After the Civil War, the United States experienced a boom in the economy. They entered the twentieth century as a powerful industrial power capable of competing with the leading European powers of that time (Russia, Great Britain, Germany, France). The First and Second World Wars also affected the United States, many Americans did not return from the battlefield.

The Great Depression, which lasted 10 years from 1929 to 1939, hit hard on the industry and economy of the United States. The end of the depression era was marked by a new economic course, chosen by 32 US President Franklin Roosevelt. The US government's military orders, which increased sharply with the outbreak of World War II and then the Cold War and operations in Vietnam, also contributed to the recovery of the American economy, which led to the transformation of the United States into a world superpower. The arms race was stopped only by the end of the 1980s.

Currently, the United States ranks fourth in the world in terms of territory (9.5 million km²), consists of 50 states, which are home to more than 300 million people of various nationalities from around the world. The US economy is considered the largest in the world in terms of GDP.
