History WMG / AxisPowersHetaliaAlliesCharacters

**** During Raiders Indiana is shot in the arm. America has an airplane in that same spot. So that airtplane patch is really there to cover the bullet hole.

*** He survies a NUKE in a FRIDGE!

** Dislikes Comunists *cough* Rusia *cough*

** You might be misunderstanding a bit. In that particular scene England is shown by himself, without any soldiers. America however, had at least 20 guys standing behind him, guns all pointed at England. America has been shown being able to swing a wildabeast around by the tail at 4 at the oldest. England knocks the gun out of his hands like it's nothing.

* But England was still colonising after America. Although there's the fact that Australia was colonised to replace America (direct quote from the Other Wiki "Following the loss of the American Colonies after the American War of Independence 1775-1783, Great Britain needed to find alternative land for a new British colony. Australia was chosen for settlement, and colonisation began in 1788." ) so take from that what you will. Regardless, there were also other colonies like Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Jamaica, and others that have tried to revolt against England as well, except he cracked down on his other colonies to stop any revolutions breaking out. Also, I believe it was just before 1960 but he also had a war with Cyprus when Cyprus had wanted to go back to living with Greece, and England only backed out of that war because Greece and Turkey FINALLY agreed (on something) that they didn't want England having Cyprus. I know this isn't the same as the relation between England and America, but certainly it does show he didn't just back down after that one war. In my opinion, England probably only hardened after the Revolutionary War with America, because he hadn't wanted another nation to get that close to him and hurt him again once they betrayed him. Yes, he did let his other colonies have Independence gradually and peacefully, but only after he tried everything else to oppress the smaller ones until he had no option but to give it to them or go to war (and no one wanted that after the World Wars). There were also many other factors involved, which you'd have to look up when the first British Dominions came about to actually understand these factors.

** Hmm, good point. Let's see, Wessex no longer exists in any capacity so he's a goner. Kent managed to survive more or less intact, territory wise, so they might still be hanging around, although I don't know if they fit the culture requirement. Speaking of which, given the fact that northeners consider themselves separate from southeners, at least one or two of the Northumbrias might still be hanging in there, although on the other hand they got put through the wringer more then the others because of the whole Danelaw thing. Gah, this whole thing's getting the better of me. If I could draw properly I'd probably be drawing the various personifications in question by now.

**** The term 'bretwalda' wasn't just applied to the Mercian kings, it was used to refer to the king of whichever kingdom held the most power, something which, given that the Anglo-Saxon period was basically a series of brawls, changed rather frequently. The first one to really earn the title was Edwin of Northumbria. Not that it really matters, just thought I'd provide some free education. Incidently, out of the Hepetarchy the Northumbria brothers are the ones who are most likely to still be around.

** I'd have to disagree with this theory. Not only for one does it go against America's personality (his world map is only of North America, thus I doubt he'd actually realise that there are languages other than English or the common language that all the nations use to talk to each other) but also Americans are not exactly known for being culturally accepting. Not meaning to insult any Americans here, but most of the world does see (or at least stereotype) the American populace as being ignorant of other cultures. As Hetalia is playing off that stereotype, making America Multi-lingual would throw off the ignorant stereotype he's portraying. Also, when studying Linguistics (hence a link can't be supplied if anyone wishes to see for themselves), we were given statistics of the percentages of the three main English dominate speaking nations (Britain, America and Australia) and on a "national" (meaning how many people in the nation they got to do the survey) scale only 41-2% spoke a language other than English. This shows a surprisingly low amount of bilinguals living in America, although it is very culturally diverse. In comparison, in the less culturally diverse nation of Britain, 86% spoke a language other than English. This doesn't support America being a multi-lingual if someone like England - who sees smaller immigration rates per year (America sees 2.92 immigrants per 1,000 people, whereas the UK as a whole sees 2.17 immigrants per 1,000 people according to this site = [[http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/imm_net_mig_rat-immigration-net-migration-rate#definition]]) - has double the amount of citizens who speak more than one language. Also, America has not federally established any Multicultural Policies, despite other Western nations like Canada, Argentina, the UK, Netherlands, Australia (despite not being in the West is still counted), and most other nations in central Europe have done so. Going to the other Wiki, and looking up "Multiculturalism" then scrolling down to the section about the US will reinstate this, and also mention that there's a prominent national myth about going to the US and having one's culture assimilated into the American culture. Statistically and just on the basis of stereotyping, there is too low a chance of America being multilingual - if Himaruya does bring multilingualism in the US up at all, then my best bet would be as a side note, rather than an actual depiction of it in the series itself.

*** When you say English to begin with, do you mean colonised by England first? Because the British were the first colonisers in New Zealand, but New Zealand doesn't have the eyebrows. If you meant it as claimed by England first, then how does that explain Australia having the eyebrows when he was first claimed by the Dutch, French, Spanish, Russians, etc before the British decided to just go there and colonise anyway? Also there's the native Indigenous peoples of these countries, which are arguably the first settlers of these nations before the Europeans even came around. Sorry, I'm just not seeing your point clearly because I'm not sure what you meant by it exactly.

* Well, he managed to be involved in a three-year guerrilla War of Independence with Ireland after WW1, and Ireland was part of the British Empire for much longer than America, so he can't have been that broken. Mind you, he refused to admit it was a war...

[[WMG: In combat since WW2, England assumes the identity of [[CallOfDuty Captain Price]].]]
It's not that hard to imagine "Arthur Kirkland" serving alongside and befriending the aforementioned soldier at some point during the WW2-era games. At some point, however, the ''original'' Price gets killed in action, prompting England to take his identity in memory of the man. But as the War drew to a close, he decided to retain the name and mustached appearance as his cover whenever entering combat alongside humans. Besides, how ''else'' could he survive the sort of crap he's gone through? [[spoiler:[[ModernWarfare Up to and including being locked up in a Russian gulag for three years.]]]]

[[WMG: England was in a mode of UnstoppableRage as well as OneManArmy in the last scene of TheAmericanRevolution.]]

* '''F'''rance/Francis made him add it as payment for helping him in TheAmericanRevolution!

*** Not quite. In canon it has been mentioned that England has three brothers - Wales, Scotland, and [[StrokeCountry Northern Ireland]] - implying that the Republic of Ireland is not related to the other four.

It's a result of the CanadaDoesNotExist trope.

[[WMG: For a brief and very sad period in history, America/Alfred would have misconstrued some instructions from his boss and wound up calling France/Francis "Freedom". France was very pleased as he is rather [[IncrediblyLamePun free with his hands]].]]

Logically, this seems like the best bet. China is often mentioned as being [[OlderThanTheyLook approximately 4000 years old]]. This fits pretty well with the traditional chronology of Chinese history, where the Xia Dynasty was supposedly established in roughly 2100 BC, having been born out of the earlier "''San-huang wu-ti''"[[hottip:*:We'll use this term in the future, since its ''way'' easier to write than the full name "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Period".]], which has [[ShroudedInMyth many elements of]] [[TheTimeOfMyths older mythological and cultural traditions]], and roughly ends somewhere around 2000 BC. Considering the fact that it was a very long time ago, and there's lots we don't know about those periods (much of it comes from oral, later written, and archaeological sources), its not at all surprising that these periods overlap.

You probably think it's outrageous, but after seeing [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=america+the+hungry+hetalia#/d4eyv5l this]] [[http://dieingcity.deviantart.com/art/America-the-Hungry-Year-2-268073564 series]] [[http://dieingcity.deviantart.com/art/America-the-Hungry-Year-3-269198299 of]] [[http://dieingcity.deviantart.com/art/America-the-Hungry-Year-4-270488626 works]] ("America the Hungry") depicting the U.S.'s history of not having enough to eat, it actually starts to make sense. He keeps some kind of food on his person at all times (at one point, he was shown to have tons of junk food hidden under his clothes) because he's afraid he won't have enough to eat again, and what with the present-day economy of America[[hottip:*:Or for that matter, lack thereof]], it's probably made worse.

He is a nation born from a melting pot of other culters so it would make sence that his mortal foe\evil rival is New world order or a personfacition of the K.K.K. since they both could stand for white supremsty. America is like a traitor to them. He looks like a perfectt example pure white, blue eyes, and blond but he stands for Equlatey. (bouns if America use to be there friend back when his nation was raceist but after the cival war he saw the error in his ways)

*** Regarding America, maybe he has some other method of time travel, like Tony? I doubt the Doctor would let America take a friggin' computer back in time with him.

Come on. You see how enthusiastic he is about beating people up, and he casually says he was going to use the plane to beat the holy hell out of Britain with no guilt evident in his tone. Also, America is possibly one of the most brutal and violent countries on the planet, and has a large supply of nuclear warheads. My theory is that he was depressed after he left England, before becoming incredibly racist and following England's path of dominating (except worse), [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he realizes what he was doing]], but still didn't want to let go, his country had a civil war which emotionally scarred him, and part of him wants to help the world now, while another wants to [[MadBomber bomb the shit out of it]]. Plus, he is so enthusiastic, but shows no signs of having memory of Pearl Harbor, which got most Americans furious. Explanation: he is hiding his AxCrazy side to the rest, while Japan and Russia have seen it; Japan decided to try and help [[LivingEmotionalCrutch keep him grounded]], while [[CuteAndPsycho Russia]] and America can both sense their insanity, hence why they hate each other so much.

To symbolize mutually assured destruction. If Russia or America killed one another, they'd blow themselves to Kingdom Come, hence why they haven't killed each other yet. Same goes with other nations; if anyone had a powerful enough attack to kill America or Russia, they'd be blown up right beside them. Moving to the EpilepticTrees territory, they have NUCLEAR bombs implanted in their chests, and powerful ones at that, so there's be no chance that a nation would survive killing America or Russia.

* The third personality is the Nanjing Government of the Republic of China, a Japanese puppet state in China. It represents the subservience of China to Japan. It is also China's default personality when ruled by an alien country like Mongolia and Manchuria/Qing. Now, this personality arises merely on cross-cultural relationships with other Asian countries in which China is the junior partner, although this was no longer the case.

[[WMG: America is {{Stephen Colbert}}]]

[[WMG: america and canada are the sons of finland and some native america tribe]]

[[WMG: China is [[DroppedaBridgetonHim secretly a girl]].]]

* This troper likes to think that he went through a gender-swaped version of what I like to call Hungarian Gender Confusion-that is, ([[{{CaptainObvious}} as the name implies,]]) when [[{{DroppedABridgetOnHim}} one drops a Bridget on]] ''[[{{DroppedABridgetOnHim}} themselves.]]''

* [[FridgeBrilliance Ohh....]] [[{{Mulan}} I see what you did there]].

An earlier guess is that China is a girl. We've seen enough now to know that this isn't true. But just looking at him, he is ''too'' feminine. Apart from the obvious lack of breasts, he really did look female in that dress from the Christmas bloodbath. I propose that Himaruya originally designed him with the thought in that back of his mind that he would one day [[DroppedABridgetOnHim drop a Bridget]] on the readers. However, he never acted on it and sort of forgot about it. It may occasionally have drifted back into his mind, and may even have still been lingering when the anime was cast. By now, though, there's been too much evidence to say he isn't, so the idea has been dropped.

* Hawaii was America's neighbor, who had a small house, but a really great backyard. At first, he wasn't happy with America's constant uninvited use of his pool and barbecue, but when America finally realized he was being rude, he invited Hawaii inside for a visit. Eventually, they came to an agreement that Hawaii could live with America in his great big house as long as he and his other roommates could use his backyard unrestricted.

[[WMG: The plans Alfred makes get boxed, à la [[TheOffice Office]] ]]
In TheOffice, complaints are filed into a box until the complainant has forgotten about it and moved on. This is the same method used to handle Alfred in the War Room, since he's much too powerful to simply shoo out. Actual (discarded) US war plans read like a teen obsessed with comic books: nuking the moon (or at least building a military base on it), LSD experiments, psychic soldiers, killer fungus, and exploding animals. The only way the military can get things done, and not make a complete fool of itself, is to file and pretend to prepare for these until Alfred has gotten bored and forgotten all about them.

* They were very close, and their names were Alfred and Alex. But they had such a bad argument over slavery (Alex was racist) that Alex moved out. But since Alex convinced several of Alfred's states (who are pretty much his children) to leave with him, Alfred went after him to get them back, and War Ensued. Finally, after a very bloody and difficult war, Alfred was forced to kill Alex. He was so upset and traumatized by it he threatened war on anyone who even MENTIONED Alex ever again. And since he's a superpower, no one does.

[[WMG: The Confederacy and the Union were twins]]

[[WMG: America is "Indiana Jones"]]
* The movies and other lore are real adventures of America.
** The outfits look alike.
*** Dark brown jackets
**** During Raiders Indiana is shot in the arm. America has an airplane in that same spot. So that airtplane patch is really there to cover the bullet hole.
*** The only color changes are the boots and gloves. Indiana wears brown, America wears black, but small details.
** They can take a beating
*** He survies a NUKE in a FRIDGE!
** He likes IKE- his boss
** Dislikes Comunists *cough* Rusia *cough*
*** Supernatural freaks him out
**** Ghost are wicked scary- they came out of THE ARCH! So it scared him for life
* When they gave the movie a title they kept the last name but the first name was picked from one of his "kids" states so that no one would suspect something.
Need I say more?
