The United States History During The World History

It’s very interesting to me when studying America history in the United States. When I lived in Viet Nam, I studied American history in the World History Program in high school. However, this program only focused on the history of America in the 20th century such as the Second Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and the Cold War. We studied very in detail about the Cold War because this event related to Viet Nam war. The Cold War was no large-scale fighting directly between the United States and Soviet Union. They are different in economy and politics which are communist and capitalist.

Now after reviewing Unit 1, I know they had to leave their own country to come to the United Sates for god, gold, and government. For example, The Pilgrims, who established Plymouth colony, fled to Holland in 1607to come to the New World to look for a freedom in religion in the New World. Moreover, the origin of the first people who came to the Americas is from Asia is a new idea to me.
