    This is my province. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
    My province is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
    My province, without me, is useless. Without my province, I am useless.
    I must attack hard with my province. I must attack harder than my enemy who is trying to pk me. I must pk him before he pk's me. I will...

    Ahem........

    On July 12, 1812, an invading American force of about 1,000 untrained, poorly equipped militia across the Detroit River and occupied the Canadian town of Sandwich (now a neighbourhood of Windsor, Ontario).

    By August, they retreated to Detroit, where they surrendered to a significantly smaller force

    The surrender not only cost the United States the village of Detroit, but control over most of the Michigan Territory.

    Several months later, the U.S. launched a second invasion of Canada.

    That is not strictly true. There has been wars between the USA and Mexico and there were plans at one time to invade Canada.

    Although many Americans don't believe it, science tell us that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old. So things that happened 200 years ago can be considered 'recently'.

    The first human skeleton would also be considered very recent.

    America itself is hardly over 200 years old. That didn't "recently" happen.

    basically after the world wars the majority of the world's economy was bombed to hell, while the us economy was relatively unscathed if not cranked up for the war effort, this allowed for the us to be the largest producer of a lot of consumer goods in demand on a world wide scale for a considerable amount of the 1900s. that bubble is close to or now now bursting as other countries are catching up economically.

    There is no continent called America.

    Here in the US, we use America as a short version for the United States of America. The rest of the world may continue going on pretending that America is a continent.
