The history of the USA, the United States of America, is heavily influenced by emigrants and migrants, who have made the country what it is today. From the 17th century onwards, European settlers emigrated to North America, mainly from England, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands. They sought religious freedom, economic opportunities and a better life.
Immigration accelerated in the 19th century, especially during the Industrial Revolution. Millions of people from Ireland, Italy, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe came to the USA. They made a decisive contribution to the development of cities, railroads and factories. At the same time, the forced migration of millions of African slaves led to profound social conflicts, the effects of which can still be felt today.
In the 20th century, new waves of immigration from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean followed, further enriching the cultural diversity. Despite challenges such as discrimination and immigration restrictions, the USA is still a country characterized by migration and the pursuit of the “American Dream”.

Stars & Stripes
The **Stars and Stripes**, the flag of the United States, is one of the most recognizable symbols of the American nation. Its history begins on June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress decided to adopt an official flag during the War for Independence.
It originally consisted of 13 stripes in red and white, representing the 13 founding colonies, and a blue field with 13 white stars, representing united independence. As new states were admitted to the Union, the number of stars increased. Today, there are 50, symbolizing the current states, while the 13 stripes have remained unchanged to honor the original colonies.
The colors of the flag – red, white and blue – represent courage, purity and justice. The Stars and Stripes have played a central role in American history, from the Revolution to modern conflicts. They are a symbol of freedom, unity and the ideals of the United States that is recognized around the world. Flag Day, on June 14, honors their adoption and significance each year.
The Liberty Design
The Statue of Liberty, officially known as the “Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World”, is one of the most famous landmarks in the United States and symbolizes freedom and democracy. It was inaugurated in 1886 as a gift from France to the USA to mark the centenary of the Declaration of Independence.
The statue stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor and was designed by the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, while Gustave Eiffel designed the inner steel structure. With a height of 93 meters (including the base) and a torch that rises 93 meters above the water, it is an impressive monument. For immigrants in particular, the statue was a welcome sign of freedom and a new life in America.
Mount Rushmore is an iconic monument in the Black Hills of South Dakota, USA. It shows the heads of four important American presidents carved in rock: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
The monument was created between 1927 and 1941 under the direction of sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who had the idea of honoring the history of the United States through this gigantic representation. Each president was chosen because of their special contributions to the development of the country. Today, Mount Rushmore is one of the most famous landmarks in the USA and attracts millions of visitors every year.
Buffalo Design
The buffalo and the prairie of the United States are inextricably linked and play a central role in the history and ecosystem of the American West. The prairie, a vast, open grassland, stretches across much of the United States, particularly in the Midwest and Great Plains. This region is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, but the greatest icon of this ecosystem is undoubtedly the American bison, better known as the buffalo.
