Reply to comment by BabyTRexArms in TIL Korea has soy sauce older than USA by SmashScrapeFlip

Yeah, there should be things that are 2000 years old. We must find them and hoard them in England.

It’s kind of funny. It’s not exactly a secret about what happened in 1776.

What is kind of surprising when you sit down and think about it is that the USA went from not-a-country to unquestionably the most dominant cultural, economic, and military super power in less than two centuries.

Also the UK wasn’t established as a country until the 19th century

It was a point I was trying to make about america being relatively young for a country. In the grand scheme of things, 250 years is nothing. Things in most Asian countries are often much older. By the way, I am not British, and have heritage from a country conquered by them.
