How Britain Accidentally Created America

Before the United States became 50 states, it was just 13 colonies scattered along the Atlantic coast and ruled by distant empires. 🇬🇧
This is the story of how those colonies were founded, how their borders were drawn, and how they fought to break free and create a new nation. From the age of exploration to the American Revolution, this episode uncovers how conflict, trade, and ambition shaped the birth of the United States.
