      Fun fact, so was every other nation in the world that ever fancied itself important enough to compete with others. America is just the latest bully to come out on top.

      Well yeah, since its conception. Idk how much my perception of when Europeans became “Americans” is synonymous with historians, but… After the Europeans vastly destroyed the American population and took the name for themselves, Americans used violence to secede from English command. Iirc it was started by a plainclothes soldier shooting a soldier, starting a massacre.
