To start learning USA history lets starts from ice age

 Till now five ice ages have arrived so far, (ice age is the time when ocean water become freezes), beyond twenty to twenty five thousand year ago, a group of people migrated from eastern coast of Asia to western coast of Alaska through Bering bridge, that connects Siberia to Alaska, later they moved to central America now called USA for hunting. After that world have no idea what happened to them. The last ice age was passed eleven year ago from today. When ice age was ended the connection between two landmasses become lost. now water is presents at that place, So from last ice age to 15th^ century both new world and old world are detached from each other. In 15th century Old world people found that this is not the only world, but there is an other world he named it as a new world or strange world.  Before discovery of new world what are the conditions of old world, old world comprises of Asia Africa and Europe. In early stages the Romans were in power but due to invasion wars the Romans empire shrinked to Byzantine empire, moreover this Byzantine empire further shrinked to Constantinople due to internal corruptions, internal divisions and outside invasions, Romans lost their leadership in Constantinople and Sultan Mohammed Fateh II the ruler of Ottoman empire, conquered the Constantinople (Istanbul).

In this situation European got hope that was the writings or travelogues of Marco Polo, In his writings or travelogues it was written that China as a land of immense wealth, with sophisticated cities like Hangzhou, boasting a complex social structure, and utilizing advanced technologies like paper money, gunpowder, and porcelain etc means he effuse the Europeans that was desperate at that time.They decided to go to China bring precious things like gold silver and many more things to make again Europe as a supreme leader or great power in world.  Until 15th^ century both worlds are unaware of each other the old world have no idea about new world, but in somewhere in old Chinese books this new world is called as Fusang(out of the world), the old travelers somewhere or someplace told this place as “the East of the eastern ocean lies the land of Fusang. Now European decided to go to Asia they start making voyages to Asia but as we know Muslims already blocked the land or trade route so now they have two choices to went to Asia firstly they go through north side or secondly that had to cross the complete Africa continent to reach to Asia it was lengthy or big route. Its time to entry of Christopher Columbus he first went to king of Portugal king John II in 1484 to cross Atlantic ocean to reach Asia, however the king denied his request after some years he went to Spain he convinced the king Ferdinand and queen Isabella with these conditions that the land discovered by him is governed by him and he cant bear a single penny of boats or crew. In 14th^ August, 1492 the Columbus start first voyage with three ships (Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria) to west because in his point of view if we travel to west direction we finally reached to Asia he believed that earth is round. Finally after a voyage of approximately two months Columbus reached to Bahamas where he saw the dark people having dark color, he named them as red Indians, he thought that he reached to Asia, in his whole life he was unaware of the fact, that he discovered a new landmass or new world.
