The history of the United States of America has periods of the development which from the first site are different, but if we take a closer look, they have something in common. In 1940, this country had economic and political conditions that were provided by great depression that happened as a result of overproduction of goods and lack of money to buy those same goods. Something like that we can observe in 2012 when the world faced the economic crisis four years ago. In social aspect, there are changes that related to the human rights and position of the family in society. The cultural changes specifically occurred among young population.

One of the most important changes is ability to sell products not only locally, but all over the country due to the system of transportation. However, the spread of multinational retailer corporations like Walmart closed many small businesses.
Such country as the United State of America was always seeking to spread their influence to the rest of the world. The U.S policy has tried to get out to the world stage in the role of leader. Now, the policy is trying to keep this position by using any opportunities. Today, American troops are located in many countries of the Europe and Middle East. Policy is aimed to introduce American soldiers in all armed conflicts of the world. Another significant change is that America was not so dependent from the oil of other countries. The production of oil was mostly concentrated in America. In 2012, the United States of America is the biggest …
