The Dutch were the first colonizers of New York City. They landed in 1614 and established "New Amsterdam."
Eventually, in 1664, the Dutch would cede New Amsterdam to the English who would rename is New York.
Still, many of New York's oldest and richest families are descendants of the early Dutch colonizers.

The United States emerged from World War 1 as a leading <u>economical</u> nation. At the end of the war, the U.S. was part of the group which was not as devastated as other ones, because they are a Industrial country and during the war they continued producing at levels much higher that before, the increases did not stop. Their mobilization was extraordinary. It is important to say that the U.S. sent around 200,000 persons to fight, who were just enough to have impact, because France, for example, was sending more than 2,000,000 persons. <u>Spending not as much as the other countries</u> who were fighting and still making what they needed, helped them to grow up.
This is an opinion based question. The way to handle this is too look at the things they did such as the passing of the tea and stamp acts. Then consider if it was fair.
Personally I don’t think it was fair because the colonists didn’t have representation in England in parliament.
