I believe that the United States had no imperialistic motives for entering WWII. Because Great Britain, Russia, and Germany all used to be empires at some point in their history, and they might have wanted to become empires again, whereas America had no such wishes.
The Articles of Confederation were signed by the Congress in November 15 1777 and sent to individual States for ratification. But final ratification was delayed due to a dispute between Virginia and Maryland over land claims that lasted four years. In 1781, Maryland aproved the Articles and they became the Nation guidance until the implementation of the Constitution in 1789.
Martin Luther was a leader of the Reformation in <em>Germany</em>.
Hope this helps
