Closest we came was brits trying again in 1812.... unless you count Hitler's attempt to talk Mexico into invading the US


Same reason Iranian people and society have existed continuously for millennia... hard to dig them out from behind the Zagros mountains. North America, even more so.

The Roman Empire actually existed in some form, name at least, until the late 18th century... it actually slightly overlapped the foundation of the USA.
