The ports of the West Coast of the United States have historically been very important for the development of the country. From the date of independence, when the country only had ports in the Atlantic Ocean, it was understood that bioceanity was crucial to convert a nation into an economic power. The American expansionist plans, based on the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, sought to reach the Pacific Ocean.
These ports allowed the United States to expand its commercial influence to the Pacific Ocean, extending its commercial network to nations such as Japan, China, India and Australia, among others, who over the years have become great commercial partners of our country.
Thanks to this commercial expansion, the United States also gained a great geopolitical influence, for which bioceanity played a fundamental role. Today, America is influential both in the Atlantic Ocean, which connects it with Europe, and in the Pacific Ocean, which brings it closer to the great Asian markets.
Which war? WWI: We were isolationists until illegal German U-boats sank a United States commercial ship called the Lusitania.
WWII: We were isolationists until December 7, 1941 when the Japanese air fleet surprise attacked and bombed us at Pearl Harbor.
Fundamentally African countries are an creation of europe. They have European languages because they are from europe!
