in the theater with his president, something would happen that would mark him for life. He looked smiling at his president, when suddenly, he was killed. Exalted, he stopped and went to him. The subject his head and he look into his eyes. His president smiled at him. And he died in his arms, and Alfred lamented in silence.

Abraham Lincoln had been killed. And he could not be more afflicted and anguished. But nothing would stop him. The murderer was an actor sympathetic to the already defeated confederation, who had not accepted the abolition and in an act of murderous revenge to the president.

The death of Lincoln left a strong trace in his heart, but he would not stop, nothing would stop him. He had big plans, and his father was waiting for him. Lincoln would be forever in his heart.

Despite the abolition of slavery, his racism had not diminished. Now it was like a part of him was behind his silly smile. From this, the infamous Ku Kux Klan group was born as a consequence, far right-wing groups that he shelters behind his smile of freedom.

Reconstruction:

The reconstruction was a period of American history that lasted from 1865 to 1877, during which the United States was devoted primarily to resolve issues that had remained pending after the end of the Civil War.

The things after such conflict had to be reorganized so that they were in accordance with the new policies, new economic policies, administrative matters, etc.

There was a presidential reconstruction, a reconstruction of the congress, etc.

The expansionist desires of the United States were almost satiated, and his interest was now in expanding externally and influencing the international area and the last major expansion was when he met with the one who would be his greatest and biggest rival in life, Russia.

In 1867, Russia was going through a bad time, and fearing that the British would steal in some armed conflict Alaska (who belonged to Russia at the time), he preferred to sell it in order to at least benefit from something. It was there when he met the young United States, who was very interested in buying it for him. The United States, when he first met Russia, had no more opinion about him than he did of all europeans: the United States considered them old, resentful, and false, and didn't think different about Russia. He agreed to sell Alaska and the United States bought it happily, but a high price that left him somewhat indebted.

This is how he Alaska got and expanded even more. All this made England and especially Canada a bit more annoying. Canada feared that his brother would exercise a dominant power over him, so he decided to turn strong and intensify so that his brother didn't try to dominate him. Despite that, their relations improved, they began to spend more time together, as never before, reaching the extreme where Canada asked England if he would have to marry his brother because of the close relationship they started to sustain.

Despite the abolition of slavery, the United States imposed apartheid in 1876. Apartheid imposed that black people could not share virtually anything with other people. It was a racial segregation. Apartheid would be in force until 1965.

In those years, the United States enjoyed reading what it considered his favorite book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

In these periods the north of the country professed an unprecedented urbanization and the accelerated industrialization began to sponsor the American dream more than ever and the first large immigrations began to arrive.

When the Restoration was over, in 1877, the United States would begin a path that would take it to power.

Road to Power:

With the industrialization and urbanization of the country, and under the illusion of the American dream, massive immigration began to occur. Immigrations from Europe, Africa, and Asia. All this under the promise that in America would be better, because in their homes, they were not very good. Entire families abandoned their ancestral homes and relatives, and embarked to the United States, "the land of opportunity", that was the slogan. But from the American dream little was true. Most immigrants became labor in factories and buildings and many of them lived in poverty.

Moving forward, the Great Rapprochement was given, a term used in the close relationship between him and his father. England forgive him everything. He hugged him, accepted and kissed him. They were on good terms and in fact more than ever. More united than anybody, an unbreakable relationship. He no longer saw England as his father nor did England see him as his son. But they were, and he happened to obey him in everything, although always if he matched his interests.

Even so, July 4 was a sensible day for England, and in 1886, on July 4, France made him the greatest gift. He gave him the Statue of Liberty. This was a gift from the French to the Americans to show that they were now very allies and played on the same side. The United States loved it from the beginning, claiming that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen

At this time, the United States no longer dressed as a cowboy or anything like that, those times were gone, although they still wore cowboys like the famous bandit Billy the Kid. He now dressed elegantly and served to entrepreneurs, bankers, etc. The world was based on that.

When the Triple Alliance was forged in Europe (German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Italy) the United States was informed of a future big contest that would take place at the beginning of the 20th century, a contest that would take place for colonial reasons, tensions in the imperialist competition field, etc., so he was told to be attentive

In 1886, in addition, occurred the case that would be the origin of Workers' Day. When anarchists protested and fought for 8 hours of work, they were massacred by the police on May Day. The United States hated the anarchists. He didn't even take the time to study what anarchism was when he simply fetishized it by saying that anarchists were people who wanted disorder and chaos. For him in the world he had to see a strict order. But the truth was that the claims were valid, what the businessmen did with the workers was abusive. He could have seen it, but he was under the rules of the businessmen.

But beginning to industrialize in such a way had his consequences. In 1890, there was the last big confrontation between the Native Americans and him. That was the last time. The last time he saw her wild eyes, the last time that she was close to him. After that, it was over, she was over. With a sharp pain in the depths of his being, he finally killed Lakota. She looked at him before she collapsed, and saw how her eyes filled with rancor, and then compassion. He cried inwardly. He took her lifeless body delicately and buried it under a large tree. The Native Americans who remained were held in reserves, and their culture died. There died one of the oldest nations in the world, but he never forgot her.

As much as his relationship with his father had become really close, more than anyone, he felt desperate. When the Berlin Congress was held, led by the young Germany, (which the United States was jealous of), the United States despaired. At the Berlin congress, the European powers divided up and divided Asia and Africa for them, and it was there that the United States felt diminished, displaced and disadvantaged. He wanted to be on par with the Europeans and not be left behind. He hated them, he had always felt resentment for Europe, since when he had become independent, and although he claimed to be proud of being continental American, proud of his even mother, in the depths of his being he would love to have been European. He detests them so much because deep down he could never be European himself, and for that reason, he would never really love them, except for his father.

When the powers, including Japan, began to distribute Asia and Africa, the United States, desperate for not to be outdated, fixed his blue eyes on the Caribbean. There was his prize.

In 1893, the United States betrayed the Kingdom of Hawaii, an Aboriginal monarchy, and in the shadows organized a coup by a US minority that lived there, and annexed Hawaii to him, capturing her. But apart from this, he saw his desire to own the Caribbean hindered by a big problem: much of the Caribbean was still in the hands of Spain.

-Hispanic-American War; American imperialism:

The United States wanted Spain's possessions hungrily, and would do anything to get rid them from Spain. It was there when he heard that Cuba, one of his Latin American brothers, was trying to become independent from Spain, his father, but it was not easy for him. It was there that the United States knew that he should get involved.

Soon, he introduced himself to Cuba as his brother and friend, who, anguished by his colonial situation, came to help him to be free. The smile and bright eyes of the United States convinced the innocent Cuba, who really believed that the United States, the first in America to become independent, came to help and free him from the evil Spain. The United States presented himself to Cuba as his brother and savior, the one who would help him get rid of Spain, who had Cuba monopolized. Cuba saw the United States as an angel that came to help him in his desire for freedom, and he trusted him, as real brothers.

There, the United States began to accuse Spain of repressing and mistreating Cuba and demanded he that grant independence. But Spain refused, and the United States, feigning indignation, was thrown into war. This is how Spain faced the United States, son and derivation of England. The war began in 1898, and it had its main battles in the sea, that it shone of red by the explosions. And the war was short, it only lasted 3 months, but in those three months the destiny of Spain and the destiny of Cuba were decided. Spain was not stupid and knew the United States well, knew his nature and knew his father better, so Spain knew that US didn't care about Cuba's independence; he knew his real intentions well. The United States, which was stronger than ever, and Spain, which was in decline, soon lost the war. When Spain lost the war, much of what was left of it in the Caribbean and Asia passed into the hands of the United States, who saw his objective fulfilled. Before giving in, Spain warned Cuba of the true intentions of the United States, but the cuban flatly refused to believe his words.

But when he thought he had his longed-for independence, he knew it was true. The United States now had the maximum power over Cuba, who now became his dependency. The United States removed his facade and showed him his reality. The United States had only used him, taking advantage of the situation to get rid of Spain. The United States mocked Cuba and his ingenuity, admitting that he had only used his independence desires to take him later. Hence the deep rancor that Cuba has towards his half brother. He had believed him, he had loved him as a brother and he had fought with him, but he had experienced the worst of betrayals. From that moment, Cuba happened to be his "backyard" and was called "The personal brothel of the United States".

He also took Puerto Rico when he beat Spain. And also with Puerto Rico, to get used to the idea that now he would be him, he treat him violently. He mistreated Puerto Ricans, tortured them and forced them to don't speak Spanish for a while. The women were raped and he even ordered that the rebels ones to be sterilize, rape, and torture them. Puerto Rico cried and asked the United States to stop treating them like that. Eventually he did, but he had he under surveillance. When Puerto Rico asked what would become of him, the United States told him that het would be a US dependency. Puerto Rico said that it was like being a colony, but the United States, who was trying to convince himself that he was good, said that colony was not the case. Puerto Rico, like other possessions came to be called associated Free states, which would be in pretty words, to be a colony.

The Philippines also went from the tutoring of Spain to the American when the United States came to have power over her, when all these possessions of Spanish passed to him as the victor of the war. But she would resist him. She would fight for not being busy and stop the price.

-Philippine Genocide:

When the Philippines came under US control, she completely refused. Also known as the Philippine-American War, which occurred between 1899 and 1902, the United States carried out a big massacre. He had orders to impose himself on the Philippine population, and carry out a process of des Hispanization of the population. Obviously the Philippines resisted what she and her people considered an invasion, and didn't accept them as their new "owners". The US military had orders not to take prisons and kill every dissident. He called it "national liberation war", which is ironic since he was dominated and murdered. They died around a 3 million people (the vast majority civilians) who represented 10% of the Filipino population at the time. And many of them were children. He murdered children in person, for opposing him, "the savior of the world". This was how he was, as a savior, a "liberator of democracy" when he wasn't a democracy (he was a representative republic), and it was he who usurped, invaded, assassinated and reduced nations to colonial conditions, under other names.

But under the concepts of manifest destiny and his own ego, he considered himself a true savior, bearer of the truth. And the truth is that nobody put a brake on him, or his father who was aware of the character of his son. It suited him well.

-Prelude to the First World War:

The United States turned Cuba into his personal brothel, and abuse in many ways of Puerto Rico.

Not only did Spain fall and lose his domains in America forever, but the United States became the lord of the Caribbean, and transformed definitively into a World Power for the first time, causing the Great Nations to become attached to him, even more than already they had done it.

With Cuba, Puerto Rico, Philippines, etc. he saw his goal of completed imperialism. In this way he would not be left behind with respect to European colonialism and imperialism, which were beginning to have more and more tensions. The United States had the power and real dominion over Central America, and began to watch expectantly what was happening in Europe, because he knew of the big contest that would take place there. His resentment and envy of the Europeans had made him consider leaving them alone in the future war, he was not interested in their dilemmas to those conceited, but he preferred to wait to see what was convenient.

In 1911, the fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist shirts factory in New York, where women workers who were in protest were burned inside the building as a way to silence their struggle. This was one of the biggest references of International Women's Day. Things did not look good, with labor legislation and social inequality in the world, and the established of the Peace through strength (which had nothing logical), only made the picture look more tense, but with the approached of the contest that would mark the century, everything would change forever.

-First World War:

Finally, in 1914, the war in Europe began. He automatically (before anyone came to claim him) declared neutral. He wanted first to see the panorama of this new war that would mark a before and after, and he wasn't as stupid as he seemed, and he knew well that entering the war at the beginning would not be beneficial at all. He would enter the contest when his victory was assured and when everyone was tired.

And so it was, he waited while watching the massacre. When he finally decided it was time to enter. But he could not do it without further ado, he needed a justification, and he really didn't have one. No real reason had to enter the war but he would end up getting what he wanted. Soon, the hero would demonstrate his intelligence. He devised a plan to pass a passenger ship in a zone of war and German attack. Germany, with this, asked him to please not pass through that area as it was an area under attack. But he not only didn't hear him but that was what it was about. On purpose he made passed that ship and when Germany, without another alternative, sank it by killing everyone on board, the United States feigned indignation and had the justification to enter the war.

In 1917, almost at the end of the war, when all were already destroyed, the United States entered to "save the world from the evil Germany". In doing so, he marked the definitive end of the war. He sought England to inform him of his entry, and upon finding him, flying through the air, England could not help but genuinely smile at the sight of his son.

The United States joined France and England and the war ended in 1918. Although he was as if nothing had happened (since he had practically not participated), everyone else ere destroyed and broken emotionally and psychologically by the war. In spite of having helped them, even England reproached him for not having delivered before. But he was like his father, and he would not have done it without any guarantee.

Despite the short time in the war, he himself felt a bit domed and anguished by the war. In the Treaty of Versailles, he wasn't t very present, since in reality he was still reluctant to the Europeans and didn't want to see them. Therefore, he wasn't present when the losers took everything away, although he participated in some meetings, where he made it clear that he didn't want to be involved with them again and didn't want to belong to the League of Nations.

Despite pretending this isolationist policy, deep down he had great plans for an expansionism in the Pacific, and it was for that reason that fleeting glances were exchanged with Japan, who apparently had the same objective.

But there was still time for the second storm tha would hit the world, and although he was attentive to what was happening in the world, he would soon experience a kind of relaxation. For having been on the winning side, and with his military industry flourishing, the United States was experiencing one of the most idyllic moments of his life.

-The Merry Twenties':

After the Great War many loose ends remained: the European countries had to recover from the bloody war, while at the same time, all had their eyes fixed on Russia. The Russian Revolution had left everyone more than surprised, and nobody liked it at all. For this reason, England, France, Japan and United States began to intervene financing armed groups in the civil war suffered by Russia to reinstate the monarchs and for stop the Bolsheviks. The United States didn't understand communism but still didn't hate or fear it yet; he only sabotaged Russia since he knew that if the Bolsheviks won, they would demand that he end up paying the debt owed to Russia for the purchase of Alaska. Even so, all the sabotage didn't work and the Soviet Union emerged, although he didn't know that Russia would be his greatest rival. In those times life seemed beautiful to him.

During most of the decade of 1920, the country enjoyed a period of prosperity, diminishing the imbalance of the balance of payments while the profits of the industrial farms grew. During this idyllic time came the famous flappers' girls, with whom he loved to dance Jazz with them. Jazz also liked him; even though it was frowned upon as being "black" music, just like the blues, but he loved it anyway.

In addition, during those years, he started one of his greatest hobbies, becoming an archaeologist in remote parts of the world and finding antiques. It was there when they began to call him (along with England) "grave-robbing", since, although he took antiquities to museums, he took them to his museums. Many governments to this day are still asking for their cultural heritage pieces to be returned to them.

He also suffered from a funny chronic drunkenness when Prohibition was imposed, a law that prohibited alcohol. But it was perhaps because of this that he was more prone to liquor and helped the smugglers to sell it.

All these years were idyllic for him, and perhaps, the best and happiest years of his life, but even for him, life would whip.

-The Great Depression and Prelude to World War II:

In the 1920s, the United States spent his life like a big party.

And this was because apparently the economy was flying through the skies. It happened that in the 1920s, all citizens began to buy shares whose market value went up uninterruptedly. The bankers well knew that more money was being generated than there was when people began to borrow money to buy shares that seemed to be worth enough. However, the big bankers were quietly withdrawing from the stock market and in 1929 all that financial party would fall apart. Soon the banks began to ask for the loans back, which caused a massive sale of the shares (which were worthless), since everyone needed to pay their loans. Thousands of banks went bankrupt, being bought by the big banks who organized the crisis, and also whole corporations were sold to nothing.

When the 1930s arrived, the world was black. The crisis in the stock market affected all countries, which rose in one of the most regrettable crises in history. It was there when everyone began to look at him with hatred and resentment. But he, who was a country, didn't have a good time either. It generated one of the biggest social crises he could remember. Unemployment, extreme poverty, lack of economy, only the big bankers had a good time. And it was there when he looked at them with real contempt. He fell ill quickly. Pale, with red eyes, and without strength. He realized that the whole great party lived in the 20s was a lie. All this would lead to the crisis. He had become engrossed in himself after the war, but now he had to look out again, and he would do so indeterminately.

The European countries that could never recover from the war, and that now had the crisis, emerged in extreme policies such as fascism and Nazism.

In the crisis, thousands of people died all over the world, and yet they already thought about war again.

In 1933, Roosevelt assumes as president of the United States, who will take the United States strongly, would give him a pair of claps to get him out of his catatonic situation and guide him in what they would have to do.

When Nazi Germany emerged in 1933, his father, France and he were afraid and disliked by him, but deep down, he had always been jealous of Germany. Maybe because Germany was young in the world, maybe because he was European, because he made a good competence; it could be all or none, but when he emerged as Nazi Germany, United States was no longer jealous of him, but a terrible envy arose in him, therefore, annoyed for envy him more than anyone, he decided to do the opposite in everything, besides, Nazi Germany had economic policies that rivaled those of his and his father's allies, so from the beginning they were destined to confront each other.

But Nazi Germany, even if he wanted it, wouldn't be his rival, but another, another that he admired since he met and threatened: Japan.

Japan began to take an aggressive political-economic stance with him and his father, (because they had reduced his navy and influenced his domains) and soon began to align ideologically with Germany and Italy.

This bothered him not only because he wanted Japan on his side and when he left with Germany, (whom he envied so much), but because his policy nationalized the resources he wanted for himself. Soon, Japan and he began to see towards the same place: the pacific.

When the Second Sino-Japanese War began, he and England knew that Japan didn't care what they thought, and that he would seize strategic places with great resources that they also wished to possess. This ended the good relationship between them. It was there that, although he would love to face Germany, his destiny was to face the millennial Nation of the Sun.

Another factor that bothered United States a lot, more than even the Axis forces, was the Soviet Union. Russia was the only one that had really changed the map and the game since the Russian Revolution, and his presence changed everything in a thousand ways. England, who was still the head of the group, knew that it was stupid to have such a colossal country against, and devised a plan: they would ally with him, but during the war, they would have Russia and Germany end up between each other and to the end of the war, the Soviet Union would be destroyed. Thus the threat of such power and communism would have been destroyed without effort from them. And that's why the United States didn't think too much about him. But they would never know that none of it would be given as they expected. As much as Nazi Germany was the center of attention and everyone was tense for it, the Soviet Union tensed them even more.

When the United States learned about the anti-Jewish policies of Nazism, he knew that there he could put his hands in the future, if they won the future war. The Axis powers were truly powerful, and that disturbed them too, only they (England, France, United States), wanted to rule in the world.

-Second World War:

When the war began, the United States began to despair. As much as he wanted to enter too, he had no justification. In reality wars are not for freedom or anything like that, are for interests, but that cannot say as if nothing and he needed a justification that would allow him to enter and that public opinion will support him. Tired of not finding any excuse, he began to bother Japan who had invaded French Indonesia in 1941. He began to be aggressive with Japan, and soon he made an economic embargo that angered the Japanese enough.

He banned exports of steel and oil to Japan and frozen Japanese loans in the United States. Japan tried to ignore these provocative tactics of the United States but finally he was said that if he wanted to deal with him, he would do it.

In 1941, it was known that the Japanese would attack the United States. What is never mentioned is that Japan openly announced that he would attack Pearl Harbor. When he went to attack him, the United States waited patiently for him. He soon received a call from his brother Australia who warned him that the Japanese would attack Pearl Harbor, but he wanted this to happen. When Japan had finally attacked, the United States feigned indignation and declared war on him. The public opinion supported him for this and he got what he wanted.

It was like that, as in full force, the United States would face Japan. First he decided to take all of his strategic islands in the Pacific, beginning a war for the sea. But in the sky they also saw each other faces.

The United States went to ask his brother Canada in person that, while he was in charge of Japan, that he bombed Germany on his behalf. Canada did so.

In the course of the war, despite enemies, the United States could not hate Japan, showing an obsession and admiration for him. In fact, the one he hated was Germany, for having Japan on his side. Japan was serious, quiet, and stoic, unlike the American, who was energetic, cocky, and stupidly optimistic.

Japan didn't like him and would never forgive him for the United States intervening in his life as he had done and letting him bomb Pearl Harbor if he knew he would.

The United States admired Japan at the same time that he feared him. Japan eventually lost the war at sea, but in the skies, with the implementation of the Kamikazes, he could stop the American a little. He never liked the Kamikazes, he didn't see them as heroic as Japan said they were.

The United States was criticized even in the war for bombing Japanese cities with incendiary bombs, which were forbidden, but nothing can stopped "the hero."

In his home, the war economy saved him from the crisis, generating jobs, etc. When war comics began to become popular, he defined himself as the hero of the world. When entering the war, and with the powerful he was, finally he replaced to England like leader of the Allies.

But not everything was rosy for him. When he learned that nobody, except Russia finally beat Germany, he was upset. He would have loved to say that he was he who defeated the evil German, but he could never say such a thing, and what angered him most was that it was Russia who did it. But he had to concentrate on Japan, who was the last one standing on the Axis, those who had challenged them.

Once Italy had lost, and Germany under Russia, only the United States and Japan remained fighting. However, already in the last moments, the United States really began to fear Japan, even considered that he could reach him in power, because he was strong and unstoppable. When, on the death of President Roosevelt and Truman's rise in 1945, he told him that he would end the war in a way never before seen. The United States upon knowing it he opened his eyes wide. Japan was lost.

The United States dropped the Atomic Bombs on Japan.

Terrified everyone. Even his allies, who had yielded to him the command of the Allies.

It was atrocious. But the United States experienced something very different. Not only did he see it as something "glorious" but he discovered his motive in life. Nothing of a before lived now had meaning. At that moment, the sensations that housed him made him know his reason for existing: throwing bombs, invading countries, generating wars, that was his goals, his meaning, his motive for which he was born, according to him.

England looked at his son with some respect, and knew that now that he was no longer the boss, he should move into the ranks of his son, who would soon claim the world with his new power.

When Japan fell and the war ended, he distributed to his allies tasks and reprimands for the defeated countries. He looks with resentment and pleasure, the suffering of Germany, who was under the hands of Russia. Germany still didn't like him. Deep in his heart he still envied him. He had envied Nazi Germany. But for Russia, which was still standing as strong as ever, and had not feared his bombs, he hated or feared him more. Soon he saw Russia as a danger, no longer as an ally.

Despite what he did to Japan, the last thing he wanted was to have him as an enemy, and it was he who took care of him, healing his wounds, changing his bandages, speaking sweetly to him. Without knowing the hatred that Japan began to have for him, the United States didn't move away from him until he was able to fend for himself again.

When the war was over, Europe was destroyed in every way. France and England exhausted. The United States was a power now, the strongest of all, and soon imposed his desires as a whole "heroic leadership".

He send troops to practically all the countries, to which he invaded and he try to make everything as he would like. When he occupied Italy and entered Rome, he admired the Roman Colosseum, but he swore that he would be a greater empire than that. And everyone should accept him as the world's savior policeman.

But there was someone who didn't flatter him. Someone who didn't t do what he said. Someone who thought with his own mind. Russia. And it was there when their eyes met.

-Cold War:

When the war ended, the US military occupied many countries, among which were the main Axis powers, and all of his occupations had some effect. When he occupied Italy, he liked Pizza so much that when he returned home some time later, he brought the recipe and popularized it all over the world.

When he occupied Japan, he soon became disconcerted with his culture when he saw it up close, he disrespectfully began a process of acculturation and to fetishize everything that was strange to him, for example, the geishas. These were entertainment entertainers usually to high-ranking people, but he spread the rumor that they were high-ranking prostitutes. And so he did with Japanese culture when he was installed there caring for Japan. He took care of him, cleaned him, and even consoled him. He looked like a girlfriend in love who took care of his beloved wounded, but he didn't know or didn't want to see the hatred that Japan was accumulating for him.

When Japan recovered, instead of attacking the United States because of the deep hatred he had taken, he smiled at him, and from there they became very friendly. The United States trusted Japan and saw his dream of having Japan as allies come true. Despite what he did to him, the United States never suspected Japan's true feelings towards him, and they are still very close so far. But deep down, no of them forget...

And also, along with France, England and Russia, they rushed and occupied Germany like hungry dogs. The United States occupied the south west of Germany, while Russia stayed with Prussia, and France and England had other portions of Germany. He looked at Germany with a poisonous look, but this one looked away his eyes. Unlike what he was like before, with a serious, threatening and persevering look, Germany now looked like a child with his head down. And when the United States took his body to himself, thick and dirty tears fell from the eyes of Germany. Many German women were raped by the Americans soldiers during the occupation.

He liked to do it, and listening to Germany's laments, he deserved it, he said. He envied him so much that he wanted to get even with him. Between him, France and England, Germany was severely beaten. In those times, the United States didn't take long to blame Germany for being evil when it became known about the Jews. And it was true, but he also exaggerated it a bit, like when he said that the Nazis murdered the Jews in gas chambers, when in reality, the gas chambers didn't exist at that time. Germany was strongly regretful and devastated by his decisions, but everyone hated him and would never forgive him. On the other hand, to the United States, nobody said anything to him. Nothing for what he did to Japan, or anything.

With his new strength, with so much force of war, and with now American bases being built in their places of occupation, the United States was the power, and those who were allies of his father were now his allies. And when the war was over, he was the lord of the world.

But there was another.

When everyone arrived in Germany, he was in the hands of Russia, who was mistreating him. He, England and France watched the scene for a while until the United States prevailed and demanded Germany. When Russia looked at him, with discomfort, and knew that Russia didn't see him as superior and didn't fear him, all of a sudden, Russia caught his attention and was no longer his ally. At first Russia was reluctant to hand over Germany, but he ended up doing so. When Russia returned home, the United States hoped not to find him again but deep down he knew they would meet again.

At the end of the occupation in Germany, the United States tried to treat the German well so that he ended up going to his ranks.

But Russia, who was still in Berlin, had other plans. Russia began to exasperate him. He didn't pay attention to him, he was independent on his decisions, he was imposing, burlesque with respect to him, and above all, what he disliked most, Russia was as strong as or stronger than he, and he would fight to impose himself and impose his ideology, as he would too.

Soon, strong tensions began to occur between them. Very strong tensions. The United States abhorred communism. He seemed it an aberration. He had not always been like that. At first, in the early years of the Soviet Union, he was somewhat happy for Russia, because he really wanted to help his people. But the heads of the United States, began to fill his head that communism was wrong, because it intervened in the economy and in the lives of people, and prohibited private property. With this he was outraged. From his thinking structure private property was inviolable and with this half distorted vision of communism he began to hate it. He was the hero of the world now, and he would not let communism spread, he would not let Russia do it. Soon, the United States would begin to prepare his own power empire.

-The Marshall Plan, the Red Terror, NATO and the Warsaw Pact:

After the Second World War, Alfred, triumphant abroad and unscathed in the interior, saw that a door opened to world supremacy. Only one thing that was called "communism" blocked the way, politically, militarily, and ideologically. All of the foreign policy of the US ruling class was mobilized to confront this "enemy," and the Marshall Plan was an integral part of that campaign.

After the war, anti-communism became the main topic of foreign policy as naturally as if the Second World War and the alliance with the Soviet Union had not taken place. Together with the CIA (organization that supports the interests of the United States), the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, the Council of Foreign Relations, several corporations, and other private institutions, the Marshall Plan was one more arrow in the arc of the remodeling of Europe to adjust it to Washington's wishes, spreading capitalism (to counteract the strong postwar tendencies towards socialism), opening markets to provide new clients for Alfred's corporations. The impulse for the creation of the Common Market as integral parts of the Western European bulwark against the alleged Soviet threat. Marshall Plan funds were secretly channeled to fund this last effort, and the promise of aid to a country, or the threat of its interruption, was used as a club.

The Marshall Plan imposed all kinds of restrictions on the recipient countries: they had to comply with all kinds of economic and fiscal criteria, prepared for a full-scale return to free enterprise. The United States had the right to control not only how the Marshall Plan dollars were spent, but also to approve the expenditure of an equivalent amount of local currency, giving Washington substantial power over the internal plans and programs of the European states; he disliked welfare programs for survivors in need of war; even rationing smelled too much of socialism and had to be eliminated or reduced; Washington opposed even more vehemently the nationalization of the industry. Much of the Marshall Plan funds returned to the United States, or never left the country. It could be considered more like a joint business operation between governments, with contracts written by lawyers from Washington; it was often a business arrangement between the American and European ruling classes, many of the latter recently out of service to the Third Reich, an activity shared by some of the former; or it was an arrangement between congressmen and their favorite corporations to export certain goods, including a lot of military goods. Therefore the Marshall Plan served as the foundation for the military industrial complex as a permanent feature of American life. Obviously, who opposed teeth and claws to the Marshall Plan was Russia.

For Europe to commit even more to collaborate with him, in 1949, NATO was created, a military union that had the objective of "seeking peace", because the United States was in favor of "if you want peace prepare you for war", for more incoherent that it sound. Knowing what this union meant, to counteract it, Russia and Poland formed the Warsaw Pact, a military union of Eastern European countries allied with Russia. Already the world began to divide in two. When the incident of the German division was presented, the United States demanded Russia to left Germany. But Russia would not let him have all the power and gave him a low blow: East Germany was formed, to the sadness of Germany and annoyance for Alfred, who almost had an open confrontation that made everyone around him tense. It was almost official, they were enmity. When the Communist Revolution took place in China, the United States ended up angered and used all his forces to "save the world and democracy" from "diabolical communism."

His hatred and repulsion towards communist China, and especially towards Russia, made him fear that the world, his allies or himself would be infected by socialism. Paranoid, he swore to invade any country that was in "danger" of it.

During the 50s, he began to take somewhat paranoid measures to prevent any communist emergence in him, so he founded the Committee of Anti-American Activities, an investigative committee that practically disrupted the lives of the citizens of those country to address them and question them on certain issues. Those who refused to answer, entered the "black list", and many who were intellectuals, etc. This time of policies only caused people to be stressed, to believe in a internal enemy, which was based on hatred and fear (all at that time were afraid), and this, the so-called Red Terror became more latent.

It was during the 50 that the United States was captivated by what he considers the most beautiful woman in the world, (typical fetishistic things of him), Marilyn Monroe. She made him dream many times and so crazy he based the parameters of female beauty in society based on her: blonde, silly, helpful and sexual. For him, she was perfect. And there was a time when his dreams came true, and she gave herself to her beloved country. But he also went crazy with Elvis Presley, who revolutionized the music of the moment. And it made him think, that the world seemed to open up. And while listening to the King (Elvis), the United States looked at the world attentively at the same time as Russia.

-War of Korea (1950-1953):

After the Japanese eviction of Korea, this one broke in two. The northern part was supported by Russia who helped him, and then by China, while the southern part contrasted with the northern part. By the time of the Cold War, the United States was genuinely concerned about Korea reuniting in communism, and secretly supporting the separatists. However, by the time the North Korean army, (peasant army that had risen up against the Japanese army) went to claim his brother for national union, along with China, who wanted the brothers to come together again, the United States decided that the day of "save" South Korea had arrived. South Korea was at the hands of a dictator who was supported by the US, and he cannot against the organized army of his northern brother. By the time this happened, the United States called everyone at the UN to support him in what was to be done. He used the little South Korea to fight with his communist brother while he influenced everything.

That's where he fought against for the first time against the ranks of communist China and communism in general.

In reality what the United States saw in this new panorama of war was another route to compete against Russia and communism.

In reality, this bloody and cruel war was only a proxy war (very common in the Cold War) between the Soviet Union and him.

Soon the United States and the Soviet Union sought other scenarios to confront each other, leaving the little brothers of North and South Korea facing and hating each other to this day. He didn't feel guilty about it. For him the panorama was to compete and compete and triumph over Russia. No, neither of them felt guilty about this. The United States kept telling himself and convincing himself that what he was doing was to "save the world" as his duty as Hero.

The Korean War was cruel and dark, which left a nation broken to the present day. In this war both sides were fractured and declared themselves winners. A war that to this day, is not concluded, all because of the United States and his intervention there.

A tragic scenario. A tragedy of Shakespeare.

-The Cuban Revolution, the Berlin Wall, the Red Telephone and the Kennedy Assassination:

The fanatical competition that began to sustain Russia and the United States was such that the world had to adapt to it. They were the biggest unquestionable powers, and the world had to be aligned on one side or the other. The so-called "Second World" countries were those that alienated one or the other, while the countries of the "Third World" were countries that were neutral, without allying themselves to any.

When Russia began to make big spatial advances, the United States was upset and filled with shame. Not to be left behind, he founded NASA in 1958. The United States saw communism as a big evil and obstacle, but at least, communism was far from him, he thought. Until, without ever being expected, communism reached his doors: in 1959 the Cuban revolution began.

From the Hispanic/Spanish-American war that Cuba was his personal brothel. The situation in Cuba was exorbitant: drugs, prostitution, criminality, big social inequality, and it was a big mafia center where the United States held his meetings at times. And poor Cuba, he couldn't do anything despite regretting his situation. In those days, Cuba was led by a dictatorial regime that ruled with the support of the United States, Batista.

But everything that is extreme one day breaks down.

Cuba, fed up and with a fire burning in his heart, began a quasi-independence revolutionary process. The authorities tried to suppress the rebellion, but in 1959, everything exploded in Cuba, who along with his new leader, Fidel Castro, rose up and took the whole island under the red flag of communism. When the United States found out about this ridiculous fact, so incoherent in his mind, and so surprising, his heart almost stopped. He never got so much into despair. Communism was closer to him than it would ever be. He went into a rage and did everything possible to reverse the scandalous situation. But he couldn't

When Russia found out, he cannot help but be filled with happiness and laugh out loud.

The humor of the United States became poisonous from this, and he didn't sleep for long time thinking about what Cuba was doing.

The United States supported his infamous CIA forces to murdered the leader of Cuba or financed a coup d'état, but to his horrible regret, all of Cuba supported the revolution and could never have Fidel Castro killed.

In 1961, Kennedy was elected president, and for some reason, the United States felt different, perhaps because he was a Catholic (all were evangelicals), he didn't know.

When the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred, everyone tensed terribly. The Soviet Union and he, and in the middle Cuba, made the world breathe in the face of such a panorama that could have gone wrong.

Even so, when everything calmed down, so as not to have these worrying cases again, the Red Telephone was established, a telephone with a direct line between him and Russia. Long talks held the United States and Russia with that phone, and we'll never know what they talked about. Some were exciting and others quiet.

When the Berlin Wall was raised, it became the big symbol of the Cold War. His relationship with Germany had improved but he would always look at him with suspicion, Germany for his part, spent a lot of time crying over the wall and his brother.

His relationship with Russia was not only on bad terms but it was too sickly, and it was stressful for everyone, but he would not let the world be ruled by the "communist bastard", but by "the savior hero of the world", because apparently the world could not save itself and be self-sufficient.

But with his president Kennedy he felt relaxed. He appreciated him. President Kennedy for was a great president and under his tutelage, the United States filled to consider something inconsiderable. He filled to think, to forgive Cuba for the moment and see that perhaps, the Soviet Union was not so different from him. When Alfred's heart left hatred aside, he felt the way he used to feel. But President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. He saw everything, and wept with helplessly and impotence. The same thing had happened to President Lincoln, but this time, for some reason it hurt much more.

The reasons for the murder were never known, but he suspected them:

-It could have been the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon, because the president had ruled out the idea of invading Cuba, and his refusal to lend military strength, and the CIA later called him a traitor. -It could be because he and his brother attacked the first organization that had connections with the elite, it could also be by the presidential decree of Executive Decree No. 11110, it was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to lend money with interest to the federal government of the United States. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the Federal Reserve Bank, owned by private parties would soon be out of business. - -Also the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam would add to the dissatisfaction of the banksters and the Industrial-Military complex, his basic economy, and because of issues with the Vatican, with Israel, and for many other reasons they could have killed his beloved president, but he would never know.

His death left him depressed and even Russia appeared to leave him some words. Kennedy's death remains a trauma without overcoming for him.

In 1965, apartheid was abolished. And he felt something strange. He knew he was still a racist, but deep down he would try not to be, even though it was something ancestral in him.

When the president was assassinated, President Johnson came up, who fanned the competitive spirit, but something had changed in his mind. Inside, something that hit him in the face forever. That was when he saw her.

-Vietnam War:

On the part of France, he had reached his ears that an Asian country called Vietnam was in conflict and that very probably, because of how things were going, she would end up uniting under communism. France asked for his help to restore she as a French colony again, but for the United States this was much more. In Vietnam communism was becoming stronger and in the end she would end up happening to the services of the Soviet Union and his ranks. Making use of his oath not to let any country fall into the red claws of communism, and foreseeing that another country will not convert after what happened with Cuba, the saving hero agreed and proceeded to investigate the situation in Vietnam for an imminent future saving intervention.

In those days, he was sure and sure of himself and his actions, completely convinced that he really was a hero. Until he met her.

From the first moment his eyes saw her, his reality changed. Very seriously, Vietnam was taken, much more than Korea or Cuba. And suddenly, the sweet voice of Marilyn Monroe faded in his mind. Vietnam didn't fit with his parameters of feminine beauty. She was short, with suspicious eyes, and an unattractive face, but for him, she became his "damsel in distress". But fate was sealed for both, and the world that the United States knew would be broken into heavy.

More than anxious to intervene in Vietnam, he tried to find an excuse to do so.

Although the conflict began in 1955, it was not until 1964 that the United States entered completely. To support France, the American had to find an excuse to intervene. The excuse was in the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin, where supposedly North Vietnamese boats had attacked two American destroyers, so he had the excuse, but in reality this was not true but was an event organized by the CIA. It was like this, that the hero intervened to rescue his damsel in danger. But this damsel wasn't what he expected. Vietnam was strong, intelligent and persevering. From the moment she saw the American intervening in her life, she was filled with indignation and disgust. He had no right to break her destiny and handle her as he wanted, and no matter how much the hero tried to get her into his arms, the reaction of the serious Vietnamese was hit him in the face.

The more he insisted, more she refused. And soon, he really was baffled.

Vietnam soon began to hate him terribly. But her hatred was not proportional to that of the United States, who hated her against his will for every rejection she made to him.

The mere idea that Vietnam was allied with Russia made him sick. Soon he became terribly obsessed with this war, and did his best to prevent Vietnam from uniting under "evil" communism. Being harassed and persecuted by the United States, as well as being unable to be free to choose her own destiny, made Vietnam hate him even more. And even though the Vietnam War was only a proxy war, he took it seriously, to the point of not thinking about Russia, only about Vietnam, the one that would open his eyes with fire and pain.

The war occupied his mind and his heart and he spent many years away from home. Only with the objective to win it. But in his stomach, he began to have a big bunch of feelings. He hated her, he hated Vietnam for not recognizing him as a hero and for not realizing that communism was evil. He hated her because she was strong and she didn't let him defeat her, she had a sharp tongue and she never let him have the last word, he hated her because sometimes she made him think beyond what he wanted to see. And he felt a touching love for her, something that made him go crazy. And at the same time, he began to want to leave and never come back.

The effects of the war made their havoc on both.

For the first time in his life, the United States felt disgust, tragedy, and disenchantment with the war. Not only began to hate it secretly, but at times, the obsession he had for Vietnam was transformed into a painfull love and pity for her. That war was not what he expected. It was neither beautiful nor glorious, and strange desires in his heart to return to his home and live quietly arose in him.

By observing them, and observing what was happening to them, he repressively tried to convince myself that everything was glorious and obsessed even more, lengthening the war. But at the same time he could not do it. It was strange, he had spent all his life at war and even though it had all killed something inside him, he felt that it would kill him directly, or that it would take away something much more important.

The look of Vietnam was reproachful, serious, angry and hurt. But he must saved her. He would. He wanted to have her as an ally, she had resources, and ... it didn't matter anymore.

When he returned home in 1968 when President Nixon came to power, he ordered him to return to Vietnam, but the United States tearfully begged him: "Please, don't make me go back. I don't want to, I don't want to see her, I want to be at home, please. I beg you, sir. "

But President Nixon shouted at him and ordered him to return. Between crying he did it. He never loved President Nixon, he even hated him.

When Martin Luther King was killed, he somehow felt that he was condemned to the same thing all his life.

When he returned, the United States proposed to confront her once and for all. When he saw her, her eyes were red, she was dirty and hurt. He was like that too. It was raining, he remembers.

When the fight started again, he hit her with all his might. She did the same. In the mud, among the blood, they rolled around shouting and shooting among themselves. She was a fool who wasted the opportunity to be his ally and preferred evil communism. Communism had convinced her, had stolen her away from him. But she, who in the war had come to know him more than anyone else, told him the truth: he was not a hero. He never had been, maybe he tried, but he had not succeeded. He was, in fact, the most unbearable of the villains. Everyone hated him. Openly or secretly. He shook his head, it was not true. She hit him hard in the face and he fell bleeding. But there was no biggest blow than the truth. He hated her now more than anyone for telling him this, that destroyed everything in his being. She told him well, that he was intrusive, abusive, invasive, a liar, conceited, fetishist, racist, warlike, but naive. She herself felt some pity for him, and cried in anger because their destinies were linked forever.

In 1975 the war ended. And the world looked different to him. Of reprimands, he knew who he was. He was not a hero, he was not a savior, and breaking his ego made him cry.

It was a brutal hand-to-hand fight, in which he lost. Before leaving, Vietnam dedicated a few words of pain and anger, so as not to see each other again.

The war ended, and the United States returned with a truth and depression that would consume him.

He locked himself in his house for a long time. And finally he accepted it. He was not the hero. He never had been.

Even with this knowledge, he didn't change, just stopped justifying and self-convinced. He kept doing the same, believing that this was the case and he could not change it.

Over time, he knew that those strange feelings that had harbored him in the war were the anti-war feelings of the emergence of the Jipi movement, which lay in his heart and was part of him. He loved her for that. He would always hate her but love her at the same time. Always.

Locked in on himself, he had to adapt to his defeat and his new reality. He was no longer the hero, but he didn't decide to change. Doing it was like dying in life.

Meanwhile, the cold war continued.

-The Operation Condor:

While he continued his constant competition with Russia, and with that of Cuba, he began to worry that his Latin American siblings from South America would convert to communism. The countries of South America had spent their lives being like whores for England and him, so it would not be strange for communism to ignite like a spark in gunpowder. For that, he organized an operation to have them on the sidelines and without they knowing it, helpful to him. It began like this, to finance military dictatorships in South America. Not only did he finance them, but he coordinated and trained the dictators with the CIA and proposed his economic models to him. But without being expected, his brothers knew that he was the one who endorsed the dictatorships, repressions and disappearances of people, and never forgave him.

-End of the Cold War:

When the Soviet Union began to have problems, and when the iconic Berlin Wall fell, he knew that sooner or later he would win and his heart almost burst out of his chest. He could not believe it. Expectant and with an emotion that killed him, he waited patiently. Every minute that passed, it was a minute closer to being the head of the world. Although at a higth price: thousands of lives in each capricious war and in his stressed home and his image of himself.

Even so, he had to admit, and he would admit that he saw Russia to the only one he considered as his equal. Nobody else, only he saw him at his level.

Suddenly, his soul soared through the heavens, and fell heavily to the ground: in 1991, the Soviet Union had fallen. Tears of betrayal fell from his eyes, though he didn't know if it was happiness or because the meaning of his life was gone.

Suddenly, all eyes turned towards him. He was the leader, the boss, the master, the hegemony. His father approached him to congratulate and lowered his head in respect.

He soon became evil with Russia, with satisfaction. Not only did he outrage him in his moment of sadness but he threatened to kidnap and rape his sisters, only to bother him a little. In addition, with resentment, he introduced drugs to Russia, who had a bad time and crisis in those days.

It was already. It was over. The feelings that the United States felt were varied. Disbelief. Surprise. Joy. Emotion. Euphoria. Arrogance. Satisfaction. Boredom. Loneliness. Existential void.

What would he do now? He already had everything. The world was his. He was the hegemony. And yet, he wasn't happy. He was the country of war, he lived on it, it was his motive and purpose, but without the Soviet Union, without an external enemy to justify himself, there was nothing to do. Nobody suffered more Soviet Nostalgia than he did.

And yet he had to overcome it, because despite having won and being the master of the world, his situation was not the best.

-Gulf War, the war that never existed:

With the fall of his only obstacle, Russia, he became the hegemony. And over time he made many powerful allies, and many others were introduced to him by his father England, who had been the previous hegemony for a long time.

And soon, the United States continued with his plans to own everything. But he needed an external enemy to do it. Without Russia or communism, he felt empty, and he didn't take long to find someone else to blame for something. It was there when he set his sights on the Middle East.

Where he had allies, he had enemies, and those were his enemies now.

In 1990, Kuwait, ally of USA, began to steal oil from Iraq across the border they shared. Iraq obviously didn't forgive him, and invaded him in retaliation. The United States saw his opportunity again. Wars were always for that reason, resources, things of value, stealing, etc. The United States hungrily wanted Iraq's oil, and proceeded to help Kuwait, a friend of Saudi Arabia, a close ally of the United States. Everything was a game of interests, and Iraq, who was the real victim, was demonized by the United States who proceeded to "liberate Kuwait from him". However, everything was a lie. The war, if it can be called that, didn't take place as such. Everything, or most of that, was a great television show for everyone to think there was a war there. Of course Alfred must have been doing something but it wasn't exactly a war, he only started to impose himself in that place, since it was his new objective, no longer the communists, no longer Russia: the Middle East.

But the Gulf War was frowned upon, both outside and inside the country, and this made him realize that if he wanted to steal Iraq's oil, something bigger must happen so no one would doubt it.

This idea would be transformed into something very real, something that he would regret all his life.

-The Twin Towers and the Invasion to Iraq:

After the conflict, the UN imposed on Iraq a severe embargo that produced serious social and economic disruption in the country. In July 1992, British and American planes took off from Turkey and burned crops in Iraq. On June 30, 1993, the United States bombed Iraq in retaliation for an alleged conspiracy to assassinate George Bush. From December 16 to December 19, 1998, United States and the United Kingdom carried out a series of bombings on Iraq, which they called "Operation Desert Fox."

But none of this satisfied them, they wanted more, and soon he would have the excuse, although this would condemn Alfred forever.

The United States was in economic crisis, and he wasn't well off since the Gulf War, so, his leaders proposed something, something that he accepted, but it would generate a trauma so big that he would never forgive himself.

.

That day seemed like any other. Nothing special in reality, he knew what would happen, he knew what it meant, and yet he expected it, worried. And then it happened. His world burst into screams and suddenly, a sepulchral silence. He sucumbid.

Before his eyes, the towers fell, and he couldn't help but be horrified. How could that be forgiven, he never would. Horrified, he didn't speak anymore.

He blamed some supposed terrorists shot by Iraq, but he knew the truth, and couldn't live with it. It was not the first time he sacrificed and created a tragedy to justify some of his wars or invasions, he had done it before, when he entered the first war, when he entered the second war, and many more, this...

From that moment, he made a vow of silence, in which he didn't talk to anyone for a year. He couldn't.

In 2003, he called for an invasion on Iraq, believing he was strong to face him, but he couldn't. When he faced the invasion, and saw the poor innocent people, all at the expense of his own people, the only thing he could do was cry inconsolably. An Iraqi woman who his soldiers had murdered her family approached him and stroked his hair. إنها إرادة الله (It's the will of God ) the woman told him and he just wanted to cry more, because it wasn't true. It was all his fault. How cruel life was, now he saw it.

The excuse to invade poor Iraq was that he possessed "chemical weapons of mass destruction", weapons that were never found and that he knew they would not find. There weren't any, it was only to destroy Iraq and steal his resources, in addition to having hegemony in the region. That simple

Invade Iraq was a mistake for him of a big magnitude, and something new would start from it. The board began again.

After invading Iraq and getting involved with Afghanistan for similar reasons, the word "Bush" became an insult to him. He would never forgive himself even if he kept doing the same.

-The Seven Wars of the Peace Era:

When he was going to raise his new president, the United States, still affected by what he had done, had faith in him. He was going to be the first black president after all, and although he was still a racist, he wanted a new beginning, he really wanted it. So when his new President Obama came up, he had faith in him and believed that he would start over again, in a more peaceful era. But he cannot be more wrong. As much as he was black and had the Nobel Peace Prize, he sent Alfred to seven different conflicts, seven wars: in the territories of Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq and Syria, the United States created conflicts, financed coups d'état (Arab Spring), created terrorist groups that he later feigned to destroy, and once again interfered with Russia, during the Crisis of Crimea, where he got involved with his sister, Ukraine, financed a coup d'état to his president and put a pro-American president, and took advantage of the situation to create conflicts with Russia and separate him from his sister. The worst thing was that he succeeded: Ukraine is now one of his allies.

The war against terrorism was a facade. No terrorist was more than mercenaries paid by them to make people confuse and not see that what they really did was invade countries, overthrow their governments and take away what they wanted. If he was honest with himself, the only real terrorist group was NATO, that international military group led by him that since it had emerged the only thing he was looking for was to generate wars, not peace.

All terrorist attacks were no more than groups managed by them to create confusion and all this with one objective: to steal the oil of the countries that have it and sell it to the hedonists of the Europeans corporations. For that reason also he fights with Venezuela, since she has petroleum but she doesn't think to deliver it to him so easily. That's why he hates her, and generates false rumors about her. In general, get involved with any country that is economically independent of them and has resources. It has always been that way, but even for him things get complicated.

The truth is that despite being the unbearable master of the world, even his allies' look at him with suspicion, like France, that time he discovered the United States spying on one of his meetings with his bosses. He has no respect for anyone, nor for his allies, he will mess with want, when he wants and will do what he wants, words of his own "Nobel Peace Prize president".

He had really accomplished it, controlled the world. Since he became a power, he had managed to capture them all. The so-called passive invasion. Everyone watched his films, Hollywood and Disney, all imitated him, everyone thought like him. They had been culturalized, and yet something always remained, because none of his things were real, they were always empty. However, when "He" came up as president, he must have been happy. He was the model president: racist, ignorant, evangelical. But he wasn't fully happy. In fact, it was too perfect. When "He" was president, although he expected it, his first instinct was to run and escape. With "Him", his bad relationship with his brother Mexico and the wall that divided them at his initiative was rekindled. That wall was there because, they said, Mexico passed drugs to him. This was a bit hypocritical knowing that USA controlled the drug market in the world. But even if it were true, if Mexico did it, it was he who bought it and it was his fault. Mexico, the wall, the world, he detested them all. Although he was always talking about the Berlin wall, he had his own wall with his own brother. And someday he would face the truth: the walls are made to break.

And so goes the Cowboy life, struggling with Russia and his new rival, China, indignant about North Korea doing something or anything, when he had thrown two atomic bombs, he had invaded more countries than anyone, he generated wars, he made autoattacks, and he had more military bases in the world than anyone. And he is the master; he is the powerful, but not the richest and who really makes the decisions. He defends interest. He responds to those who never wanted to leave his power: England always tells him what to do, he who never stopped being the big head of everything, and Israel. He (United States) is the militarized arm of Europe, sometimes is said.

It was said that by 2050, the language most spoken in him would be Spanish. This fact was ironic. Deep down he didn't know what to think. He didn't like the idea, but he doesn't hate it either. He would always speak English equally, just as Canada would always speak French nonetheless.

Every time he was asked why, why everything was like that, why he let himself be this way, every time he got caught doing his thing, his excuse was: I never met my mother. That, so empty and meaningless.

In moments of self-observation, he looked at his people. To them who supported him. And suddenly they seemed strange to him. Many of them were proud to be Americans. But what was such a thing? Was it to be descendants of immigrants? Of the first settlers? Of slaves? Native Americans? Which of them all were Americans? If we are to the case, the true Americans were the natives, all the rest were immigrants from all over the world, England, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Asia and Africa. And it was there when he learned that being an American was to possess everyone. He had the blood of the whole world. It was like a big ark. And even so, he hated the outsiders so much, and more in this time of crisis with "Him" in command. And when he looked at African-Americans, he wondered if they were aware that, in that homeland in which they believed, he had enslaved them, and torn them from their ancestral home. He wondered if they still are aware that their western surnames were imposed on them by slavers. And he was concentrating of their blood ran in his. He knew he was a mixted of cultures and ethnicities. There are no American surnames because all surnames have their origin elsewhere. And even then he was so xenophobic.

And so the cowboy goes for life, without wanting to realize it, without wanting to remember and at the same time, wanting to do it. His heart weighs him down, he weighs him for Japan, who knows he did him big pain, for Lakota, his beautiful Lakota, that he never forgot and will never forgive himself. For Vietnam, that with a stern but compassionate look, a look that fills him of guilt and remorse. And his Latin American brothers and all the evil he did to them. And Mexico and the wall, how much he loves him in the background. And feel to everyone who he mistreated and still does, he even felt a little bad for Russia. In the background he feels as a monster.

"There are no good or bad people. There are people raised in different environments in which they believe" the thinker Jacque Fresco had said, and he felt that way. "We should not be looking for heroes, we should be looking for good ideas" Noam Chomsky had said. And someday he will remember it. He will remember all this and he will notice. Maybe, one day, he will fulfill his promise, and give flowers to Davie.

Ugh ... it's longer than I thought. The truth, I was surprised how long I did this, being the chapter of Japan shorter when its history is a thousand times longer, but I guess it was because this story continues to this day.

The truth is that it was not very difficult to do Alfred but it was tiring. In my country there are many Americans (or unitedstatesians as I prefer to refer to them) and I have friends who are from there, so I had help, I admit it.

-Biographic sources: Wikipedia attachments, Documentaries, book Confessions of an economic hit man, and book The gulf war did not take place.

-Films that I saw to put me in context: The New World, Django Unchained, Young Guns, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, Wag the Dog, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Gran Torino, Hell or High Water, Captain Fantastic, among others. (All the movies that I see have a reason, most show some historical period or some facet of the American society, in this case.)

- Music that inspired me: Coolio Gangstas Paradise, Jazz, Blues, Fall Out Boy Twin Skeleton, Jailgouse Rock (Elvis Presley), I will survive (Gloria Gaynor), Guilty Al Bowlly, Iron Butterfly In a Gadda da Vida, White Rabbit Jefferson, I was made for loving you, Battlefield, Amerika (Rammstein), I need Hero (Bonnie Tyler), I have but one heart, country music in harmonica, Cookie thumper (I do not know why, it just reminds me of him), etc.

Well, I really hope you enjoyed it. Soon I will upload another chapter of another country.
