If different nations controlled the territory between the atlantic and the pacific ocean, how would life be different?

We would be living life according to that nations standards and culture. Like Europe.

Ifound this on google “simply, the working conditions were terrible during the industrial revolution. as factories were being built, businesses were in need of workers. with a long line of people willing to work, employers could set wages as low as they wanted because people were willing to do work as long as they got paid.” i hope this you for what your looking for.
