Between 1942 and 1943, {{I|USA}} USAball aided {{I|Soviet}} [[Soviet Unionball]] and landed in {{I|French North Africa}} [[French North Africaball]] via [[Operation Torch]]. It fought {{I|Japanese-Empire}} Japanball at Saipan, Guam, and Guadalcanal. It then liberated Philippinesball in 1945, after the [[Empire of Japanball]] captured Iwo Jima and Okinawa. It then helped land at Normandy on D-Day and Operation Dragoon in southern [[Vichy Franceball]]'s clay and crushed [[Kingdom of Italyball|Italyball]] with the Allies. [[Nazi Germanyball]] retreated with the disintegration of its best troops in [[Soviet Unionball]]'s clay and the prodigious resurrection of [[Free Franceball|Franceball]], which took its clay back and brought an enormous army to help the Allies invade it. By April 1945, USAball and Soviet Unionball were in Berlin and divided Nazi Germanyball's clay up after it committed suicide. They each adopted one of its children, with USAball adopting [[West Germanyball]] in 1948 and supplying it by air. ¶ Meanwhile, USAball used its atomic bombs on the [[Empire of Japanball]]'s cities, forcing it to surrender and ending World War II. USAball then offered the Marshall Plan to all Western European countryballs affected by the war. However, a new Cold War was looming between itself and the communist [[Soviet Unionball]]. [[Commonwealth of the Philippinesball|Philippinesball]] became independent, by the way.

USAball and Soviet Unionball became the only world superpowers at the end of World War II; they occupied the vacuum left by the former European powers, which, at the time, were destroyed by the war.

====== [[Cold War]], Arms Race, Space Race, and Civil Rights (1949 – 2000) ======
In 1950, USAball became involved in Korea, supporting [[South Koreaball]] against its [[North Koreaball|communist sibling]], who had the help of the newly communist [[Chinaball]]. USAball brought in [[NATOball]] members and [[UNball]], born in 1945, to help it. USAball also had to give its [[8ball]]<nowiki/>s rights in the 1950s and 1960s. The civil rights movement of the 8balls inspired the [[3ball|3balls]] to also claim its rights, with USAball giving them rights at the end of the 1960s. In 1962, its traitorous child [[Cubaball]] held [[Soviet Unionball]]'s nuclear weapons, which led to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, narrowly averting World War III. In 1964, after the Gulf of Tonkin incident, USAball became involved in Vietnam against [[North Vietnamball]]. It was accused of committing war crimes, such as the 1968 My Lai massacre. It was ultimately forced to pull out of Vietnam in 1973, leading to [[South Vietnamball]]'s eventual collapse in 1975. USAball also had a space race between itself and [[Soviet Unionball]]. They took off running but were beaten when USAball orbited around Earthball in 1962, then landed on [[Moonball]] in 1969. WMDs (Weapons of mass destruction) were of concern in the 1960s, and USAball protested against them in its Summer of Love hippy movement.

USAball, despite claiming to be a supporter of the "free world and democracy," helped establish right-wing dictatorships in Latin American countries in the 1960s and 1970s, one of the reasons why the country is still today called a hypocrite in international relations by other countries (especially by the Russians, when the Americans argue with it about its having placed communist dictatorships in Eastern Europe in the same epoch). However, the Latin American and Eastern European dictatorships were only overthrown in the 1980s by the people of these countries.

In the 1970s, ''détente'' reigned with the 1972 SALT I agreements being signed to limit the production of WMDs, which had destroyed Bikini Atoll in 1946. In 1974, meanwhile, USAball had some scandal around Watergate. Then, in 1979, Soviet Unionball invaded [[Republic of Afghanistanball (1973-1978)|Afghanistanball]]'s clay. USAball led a boycott of its 1980 Moscow Olympics in response, so [[Soviet Unionball]] led a 1984 boycott of USAball's Los Angeles Olympics and accidentally shot down a jetliner in 1983. The same year, USAball almost got into a nuclear war with Soviet Unionball twice! USAball, [[UKball]], frenemy [[Chinaball]], and distant friend (yeah, right.) [[Pakistanball]] supported the Mujahideen in Afghanistanball against Soviet Unionball. In 1987, its economy crashed on Black Monday. However, in 1988, Soviet Unionball effectively lost the Cold War when the Iron Curtain began to disintegrate, and the [[Soviet Unionball|E]][[Bulgariaball|a]][[East Germanyball|st]][[Hungaryball|ern]] [[Bulgariaball|B]][[Albaniaball|l]][[Polandball|o]][[Czechoslovakiaball|c]] was dissolved in 1989. USAball said things like, "''Ich bin ein Berliner''," "Evil Empire," and "Tear Down this Wall!". However, USAball fought [[Iraqball]] in the Gulf Wars of 1991 and 2003. The 1990s was also the decade USAball was attacked directly and indirectly by Al-Qaedaball:

# In 1993 when Al-Quedaball bombed the World Trade Center.
# In 1996 when Al-Qaedaball attacked the Khobar Towers in [[Saudi Arabiaball]].
# In 1998 when Al-Qaedaball bombed USAball's embassies in [[Kenyaball]] and [[Tanzaniaball]].

In response, USAball failed to kill Al-Qaedaball with cruise missiles. Then, in 1999, it avoided the Y2K bug, returned the [[Panama Canal Zoneball]] to [[Panamaball]], and celebrated the arrival of the New Millennium in 2001.

====== New Millennium (2001 – present) ======
Earthball celebrated the arrival of the New Millennium as all countryballs look forward to a prosperous and hopeful future. Nope, no one made no flying cars nor instantly predicted weather, but it didn't matter. However, the hope of a peaceful decade would not last for long.

On September 11, 2001, Al-Qaedaball [[9/11|destroyed the World Trade Center's twin towers]] in [[New York Cityball]] and attacked the Pentagon near [[DCball]]. [[Franceball]] tried to mobilize oriental balls against terrorist groups based on its clay and put its veto on USAball's project to invade [[Ba'athist Iraqball]], interpreting it with insight as a desire for oil orgy. As a vendetta, USAball began a moral bashing game against [[Franceball]] and declared war on Terror, going into the Middle East and invading <s>and puppeting</s> [[Islamic Republic of Afghanistanball|Afghanistanball]] and [[Iraqball]]. In 2005, USAball got hit by Hurricane Katrina, making it the deadliest hurricane to hit USAball ever. USAball was also busy hunting kebab terrorists such as ISISball and Al-Qaedaball. The latter was killed in 2011 while hiding in [[Pakistanball]]'s clay. USAball and its [[NATOball]] allies intervened in [[Libyan Arab Jamahiriyaball|Libyaball]]'s multiple personality disorder the same year. USAball then gave same-sex couples rights and tried to hide its corruption. In 2014, USAball and [[Cubaball]] reconciled for the first time in almost 50 years. Then, In 2016, USAball's conflicted behavior met a new conclusion and a period of uncertainty. In that year's election, an unexpected winner had shocked Earthball around it. Things began to change on the global stage.

In 2017, USAball and [[NATOball]] engaged in ISISball, Boko Haramball, remnants of the followers of Al-Qaedaball, and Talibanball. It also indirectly teamed up with long-time rivals like [[Russiaball]] in fighting the [[Türkiyeball|kebabs]]. However, it has been said that many of the problems today are USAball's fault.

On August 17, 2017, a white supremacist rally took place in Charlottesville as White Nationalist groups attacked counter-protesters (even at first, it was a protest against taking down a Robert E. Lee statue). And a car rammed into anti-racist protesters, killing one person and injuring 19 people.

On August 23, 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit southern [[Texasball]] that flooded [[Houstonball]] and other cities with more than the yearly average rainfall of more than 50 inches. In addition, Hurricanes Irma, Jose, and Maria hit [[Floridaball]], [[Puerto Ricoball]], and [[United States Virgin Islandsball|Virgin Islandsball]].

On October 1, 2017, a shooting occurred in [[Las Vegasball]], as 58 people were killed and 489 injured, the deadliest shooting in USAball by a lone person.

On December 14, 2017, the FCC voted to repeal net neutrality. It intended to repeal it even more to make more profit. However, little did the FCC know that this would mess up the economy.

In December 2019, USAball caught Donald Trump in a major scandal with [[Ukraineball]]. The House of Representatives impeached him, but the Senate acquitted him.

A new decade emerged, but it was off to a terrible start: World War III almost occurred due to [[Iranball]] and Trump.

On January 20, 2020, a mysterious new virus called SARS-CoV-2 spread to USAball. Trump's reaction to it was poor, and it spread exceptionally quickly in successive waves. Finally, after WHOball declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, almost all schools shut down in USAball and Earthball.

On May 26, 2020, George Floyd, an 8ball, was killed during an encounter with police in [[Minneapolisball]]. Many protests broke out all over the country. [[Portlandball]] suffered exceptionally brutally from the demonstrations.

As the 2020 election neared, many Americans took sides. Joseph Biden was confirmed the winner by many sources. However, President Trump called the election rigged and began a campaign to overturn the results. Eventually, after a rally led by Trump, its supporters [[2021 storming of the United States Capitol|marched on the Capitol and broke inside]] in a final attempt to confirm a victory for Trump; however, it failed, only causing more Republicans to support Biden. As a result, he was impeached ''again'', making him the first and only US President to be impeached twice. But, like the first time, the Senate acquitted him.

President Joseph Biden was inaugurated on January 20, 2021, having lots of damage to fix. Slowly, Biden made vaccines available to everyone at least five years old. Unfortunately, US weather also became very crazy, including powerful hurricanes, snow in Las Vegasball, fires in Californiaball and Oregonball, and record-high summer temperatures in much of USAball's clay.

Sometime later, USAball and [[Russiaball]] did a deal on nukes, making it the newest WMD Agreement ever.

In the first half of 2021, the delta variant of COVID-19 from [[Indiaball]] wreaked havoc on USAball. In August, it started to weaken as more people got vaccinated. Then, unfortunately, a new variant—Omicron—emerged from [[South Africaball]]. It became so extreme that some schools in its clay shut down.

On August 15, 2021, Taliban forces marched into [[Kabulball]]'s clay and took it, ending the 20-year conflict in US defeat.

On December 25, 2021, USAball launched the James Webb Space Telescope to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope. The James Webb Space Telescope is a significant improvement to Hubble, and USAball plans to get it in action very soon.

In January 2022, the omicron variant began to weaken. Unfortunately, Joe Biden's popularity decreased rapidly, partially due to inflation and removing troops from Afghanistanball's clay. In addition, if one war wasn't enough, Russiaball looked like it would invade Ukraineball, so USAball called up NATOball to counter this.

Unfortunately, USAball's worst dreams came true when Russiaball invaded Ukraineball on February 24, 2022. USAball joined [[EUball]] and others in sanctioning Russiaball. Joe Biden then delivered a State of the Union address as USAball ramped its sanctions on Russiaball. Meanwhile, the James Webb Space Telescope has been getting ready for use. Its first images are already out!

When USAball sanctioned Russiaball, its oil prices skyrocketed to record-high levels. They're decreasing, though.

In May 2022, a Supreme Court paper was leaked; the report revealed the Supreme Court's plan to overturn Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade was a Supreme Court decision to protect abortion. The ''exposé'' was met with outrage.
