US States
The US states grew from a struggling British colony to the mighty, united country of today. After the War of Independence, at the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the world recognized a new nation - The United States of America. The original 13 US states were eventually joined by a further 37 to make a total of 50.
After the Civil War had tested the government's resolve and firmly cemented the Union the country prospered. However, in the 1930s the Great Depression sorely tried the people of the 50 states as unemployment reached a quarter of the nation's workforce. Setbacks test a nation's resolve and when the Second World War happened America was able to use its vast industrial base to produce the weapons necessary to win it.
