United+States,+1910-2009

=United States, 1910-2010=

==Overview== This time period has calmed a lot since the previous time frame. There are still quirks that are involved that include the equal rights movements by gays, women, blacks, and so on. We also went through World War 1 and World War 2, Vietnam, North Korea, the Cold War, and so on. Our land use or state count also went up during this period. The common theme in all the time periods I went through are that we have had at least two or three conflicts or wars minimum we were/are involved in. Our map has only changed once though.

==Critical Issue== The central issue with our map during this time frame is not that we gained land by war like the other two. We just annexed the Alaska and Hawaii into the Union in 1960. We also annexed Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma in 1912, 1912 and 1907 They finally got annexed into the nation after politicians finally decided to let them in. They were always uneasy about it and finally gave it a rest. With the wars i mentioned earlier we gained a territory, but only temporarily as a way to block the spread of communism by the USSR. Germany who was the bad guys during World War 1 and 2 was split up after World War 2 the other half ==== was taken by Russia. In 1989 Germany was finally re-united.

==Conclusion== This time period was not much of a change in size of the U.S. We got five new states, and received a temporary territory, and could have gotten more, but we fave Japan back the islands that were originally in there country but not the ones they conquered or took over.
