Historcically, the Paleo natives migrated from Siberia to the North American continent at least 12,000 years ago, with advanced cultures appearing later. These advanced cultures had almost completely collapsed before European colonization arrived in the 16th century. The United States emerged from the thirteen British colonies when disputes with Great Britain over taxes and political representation led to the American Revolution (1765–1784) establishing the nation's independence. In the late 18th century, the United States began to expand across North America, gradually gaining new territories, sometimes through war, often causing Native Americans to relocate and occupy new states. By 1848, the United States stretched across the continent from east to west. Controversy over the practice of slavery culminated in the secession of the Confederacy, which fought the remaining Confederate states in the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the victory and preservation of the Union, slavery was abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment.

By 1900, the United States had become the world's largest economy, and the Spanish-American War and World War I had made it a world power. After the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States entered World War II on the side of the Allies. After the war, the United States and the Soviet Union became two world superpowers. During the Cold War, both nations fought for ideological supremacy but avoided direct military conflict. They also competed in the space race, culminating in the 1969 U.S. spaceflight, which put a man on the moon for the first time. At the same time, the civil rights movement led to legislation repealing state and local Jim Crow laws and other forms of codified racial discrimination against African Americans. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 ended the Cold War, making the United States the sole superpower in the world. The September 11, 2001 attacks led the United States to launch the War on Terror, which included the War in Afghanistan (2001-2021) and the War in Iraq (2003-2011).
