The History of American Aggression. Why Are Americans Such an Aggressive Nation?. Victoria Arden

The historical context of aggression in the U.S. is linked to the country’s colonial history, when European powers seized territories from the indigenous peoples of North America.

European colonizers brought Christianity with them, which became the foundation of the cultural and religious life.
