    Colonial history of the United States

    Aspect of history

    The colonial history of the United States covers the period of European colonization of North America from the early 16th century until the uniting of the Thirteen English Colonies and creation of the United States in 1776, during the Revolutionary War. In the late 16th century, England, France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic launched major colonization expeditions in North America. The death rate was very high among early immigrants, and some early attempts disappeared altogether, such as the English Lost Colony of Roanoke. Nevertheless, successful colonies were established within several decades. European settlers came from a variety of social and religious groups, including adventurers, farmers, indentured servants, tradesmen, and a very few from the aristocracy. Wikipedia

    Former colonies are territories that were once under the political control of a colonial power but have since gained independence or autonomy. This concept is closely tied to the expansion of imperialism, as the actions of colonial powers shaped the social, political, and economic landscapes of these regions, leaving lasting impacts long after independence was achieved.
