All About U.S.

250 Years of the United States of America

On July 4, 2026, the United States of America celebrate their Semiquincentennial: 250 years of inde-pendence. To mark this milestone, this book highlights pivotal moments from this period, opposing ongoing attempts to rewrite the history of the United States – and thus also of that of Europe. All About U.S. challenges standard assumptions and myths, such as the founding of the U.S. on seemingly uninhabited land, populated by a selection of extraordinary people who committed them-selves to the world’s first liberal constitution. Participation in the transatlantic slave trade, a deeply ingrained sense of unlimited expansionism and the spread of half-baked technological innovations mark U.S.–European history as a shared, fraught project.

Through its concise, transparent graphic language and facts-based narrative, the book provides insights into the current state of America, Europe and the world, embedded in a historical context. By assessing the successes and challenges of the United States, the book aims to remind us of the need for optimism – one of the most striking qualities of American culture. Yet, a better future can only emerge if we recognize mistakes, learn from them and face difficult times with unity.
