The '''United States of America''' (United States, America, US, or USA) is a federal democratic republic in North America consisting primarily of fifty states. The United States is the world's third largest nation by population and fourth largest by area, and as of 2009, the world's largest economy, with the highest income per capita for a country of its size.
   
  +
The United States established its independence after British colonists rose up against their colonial masters in the late 18th century. Rapid industrialization in the 19th and 20th century was accompanied by territorial expansion and scientific innovation. By the early 20th century it is considered a "Great Power". Following the defeat of the Axis Powers in the Second World War in 1945, the USA was one of the five permanent Security Council members in the United Nations.
==History==
 
The history of Turkey encompasses the history of Republic of Turkey and the history of the region now known as Turkey (derived from the Medieval Latin Turchia; i.e., "Land of the Turks"), including the areas known as Anatolia and Eastern Thrace. Anatolia (Turkish: Anadolu) comprises most of modern Turkey and is known by the Latin name of Asia Minor.
 
   
  +
Due to the political, economic and military dominance of the United States, it is considered one of the two superpowers of the world during the early 21st century. The threat that global terrorism posed to American global interests dragged the United States, along with [[China]], into a [[War against the GLA|world war]] against a rogue paramilitary organization called the [[Global Liberation Army]]. Although US forces initially scored early victories in the war, the United States ultimately came out of the conflict exhausted and humiliated by the GLA and overshadowed by China.
Turkey has been inhabited since the Paleolithic, including various Ancient Anatolian civilizations and ancient Thracians.The remnants of Bronze Age civilizations such as the Hattians, provide examples of the lives of its citizens and their trade. After the fall of the Hittites, new states such as Phrygia and Lydia appeared on the western coast as Greek civilization began to flourish.
 
   
  +
==Description==
The growing Persian kingdom eventually absorbed them. Following the Persian invasion, its expansionism brought it into conflict with the Greek monarch Alexander the Great who successfully expelled the Persians. Although he brought an end to the Persian Empire, his reign was short and his empire broke up on his death. Most of Anatolia eventually fell under the Seleucid Empire, the largest of Alexander's territories, but they were driven back by the Romans by 191 BC, most of their lands returning to local kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Pergamum. Roman control gradually strengthened carving out provinces from the Anatolian lands, but the Roman Empire was weakened by successive civil wars and barbarian invasions. These resulted in periodic divisions of the empire.

The United States of America was one of the 2 world superpowers along with China at the beginning of the war against the [[Global Liberation Army|GLA]]. It was aided by [[China]] in this conflict and had great influence over world politics. At first, the USA was reluctant to get involved in any battles against the GLA, denying claims that the organization was likely to 'run into' their forces stationed in the Middle East. However, around 2020 the US joined the war to try and drive the ever-spreading GLA out of Asia, as it became clear that the organization indeed threatened American global interests.
In the 4th century, during the reign of Constantine the Great, at the east part of the Roman empire (referred to by historians much later as the Byzantine Empire) was established a new capital at Constantinople. Parting from the West empire the Byzantine Empire it succeeded to flourish for almost a thousand years.
 
   
  +
The American's first taste of combat with the GLA came with a GLA force overran the American airbase in Adana, Turkey, followed by a series of humiliating defeats at the hands of a brilliant GLA general culminating in the defeat of Chinese and American forces stationed at Baikonur in the [[The Taking Of Baikonur|First Battle of Baikonur]]. The Americans quickly struck back against the GLA in the Middle East, striking against GLA strongholds in Iraq, Yemen and also in Kazakhstan. The first wave of operations against the GLA culminated in [[Operation Last Call]], an attack by combined US and Chinese forces against the GLA 'capital' located at [[Akmola]], [[Kazakhstan]]. US officials believed that this would be the end of the GLA, and American troops celebrated with the locals in Akmola following the victory.
Oghuz Turks began migrating into Anatolia in the context of the larger Turkic expansion, forming the Seljuq Empire in the 11th century AD. After the Seljuq victory over forces of the Byzantine Empire in 1071 at the Battle of Manzikert, the process was accelerated. The Seljuq dynasty controlled Turkey until the country was invaded by the Mongols following the Battle of Kosedag. During the years when the country was under Mongol rule, some small Turkish states were born. One of these states was the Ottoman beylik which quickly controlled Western Anatolia and conquered much of Rumelia. After finally conquering Istanbul, the Ottoman state would become a large empire, called the Turkish Empire in Europe. Next, the Empire expanded to Eastern Anatolia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, Central Europe and North Africa. Although the Ottoman Empire's power and prestige peaked in the 16th century; it did not fully reach the technological advance in military capabilities of the Western powers in the 19th century. Nevertheless, Turkey managed to maintain independence though some of its territories were ceded to its neighbours and some small countries gained independence from it.
 
   
  +
===The Zero Hour===
Following World War I in which Turkey was defeated, most of Anatolia and Eastern Thrace was occupied by the Allied powers including the capital city Istanbul. In order to resist the occupation, a cadre of young military officers formed a government in Ankara. The elected leader of the Ankara Government, Mustafa Kemal organized a successful war of independence against the Allied powers. After the liberation of Anatolia and East Thrace, the Republic of Turkey was established in 1923 with its capital at Ankara.
 
   
  +
In reality, the GLA defeat at Akmola was not the end of the organization, as it had spread too far throughout the region, and quickly resumed military operations in the Middle East. [[Baikonur Cosmodrome]], still under GLA control, was used to launch a biochemical missile against a US naval base in northern Europe.
==Red Alert Universe==
 
During the [[Second World War]], Turkey was a member of the [[Allied Forces]] and their most important outpost in the east. Like other Allied sympathizing countries (the [[United States of America (Red Alert)|United States of America]] for example), Turkey did not take part directly in the war, but it did provide manpower and weapons to support the European Allies in the war against the [[Soviet Union]].
 
   
  +
The US launched a new campaign to re-take the facility and crush the GLA's new leadership. [[Dr. Thrax]] was identified as the new GLA mastermind. The US worked systematically, gathering intelligence on the nefarious Thrax through covert operations deep into enemy territory, while simultaneously conducting other operations where necessary (such as protecting UN civilian aid from GLA attack). During [[Operation Black Gold]], the US entered Iran in order to capture the oil fields that were funding Dr. Thrax's campaign of terror. Following the success of this operation, the US followed Thrax's forces to a city with a number of missile launch pads, from which Thrax planned to launch rockets that would spread his latest toxin, [[Anthrax Gamma]], across the globe. The US stood firm in the face of this diabolical threat, and successfully defeated and killed Dr Thrax, and captured all of his subordinates. Having saved the world from the threat of mass contamination, US Commanders bathed in the glory and respect that came in from far and wide.
In {{L|Third World War|Red Alert 2}}, Turkey is still part of the Allied forces. They began aiding them and staging bases after the [[Dark Night|Soviet Missile Base]] in [[Poland]] was destroyed by an [[Allied Commander (Red Alert 2)|Allied Commander]] and [[Tanya (Red Alert 2)|Tanya]].
 
{{NonCanonCamp|Soviet|RA3}}
 
During the [[War of Three Powers|War of the Three Powers]], Turkish soldiers took part in crushing Soviet forces in the mission of taking back [[Greece]] in [[The Science of War]], which fails to destroy the red menace. [[Warren]] was killed in the laboratory's destruction and [[Giles]] tried to retake it, but managed to retreat to the [[Von Esling Airbase]] in [[Iceland]].
 
   
  +
For a while it appeared that the USA had finally defeated the GLA. The GLA was indeed fragmented after the loss of Dr. Thrax, but soon regrouped under a new leadership. In revenge, the revitalized GLA used a captured [[particle cannon]] to destroy the aircraft carrier, [[USS Reagan|USS ''Reagan'']], stationed at Crete. This was a great blow to American prestige but worse was to come. The GLA immediately struck the west coast of the United States, stealing various chemical and biological weapons. America had never been invaded by a terrorist organization in this way before and many believed the US was "impregnable". US officials were shocked and pulled much of the US forces overseas back to the states in what they called a "tactical re-evaluation of military deployment," which essentially meant '''retreat'''.
==Trivia==
 
* Turkey, along with Spain and Greece, was intended to be a playable country in [[Red Alert]] at one point and the codes for it still exist in the game. In [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert - Remastered|Remastered]], they all become playable subfactions in Skirmish.
 
   
  +
While well-meaning, the sudden withdrawal of US troops caused much of Europe to fall to the GLA. The US CENTCOM Europe Base in Stuttgart, Germany was overrun by the GLA, who looted its high-tech military hardware for their own means. Global opinion considered this a defeat. When China's assault on the GLA successfully defeated the GLA in Europe, China surpassed the USA in global importance, declaring that United States' power was "reaching no further than its own shores now."
  +
  +
===After the War===
  +
With the captured GLA leaders on trial in the World Court and NATO a mere political afterthought, the Chinese Premier and the European leaders met at the meeting of the newly-established Eurasian Unity League, to discuss future cooperation. From Hong Kong to Paris, the citizens of many nations cheered China's actions in Europe, and China is now considered the world's leading superpower.
  +
  +
The war had left the US reduced to a mere shadow of its former self. As it has been weakened and humiliated by the GLA, the United States was forced to order its forces to pull out from overseas to strengthen homeland security and rebuild, which shattered America's global influence and resulted in the fall of its weapons and facilities to the GLA.
  +
  +
With its forces shattered to ruins and commanders either killed or captured, the GLA was no longer a significant threat to the world.

Having the world's largest economies the USA can afford to deliver money to its commanders. This is directed to the [[Supply drop zone|Supply Drop Zones]], and is much needed, as cutting-edge US units are often expensive. While their [[Chinook (Generals)|Chinooks]] can deliver large quantities of supplies, the United States has the slowest gathering rate of all factions, requiring two or more Chinooks in the air at all times to maintain suitable funds. While not having the vast numbers of the GLA, the US has a technological edge, its units able to inflict precise and devastating attacks, and with an increased likelihood of being able to come home to tell the tale.

With a vast amount of intelligence-gathering resources available, US commanders are scarcely seen making any blundering errors when engaging the enemy, regularly picking the correct weak spots as indicated by their satellite scans. Most of the USA's units are of high quality, despite more expensive than their Chinese counterparts; even their basic infantry unit, the {{link|Ranger|Generals}} is able to defeat its [[People's Republic of China|Chinese]] and [[Global Liberation Army|GLA]] counterparts. While their high technology greatly augments the USA's fighting capabilities, it comes at very high costs.

The ''Crusader''-class Tank, as of all modern MBTs, can defeat its foreign counterparts (except when the [[Horde Bonus]] applies to Battlemasters) in one on one fights and the ''Paladin''-class is known to shoot down small missiles with lasers but are expensive and require a General Point (like Marauders) for standard tanks.

25px-Disambig This article is about the United States of America in the Generals universe. For its appearance in other universes, see United States of America.

The United States of America (United States, America, US, or USA) is a federal democratic republic in North America consisting primarily of fifty states. The United States is the world's third largest nation by population and fourth largest by area, and as of 2009, the world's largest economy, with the highest income per capita for a country of its size.

The United States established its independence after British colonists rose up against their colonial masters in the late 18th century. Rapid industrialization in the 19th and 20th century was accompanied by territorial expansion and scientific innovation. By the early 20th century it is considered a "Great Power". Following the defeat of the Axis Powers in the Second World War in 1945, the USA was one of the five permanent Security Council members in the United Nations.

Due to the political, economic and military dominance of the United States, it is considered one of the two superpowers of the world during the early 21st century. The threat that global terrorism posed to American global interests dragged the United States, along with China, into a world war against a rogue paramilitary organization called the Global Liberation Army. Although US forces initially scored early victories in the war, the United States ultimately came out of the conflict exhausted and humiliated by the GLA and overshadowed by China.
