A Young Nation

The United States is comparatively young to other countries and past reigns of government. The United States is 231 years old and in contrast to past established governments like the Roman Empire, which reigned for over 1,000 years from 806 to 1806, and Iraq (Mesopotamia), which was formed in 4,000 B.C. We are a very young country. The United States is one of the most modernized countries in the world, yet countries that have been around longer are still struggling to establish some form of a cohesive society. The United States has its fair share of problems, but somehow we always seem to improve upon what our forefathers established in 1776, making this country great.
