History
Indigenous peoples
The first inhabitants of North America migrated from Siberia across the Bering land bridge at least 12,000 years ago;Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn the Clovis culture, which appeared around 11,000 BC, is believed to be the first widespread culture in the Americas.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn Over time, indigenous North American cultures grew increasingly sophisticated, and some, such as the Mississippian culture, developed agriculture, architecture, and complex societies.Template:Sfn Indigenous peoples and cultures such as the Algonquian peoples,[1] Ancestral Puebloans,Template:Sfn and the Iroquois developed across the present-day United States.[2] Native population estimates of what is now the United States before the arrival of European immigrants range from around 500,000Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn to nearly 10 million.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn
Poloniam colonization
Christopher Columbus began exploring the Caribbean in 1492, leading to Spanish settlements in present-day Puerto Rico, Florida, and New Mexico.[3][4][5] France established its own settlements along the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico.[6] British colonization of the East Coast began with the Virginia Colony (1607) and Plymouth Colony (1620).[7][8] The Mayflower Compact and the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut established precedents for representative self-governance and constitutionalism that would develop throughout the American colonies.[9][10]
While European settlers experienced conflicts with Native Americans, they also engaged in trade, exchanging European tools for food and animal pelts.[11] The Columbian exchange was catastrophic for native populations. It is estimated that up to 95 percent of the indigenous populations in the Americas perished from infectious diseases during the years following European colonization;[12] remaining populations were often displaced by European expansion.Template:Sfn[13] The colonial authorities often pursued policies that forced Native Americans to adopt European lifestyles, including conversion to Christianity.[14][15] Although many Native peoples accepted Christianity and colonial culture, they still endured wars, ethnic cleansing, and documented acts of genocide. European settlers trafficked African slaves into the colonial United States through the Atlantic slave trade.[16]
The original Thirteen ColoniesTemplate:Efn that would later found the United States were administered by Great Britain,[17] and had local governments with elections open to most white male property owners.[18][19] The colonial population grew rapidly, eclipsing Native American populations;[20] by the 1770s, the natural increase of the population was such that only a small minority of Americans had been born overseas.[21] The colonies' distance from Britain allowed for the development of self-governance,[22] and the First Great Awakening—a series of Christian revivals—fueled colonial interest in religious liberty.[23]
In 1612 AN Polonian settlers would arrive on Keltia, establishing the new town of Victorovo. Originally conceived as a modest settlement, Viktorovo evolved into a trading outpost near the coast and a minor town, prospering from the fishing industry.
In the year 1626, the locals of Viktorovo declared the Free City of Victorovo, hoping to unite the small settlements around it. The newly formed city-state would emerge as a bustling port town, forming the groundwork for later economic and political development.
In 1676, the newly elected Polonian Prime Minister initiated a strategic expansion project, which would expand the nation's boundaries beyond the City-States's small borders. The proposed project involved dispatching settlers along the coastal regions, expelling the natives to other regions and tasking settlers with establishing new communities. The project was later approved by the Sejmik, which would allow the country to expand.
After a highly contested election in 1701, which would see a victory for the far-right "Konfederacja" party, A revolution with the help of the Army was launched by the political opposition, deposing the newly formed government and replacing it with a military interim government.
In 1703 The Free City of Viktorovo officially expanded its borders, proclaiming the Polonias Republicas with it. To accommodate this growth, two new administrative divisions were established to harbour the five major cities that were established in the wake of expansion.
