192 independent countries are members of the U.N., but that doesn't include the Vatican City - which is technically a country - who have chosen not to join.\n\nThere are 192  different countries that the United States recognizes, but it gets tricky when you talk about Taiwan. There are those that would argue that Taiwan isn't really a coutnry (like China, who claims that it is a Chinese province). \n\nEven though Taiwan was a member of the U.N. up until 1971, it is not recognized as a country because of politcal reasons.  \n\nSo if you count Taiwan as a country (though it isn't internationally recognized as one) and the Vatican City, there would be 193.\n\nTo John C.: You have to remember that when you are counting countries, places that are governed by other countries, like Puerto Rico, the U.K., Bermuda, Palestine and others, don't count because they are actually provinces or colonies.

England, France and Spain colonize N. America.  England's colonies do the best, and they rebel and form their own country (USA) and slowly take over the rest of the country.  During this time, the south decides they don't like the national govt. and rebel.  The south loses and the country is unified.  WWI and WWII, now the US is a superpower.  The USSR collapses and the US is the most powerful nation in the world.  Terrorists fly planes into Trade Towers/Pentagon and then we invade Afghanistan and Iraq.  To be cont...\n\nEach state gets the number of electors equal to the number of senators and represenatives combined.  All electors vote for whoever the popular vote of the state chose.  Whichever candidate gets the majority of the electoral votes, wins.\n\nThere are three branches.  The executive (prez.), legislative (congress with two houses), and judicial (courts).  They each have power over the others in some way (balance of power) so that neither can control the nation by itself.

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence,[1] was a conflict that erupted between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies, who declared their independence as the United States of America in 1776. The war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire. The war eventually widened far beyond British North America; many Native Americans also fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them. After an American victory at Saratoga in 1777, France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the war against Great Britain. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States.\n\nNote that this article covers military actions only; for political and social developments, including the origins and aftermath of the war, see the article on the American Revolution.
