The history of the United States of America is well documented from 1492, with the arrival of Christopher Columbus, onwards. However, prior to 1492 there is very little information, therefore we can only confidently provide you with happenings after that time:
* The first European colony was established in St. Augustine Florida by Spain. It was burned down only 21 years into existence.
* The English seize the city of New Amsterdam from the Dutch and rename it New York.
* The French and Indian War against the English: English are the Victors and claim Canada and the American Midwest.
* Boston Massacre: English troops fire on a group of people protesting English taxes.
* The American Revolution: starts at Concord, Lexington and Massachusetts and lasts 6 years to finish at Yorktown and Virginia.
* War against the British in 1812 when DC is burnt down.
