The United States is home to distinctive varieties of French, German, and Spanish spoken nowhere else in the world. In the past, a distinctive variety of Dutch was also spoken in the country. But why, in the nineteenth century or before, didn't a distinct variety of American Italian develop...

So, France gave the US a LOT of help during the American Revolution, to the point where it put France in debt. France also used to control the land west of the Proclamation Line of 1763, as part of New France. So let's say as a sort of repayment, the US gives it back, effectively limiting...
