Revision as of 13:47, 4 October 2008

The United States of America, commonly the US, USA, America, or just The States, is a federal republic situated primarily in North America with several territories. It is bordered on the north by Canada and on the south by Mexico.

History

American Revolution and nationhood

Various taxes was imposed on the colonists as it was becoming increasingly difficult for the crown to pay for its military excursions and the defense of the American colonies from native uprisings. The colonists widely resented the taxes as they were denied representation in the British Parliament. A famous protest against the tax on tea was orchestrated at Boston, known as the "Boston Tea Party," in which the Ninth Doctor claimed to have participated (DW: The Unquiet Dead).

In 1775, the American Revolutionary War against colonial rule by Britain began. The Rani was present at some point during this conflict, and extracted brain chemicals from soldiers, using the violence to conceal her presence (DW: The Mark of the Rani).

American Civil War

The American Civil War was the war between the North and the South. Soldiers from this conflict where kidnapped by the War Lords for use in their war games. (DW: The War Games)

Fall

In (or close to) 2037 the Wars of Independence occured, breaking the United States up, and destroyed the city of Phoenix turning it into the 'Phoenix Sandbowl', (suggestions are it was a Tesla bomb which destroyed the city). (EDA: Alien Bodies NA: Christmas on a Rational Planet)

People and culture

U.S. popular culture had a significant influence on the rest of the Earth during the 20th and 21st centuries, especially in the Western world. U.S. music was heard all over the world, and included such forms as blues, jazz and rock and roll. As late as the final destruction of Earth during the expansion of its Sun, much of this music was still considered among the greatest ever composed by humanity (DW: The End of the World).

American DJs were well liked by The DJ of Tranquil Repose, who based his style of presentation on them. Peri Brown thought of "Tranquil Repose" as the sort of name for a place in America; the Doctor agreed but thought America of not having a monopoly on bad taste. (DW: Revelation of the Daleks)

Largest cities

New York City was destroyed during the 22nd century Dalek invasion (DW: The Chase), while Los Angeles was still a major global centre in the early years of the Earth Empire (DW: Frontier in Space).
