Foundation of America
The first people to land on American soil were the Vikings, who discovered the Northern Region of the continent in the 11th century. They have formed smaller villages, however as they thought it was still Europe they did not notice or care about the land that actually belongs to the new world.

In 1492, after Christopher Colombus landed in the coast of the island of Haiti. He thought he actually reached India, therefore he begun studying the native americans. He also named them Indians due to his belief in the fact that he reached India. In 1507 it was found that Colombus didn't even reach India, however he landed on an unkown continent between Asia and Europe. Later the continent was named „America” referring to Amerigo Vespucci, the person who came to the mentioned conclusion.

Colonization of the East Coast
The first ones to set up colonies on the Continent were the Spanish who begun by creating it’s colonies in today's Florida’s eastern coast. Later on the British, the Dutch and the French also estabilished it’s first colonies on the continent. There were several fights between the countries for more colonies as the time went on. But finally the fights ended when every part of the continent has been discovered.

Independence of Eastland
The first steps of the independence of a new country in the American continent were made in 1750, when the British Empire started taxing people living in it’s colonies more and more. It lead to a variety of strikes and violent actions across the Empire’s American colonies. Finally in 1776, 13 colonial states declared independence under the name „Eastland”. It has been immeadiately attacked by it’s former ruler, but due to the big distance between Europe and America, the colossal empire couldn't fight long for it’s former colony. The treaty of Albany has been signed on the 16th of November 1795. Eastland became an independent sovereign state and made the British Empire lose it’s largest colonial empire status.

The Napoleonic Era
Eastland wasn't located in Europe, however it has been involved in the Napoleonic wars where the country fought on the side of the French Empire, which was ruled by Napoléon Bonaparte. Several battles has been won by Eastland, which led to it’s expansion to the North and South.
