North and South America were originally a whole, at the periphery of the civilized world.
Its geographical environment doomed its loneliness.
Like Australia and New Zealand, these areas are surrounded by the sea. When navigation technology fails to reach a high level, it can only be developed independently. Failure to communicate with other civilizations is doomed to slow development.
It has similarities with Europe and Asia, but there are also differences.
It is also different from the proximity between Africa and Europe.
Looking back at world history, why are the main prosperous regions of civilization and economy in Europe, Asia and Africa?
The answer is only because they are very close. This is not to say that they are like a chicken, a dragon or a boot as a whole.
It has a large enough area and rich enough products, so it has raised enough people.
But these are not enough, because recently Europe, Asia and Africa have avoided loneliness, the biggest killer of civilization, and have been promoted through exchanges.
In contrast, the Mayan civilization was born in America, but it was precisely because of the geographical environment that the Mayans looked around and had no friends in the vast sea.
Maya, lacking the spark of civilization diversity, accumulated slowly in a long time. If it is lucky enough, it may be able to cross Alaska northward, cross the Bering Strait and communicate frequently with Eurasia today.
Unfortunately, however, from South America to North America, the climate is getting colder and colder, and Maya has to continue to be lonely.
At this time, people in Europe, Asia and Africa are having frequent cultural, military, scientific, technological and ideological exchanges. In various forms such as religious exchange, commerce, war and technology circulation.
Another answer:
On the planet of enlightenment, three close continents are better than two continents and one isolated continent.
This is what geography tells us. Geography has a pruning effect on the overall appearance of human society and even on human individuals.
So, why did the United States, the world's number one, come from behind?
The answer lies in man's own progress.
And people, why are they making rapid progress?

After the Mesozoic era (252 million years ago to 66 million years ago), such landforms were formed in North and South America.
Although this picture is modern, it doesn't hinder understanding, like a long snake winding, so lazy and so cute.
Waiting for the arrival of mankind.
We compare it to a snake because there are ancient documents in China.
It is rich in copper, lead, zinc, tin, gold, silver, oil, coal, sulfur, saltpeter and other mineral resources, separating the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean.
It is called Cordillera Mountain System and is the "Long Mai" of North and South America.
It starts from Alaska in the north and reaches Tierra del Fuego in the south, stretching about1.5000 km. It runs through the western part of North and South America.
Its mountains are divided into northwest-southeast, north-south and northeast-southwest.
It is not difficult to understand why the East Coast is the first to get rich, more prosperous and so on.
There are vast plains and rivers here.
However, in the eyes of the ancient people in China, the Cordillera Mountains were never called Long Mai, but land snakes or snake veins.
It is not difficult to understand a large number of documents left by cultural legends. It has neither horns nor claws.
It is obviously inappropriate to call it a dragon.
Then, it is not appropriate to apply a lot of knowledge about China and Long Mai here.
However, the Cordillera Mountains are never simple.
Since the Mesozoic era, it has undertaken the major tasks entrusted by the earth.

Time seems to have changed everything.
People in Eurasia have the ability to sail and kill more efficiently.
In human society, the turning point of the weather seems to mean that the accumulation of some ideas and technologies has reached a considerable amount, thus breaking out the innovation and invention of ideas and technologies.
I have to say that accumulation always takes time, and change must be brewed first.
The influence of weather on people on earth can be described as follows:
The earth and its partners, not alone, follow the sun in the galaxy and move in space. When it reaches any specific point in the galactic space, the physical space environment of the universe has undergone tremendous changes for the earth people, and the impact has occurred and the changes have come.
For the earth, the Milky Way will only specify the size of the energy level and the important place where it occurs, and the rest will be determined by the ability of the earth and the creatures on it to withstand transformation.
It's a gift. It's up to you.
In other words, if we must seek the truth of why the United States located in North America has made a fortune in the macro universe, the answer can only be that the operation of celestial bodies has reached a coincidental and inevitable position.
If you have to ask, where are those points?
At present, the answer only exists and can only be found in China literature, but it is not enough to convince modern people.
Otherwise, ancient astrology researchers should warn in advance in order to welcome it better.
It's time for the earth to wake up the snake vein. It is impossible to remain silent. Otherwise, the earth person with only one center point is like a lame man walking on one leg. How can he continue to run fast in the universe?
Perhaps, only in a certain period in the future will we understand it in another scope.
That is, it is smaller than the macro universe and greater than technological innovation. In this range, why does the American snake vein on the other side of the earth have to wake up at this time? However, the truth is that it did wake up.

America was discovered.
America and the Pacific Ocean were finally discovered by Europeans.
The first European to discover the Pacific Ocean was the Spaniard Basco &; Middot nunes &; middotde & amp； middot； Balboa.
He named the Pacific Ocean the South China Sea.
Magellan changed that. Since then, this vast area has been called the Pacific Ocean.
Europeans didn't know before.
Now it's all boats
? It was September 15 13 10. Later, balboa, who was called "Panamanian Conqueror" by Europeans, took him to recruit soldiers. Almost all the armed men in the colony, including 190 soldiers, began his long journey.
"Starting from Cowiba, where Sheikh Careta is located, through the swamp jungle at the equator. On the evening of September 25th, the indigenous guide pointed to a nearby mountain peak and told balboa that the unknown South China Sea (Pacific Ocean) could be seen from that mountain peak.
Balboa asked 67 people who could make progress to climb the mountain, while the others rested in the same place.
When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, balboa told everyone to stop. He walked to the top of the mountain alone, and no one was allowed to follow.
This new unknown ocean is in balboa's eyes. For many years, Columbus and all his descendants have been looking for this ocean, but they have failed. Balboa is witnessing this. "
? Road Map of balboa Crossing the Panamanian Strait
From When the Stars Shine
For Europeans at that time, the discovery of the Pacific Ocean meant that America was not only a backward America, but also the gateway and base to the "new world".
Great geographical discoveries have updated the ideas of Europeans.
People manage the land, and the land manages the sky.
Do you understand this sentence now?
The colonial period came crashing open.
However, on the enlightenment planet earth, if it is found to be too big, it is not a reward.
If it comes too big, the bearer can only collapse.
Perhaps this is one of the mysterious reasons that can still touch people's hearts.
I found balboa in the Pacific Ocean and went home to see him with the guillotine. Just like Copernicus, Columbus and Magellan.

The United States was lucky, but the aborigines living in the United States at that time were extremely unfortunate.
Perhaps the first person to discover America was an Asian whose name was unknown.
After that, tens of thousands of people crossed the Bering Strait and immigrated to America.
They don't know that thousands of years later, their descendants are called "aborigines" and "Indians".
What they don't know is that the arrival of the guests brings destruction and pain, but they can only bear it slowly.
Kindness, no matter who announces it, is empty talk until great discovery.
Descendants of Asia and Europe meet again on the American continent.
The Italian Columbus was finally appointed by the Spanish royal family after hitting a wall everywhere. In Columbus Discovering the New World in 1492, he led the Spanish fleet to open a colonial era characterized by rape, robbery and slaughter, and brought 150 years of "genocide" to the indigenous Indians in Latin America.
He has been promoted as a hero in Europe, but look at what the Indians on the victim side say.
Chavez said at the American Indian Congress held in Caracas, Venezuela:
"Christopher & Middot; Columbus was the pioneer of the greatest aggression and genocide in human history. "
This fanatical _ _ disciple returned to Spain on1504165438+17, and was regarded as a hero in Europe at that time. He died in1May 506.
It is so short-lived, a year and a half of "warrior", lived 55 years old.
Until his death, he thought he had gone to the legendary east indies &; Mdash& ampmdash Today's Southeast Asia.
However, Southeast Asians did not escape another robbery.
Portuguese Ferdinand &; Middot Magellan, as the second European to discover the Pacific Ocean, led the Spanish fleet on Magellan's voyage and fought the Filipinos halfway.
At the age of 41.
What does he want to do to Filipinos?
This is a self-evident answer.
The geographical discovery of America and the Pacific brought by Columbus and others not only brought about the long-term slaughter and colonization of America, but also laid the groundwork for the slaughter and colonization along the Pacific coast in the future.
For this article, it paved the way for the struggle of the colonial regime.
At this time, however, China is particularly powerful.
In1405&; During the period of mdash 1433, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, made seven voyages to the Western Seas, which was the largest and longest voyage of China in ancient times, and also the largest series of maritime expeditions in the world history before the voyage of European geographical discovery at the end of 15.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, British, French and other foreigners. It troubled China overseas, but only then did we know that it really brought a painful history of humiliation to the Chinese nation.
As mentioned above, if people themselves do not make rapid progress, whether they are as passionate as fire or as harsh as ice, they are equally miserable, because for the disadvantaged, they are always so desperate.

Colonists from Europe replaced the aborigines and became the most active nation on this continent.
Ancient cloud, geography, justice.
The weather determines the right place, and the right place determines people's hearts.
The movement of the earth in the universe, what it encounters determines the changes of mountains and rivers on the earth, the changes of climate, and the changes of people's thinking, emotions and methods.
Perhaps, there are indeed conscious activities in America that humans don't understand, and it exists with its unique frequency?
Or is there consciousness in the form of collective unconsciousness?
This question should not be answered for a long time to come.
Only in every country, there are legends about this, and quite a few people recognize it.
When the colonial government tried to transform American geography, it ushered in a war between colonists, which was also the second human civil war in the United States.
1523, King Charles I of Spain proposed to build a Central American canal between North and South America.
This statement seems to make sense:
The landform of America determines that if we want to make an efficient traffic connection and open the traffic artery between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, the best solution is to open the Panama Canal.
? Before that, there was no Panama Canal, only the isthmus of Panama.
The isthmus of Panama is the isthmus of Central America, extending from the Costa Rican border to the Colombian border, with a total length of about 640 kilometers, connecting North and South America.
It is conceivable that this is a huge and arduous project.
1534, King Carlos I of Spain ordered an inspection of the isthmus of Panama. However, the Spanish only paved a post road through the isthmus with pebbles along the ridge.
Later, starting from the18th century, the Spanish colonial government sent personnel to explore four alternative sites:
The isthmus of Teventepec in southern Mexico;
Somewhere in northwestern Colombia near atrato river;
Isthmus of Nicaragua;
The isthmus of Panama.
Around the middle of this snake vein, the battle began. What a coincidence.
America was born.
As a result of the war, one new country after another appeared in North and South America.
They are Argentina, Bahamas, Belize, USA, Bolivia, Brazil, Barbados, Canada, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Venezuela, El Salvador, Ecuador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, Suriname, Dominica, Dominica and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
seven
177 1 year, the final stage of exploration was completed, and the Spanish successfully mapped the isthmus of Tewantepec.
At this time, the Spanish government should have been able to determine the most suitable location by comparison, which is the isthmus of Panama.
Coincidentally, the American War of Independence broke out.
1775 &; Mdash 1783, which started with the shooting in Lexington in April, 1775. 1776 On July 4th, the Continental Congress adopted Thomas &; middot； Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, which announced the birth of America.
Got such a result.
America is about to become North and South America, and the connection point in the middle is the Panama Canal, which is about to be dug.
North America is mainly composed of the United States, Canada and Alaska, and Alaska belongs to Russia.
? In this era, we can see that the snake vein began to fulfill its mission because of the arrival of weather and the imminent change of geographical environment. Mdash& ampmdash; The central point of cultivating a new human being.
If it is more acceptable to the general public, it should be written as follows: Due to the upcoming geographical changes, the colonists and their descendants living in North and South America have changed their minds. They are no longer wronged. They want independence and regain autonomy from Britain, France and Spain. So they say freedom.
Europe also cooperates with it.
Thanks to the help of the French, the United States won the war of independence and began the road of annexation.
1803, the United States bought Louisiana from France.
18 19, the Americans seized Florida from the Spanish.
From 65438 to 0845, Florida became the 27th state in the United States.
1846, the United States stood out and set foot on the right to develop the Panama Canal.

Looking back at the prosperous history of the United States, it is incredible coincidence, as if the whole world is cooperating accordingly.
It wants to build a country, and contradictions among European countries have erupted, and some countries are willing to support it. It wants to expand and European countries have sold their land for various reasons. It wants to get rich and find gold mines. It believes that the population, Europe, Asia and Africa are all receiving blood transfusions. It needs to be strong. Everyone is at war.
Those who used to be far better than it have rapidly declined.
Perhaps it can be said that the history of the United States is a history of geographical returns, closely surrounding the expansion of canals and territories, from nothing to the founding of the country, from the founding of the country to the world, and becoming a regional power.
Geography has changed American territory, wealth, politics, ideology, military affairs, life and so on.
But it was not until the Panama Canal was really dug up that the United States experienced two leaps: becoming the richest country after World War I; Become the most powerful country after World War II.
Yes 19 14. /kloc-in August of 0/5, the trial of Panama Canal was completed. At this time, Europe has just started the First World War.
The Panama Canal was dug by the French. It was not until1903165438+10/8 that Americans finally got rid of the disputes in Britain, France, Colombia and other countries. During this period, they used economic, military, political and other means to sign the US-Pakistan Treaty with Panama, which won their own support.
1920 June 12, Panama Canal was officially opened to traffic.

For the convenience of understanding, let's briefly introduce it first.
0 1
The United States was originally a whole, on the edge of the civilized world. There is no America at this time.
02
Because of the geographical environment, the United States is developing slowly.
03
Time has changed everything. The weather enabled some people (Europeans) to sail and kill people more efficiently, and America was discovered.
04
Colonists from Europe replaced the aborigines and became the most active nation on this continent.
05
The colonial government tried to transform American geography, which ushered in the civil war of colonists and the second human civil war in the United States.
06
As a result of the war, America was divided into North and South America, and the area connecting North and South America was called Central America. One country after another has appeared on this ancient continent. America was born.
07
The United States annexed land through war and purchase. With the increase of land and population, the United States is becoming stronger and stronger, and it can go abroad and set foot in South America.
1846, the United States stood out and set foot on the right to develop the Panama Canal.
08
1867101October18, the United States bought Alaska from Russia, breaking through the British blockade.
09
1900, the United States acquired the overseas territory of Hawaii. America is finally no longer the America of North America.
10
The Panama Canal was dug by the French. It was not until1903165438+10/8 that Americans finally got rid of the disputes in Britain, France, Colombia and other countries. During this period, they used economic, military, political and other means to sign the US-Pakistan Treaty with Panama, which won their own support.
The trial of Panama Canal was completed in August 19 14, and it was officially opened to traffic in June 12 and 1920.
1 1
During the American sea trial,1965438+on July 28th, 2004, mdash1918165438+1October1,World War I happened.
After World War I, the United States has become the most powerful country in the world at that time.
12
1939 September 1 to 1945 September 2 this period is during the second world war. After World War II, the United States became one of the countries with the strongest military power in the world and one of the only two superpowers.
10
Today, there are fifty states and one special zone in the United States.
? It is not difficult to understand that it consists of eastern region, western region, central region, an enclave (Alaska) and an overseas territory (Hawaii).
Analyzing the road to prosperity in the United States, if we discuss the relationship with geography, we can draw the following conclusions, and so on:
It is not determined by a mountain or a river, not even by North America, and not only by North and South America.
The most obvious sight is the whole America and the Pacific Ocean. On a larger scale, it is a vast area of Europe, Asia, America, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
The most unlikely conclusion to be overturned &; Mdash& ampmdash With the expansion of the geographical map, the United States gradually became stronger and finally ranked first in the world.
There are obvious time and geographical clues:
When Americans bought Alaska, their national destiny took a leap.
When you have Hawaii, take another leap.
After the canal was opened, the United States became one of the only two superpowers in the world.
Looking back at history, we should also be able to easily recall that Spain, France, Britain and the United States went abroad and increased their territory. In other words, this is another way to become a global power.
Some people have studied it in the past and called it maritime hegemony.
From the above process, we can know that its original appearance is actually like this:
When technology develops to allow people to cross a distance faster, change will happen; If the technology is unbalanced, the obviously weak party will become the object of plunder.
It can be inferred that when people can't control their inner desires, but have great advantages, the one-sided war within people, or the massacre, will repeat itself. How will the specific calculation formula of this advantage be drawn by later generations?
But at least, we can't let our nation stand on the weak side.

Summary:
Geographically, since the Yuan Dynasty, the central position of human society has undergone two major migrations, from Asia to Europe, and then from Europe to America.
These two migrations and three themes show that in different geographical environments, the talents of human groups will be stimulated, thus creating a variety of ideas, inventions and lifestyles.
Therefore, it is reasonable to think that some traditional voices in China say that it is wrong to open a mountain and build a bridge. This view is incorrect.
Obviously, it is necessary for people to reshape nature, but they can only be cautious.
So it may be a mistake to have a landform change somewhere, and it is a mistake not to have a landform change.
Referring to the development of the United States and comparing the revival of China with the revival of Europe, we will find that it is precisely because our country has been committed to the transformation of the geographical environment since the founding of the People's Republic of China that our people have obtained more outstanding talents than in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and thus began to move towards revival. These three are very similar.
As for the investigation of the United States, perhaps we can also change a new angle, that is, the development of the United States is of great benefit to all mankind, and its continued development is still of great benefit to mankind.
However, we still need to seriously consider the answers to many new questions arising from this. For example, is there only one center in the world the best model of human society? As can be seen from the above statement, if there is no diversity of civilization, American Indians are a lesson from the past. Therefore, we can know that even from a global perspective, China's attempt to revive is still in the interests of all mankind. Some Americans, or people from other countries, should not continue to be narrow-minded and act as a stumbling block to the rapid development of mankind.
From the perspective of individual mind, no matter what period, only one central position does not meet people's expectations &; No one wants to live in a land that is too backward.

Questions and suggestions:
Maybe Europe's Caspian Sea, Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea should communicate more?
Maybe Asia and Europe should start to get through the Himalayas? Their significance lies not only in commercial circulation.
Is it possible that Trump's closure of the border with Mexico after he took office is a signal that Americans are over-inflated, or that Americans have lost the enterprising spirit of their ancestors?
Isn't it because of the change of geography, the increase of territory and the increase of population that the United States climbed to the top? Why does the United States refuse to add new territory?
The decisive factor is probably the economic thought of Americans after the war, and from the analysis of this paper, this has always been regarded as a great success of the United States, and this is precisely the current weakness of the United States.
Does Trump want to follow the path of the former president and go more fiercely, or does he take a hard-to-get strategy because he sees that the United States is dying? We prefer the latter.
