The United States of America, also known as the United States, was a former nation of Earth.[2] "America" and "American" are also terms used in reference to the United States.
History
Early history
In 1775,[3] the United States Marine Corps was founded, elements of which would be passed down to the UNSC Marine Corps.[3][4]
The "first" American Civil War was fought from 1861-1865. One of the factions was the Union army.[5]
20th and 21st-century
During World War II, Isoroku Yamamoto crippled the US Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor.[6]
At the end of the 20th-century, America was considered in a financial bubble.[5] By 1996, US Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Dean Mitchell was the 6th human being to have walked on Luna.[7]
The United States in the first years of the 21st-century served as the inspiration for a strategy and ethos the United Nations would use in the 22nd-century.[8] In 2004, Melissa, an Artificial intelligence from 2552, hijacked a portion of the US payphone infrastructure. This resulted in payphone calls by her to Alaska, Kentucky and Montana.[9]
Later history and the URNA
Lutheran Americans of Germanic descent would colonize Harvest.[10]
The political remnants of the United States would go on to be a part of the United Republic of North America.[1] The United States Marine Corps would at some point be defunct as well.[11]
