Abstract

The History of the United States of America is the story of man's determination and struggle to establish a definite and structured way of life, overcoming obstacles. A study of the chronological timeline of the History of U.S.A. details this fact and explains that the U.S.A. is today the world super-power mainly due to of the hard work, determination, and sacrifices of the generations past.The early notion that Christopher Columbus first reached the shores of America by crossing the Atlantic in 1492 C.E. has since long given way to the fact that the native-Americans or "Indians" as Columbus referred them to had settlements in America dating back around 20,000 years ago. These Indians probably crossed over through what is now the Bering Strait. Since then, many explorers like the Norse and the Arab states of North Africa have made forays into the Americas.
