I mean in a little over 200 years since independence they’ve gone through 8 separate Governments, and several Civil Wars. Probably left a mark on the Cultural Consciousness.

The U.S is one of only a handful of ex-colonies that can be said to have come out of the Collapse of the Colonial Empires as stronger for it. In fact it managed to do some Empire Building of its own.

Most of the rest of the former Colonial possessions have had at minimum one violent change of Government since independence. Usually multiple. And have only extremely recently begun achieving any sort of long lasting stability.

At least until a Major nation decides on backing a regime change…..But I digress.
