the other day it occured to me that what if there wasnt a country called usa in this world,would it be better or worse that it is now i know this doesnt even look like a question,so take it as alternative history. would there be some other countries meddling in terrorism stuff? or before that would there even be terrorism? would communism become prevailing all over the world?that doent seem reasonable, how much has usa influenced our life?

The USA doesn't meddle in terrorism. In my opinion we are a great country and I consider myself lucky to live in the USA. We aren't perfect but we are human just like you and anyone else. The USA has a lot of accomplishments and things to be proud of but we also have a few that we are not so proud of but what country doesn't? That doesn't make us a bad country.

The existence of USA with its history of freedom and democracy, steer away from its mother country United Kingdom, it really play significant part in all of our lives. So, I couldn't imagine how the world gonna be like without a country called USA. Maybe the discovery of New World really mean something to us.

I think that if the USA didn't exist then Hitler might have actually won World War II. Then the whole world might be owned by Germany or Japan. Yes, some countries would be German and some would be Japanese. My home country would have been invaded my Germany in World War II. There wouldn't be any people involved with terrorism I imagine. The USA culture has spread over to other countries it would seem to me. I am an experienced traveler and I have been to more than fifty different countries. Shopping centers in my home country look rather American. We now have malls and drive in restaurants. I visited Pearl Harbor when I was in Hawaii. I found it sad but moving. If America hadn't experienced the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor then they wouldn't have joined forces with England in World War II. The Americans gave strength to fight against Hitler.

It won't be good or it won't be bad, just different because somebody would just take up the space to fill the power vacuum and God only knows how that nation would act and behave if it had the same influence and power. It just happened that we are alive today during the era of the U.S., but it's been like this throughout the history of man, probably if you were born during the time of the Roman Empire then you might be asking, what do you think if there was no Roman Empire? So it goes on and on as long as there are people, but one thing is sure, no dominance lasts forever, good or bad like your Chinese Dynasties, there are good dynasties and bad dynasties, long and short dynasties, but nothing lasted forever.

In reality the majority of us would not be alive without the USA. The country itself has helped many countries over the years in many battles and wars. An example of this is WW1 and WW2, without the USA Germany would of probably controlled the whole of Europe and we'd all be communist.

I believe that the existence of the USA is a fact of history, and I also believe that the existence of the USA is a historical necessity. But that I can not be believed until now is, why that most of the world life can be affeted by yhe USA. As if managing the world's only controlled by the USA. I think it's unfair.....the USA should also refrain from impolsing the will and culture on the other nations or do not try to always intervene to other nations. It would be wise if the USA did not do it all, even if they are able to do so. Our life and reality in the third worlds is influenced by the product, culture or policies of the USA....Is does not matter as long as it's good, but the fact also that there are many bad influences for us!

In my opinion,the United States represents a new continent,the old idea of its impact is tremendous .People migrate to where to build a new state ,and that is fortunate powerful country.This gives another place to provide a new way of thinking.Unfortunately ,the Indians have been killed completely ,This is a victim of the United States
