The United States has been consistently gobbling up new territory for the last 241 years. Ever since the founders declared the 13 colonies independent from Britain, the US has acquired its 50 states through clever land deals and plunder. The current US map does not even include the 16 territories and hundreds of military bases spread throughout the world. With its extreme propensity for growth, the US has undoubtedly amassed the largest empire known to man. However, the US empire has hit its peak and is now unraveling quickly. For more detail on why this is the case, you can read an article I wrote here. The United States’ diminishing power will also diminish its ability to keep its impressive land mass intact.
Maps Are Constantly In Flux
Unbeknownst to many people around the world, maps are constantly being redrawn. Unless you have resided in a volatile region of the world, the chances of you experiencing this phenomenon would be slim. Although maps have been redrawn constantly throughout the history of civilization, the average human life is not long enough to witness it often, if at all. The rise and fall of societies is part of evolution, and evolution is an extremely slow process from the human perspective.

Nut case.
Not counting Russia, of course . . .

Is the author a “resident” of a mental institution?
“Nut case”.
Who are you referring to?
We picked up Hawaii and various Spanish colonies in 1898. Anything since then? Maybe you can count the canal zone, but that's gone now.
“Nut case”.
Please disregard my previous question of “Who are you referring to”..
241 years? What did we pick up recently? I must have missed that.
We’ll never know. The poster is a blog
pimp whose only comments on a thread are
addressed to himself. Hmmm... a blog
pimping self-talker. He might just be a nut case.
or Great Britain, China, Rome, Persia, Ancient Egypt and so on.
The British Empire was truly vast. Made our empire look like Rhode Island.
If by some crazy chance, our U.S. Constitution gets usurped and replaced with some Marxist system of government, then yes, because oppressed and repressed nations are very costly to centrally control.
If we continue to stay a Constitutional Republic and all this Marxist crap gets squashed by those who embrace and protect our freedoms, rights and Liberties, then I would call you a Nutjob! Marxism is Godless, Immoral and Self-destructive. Yet, the Obama admin., the Dem Party, 97% of the Media, Universities and certain Republican leaders continue to embrace it and peddle it, daily. I know which side Im on, Constitutional Conservatism, which do you choose? Semper Fi
If you eliminated the British, Chinese and Russian Empires we might edge into the top ten.
You don't know that, you don't know diddly.
Or China, or those Imperialists in Canada....
It's disappointing, though, that the guy who wrote this really didn't have much to say.
He just wanted to see his name in pixels, I guess.
Hopefully western California and the liberal northeast will secede and form their own socialist utopias.
We’ve given up the Panama canal zone and the Philippines since the 1940s.
My post was headed with this excerpt from the article ...
“the US has acquired its 50 states through clever land deals and plunder.”
The Philippines really don’t fit the description. ‘)
