Malingaliro pafoni pa Okutobala 17, 2020, ku chochitika cha Tsiku la Anthu Achikhalidwe ku Washington, DC, chidachedwa kuyambira Okutobala 12.
Sipangakhale malo ena ofunikira kuti azindikire Tsiku la Anthu Achilengedwe kuposa Washington, DC, likulu la zida zankhondo padziko lonse lapansi, zomangamanga, ndikupanga nkhondo - malo otsogola opanga zida za nyukiliya komanso kuwononga zachilengedwe, mpando waboma ladziko ndi lachifumu Madera akumayiko akunja a nzika zachiwiri kuzilumba za Caribbean ndi Pacific komanso ku Washington DC iwonso, pomwe amasunga malo achitetezo pafupifupi 1,000 m'maiko ena oposa 80, boma lomwe likupitilizabe kuzunza nzika zotsala zaku North America, likuzunza Malo oti awononge thambo ndikuwononga madzi, mumzinda womwe patatha zaka makumi ambiri akuchita ziwonetsero akufuna kuloleza gulu lawo lomwe limapangitsa kuti pakhale zovuta pakadali pano momwe angatchulire otentha.
Ndipo bwanji pali C ku Washington DC, mulimonse? Chifukwa Washington akuti chovala chachikoloni, ufumu, ukapolo, komanso kuphana, komanso chifukwa chimati sichokha ku United States kokha koma komanso m'maiko awiri aku America, kuyitanira anthu ake kuti "aku America" ndi ntchito yawo yayikulu kwambiri "Chitetezo" dipatimenti.

Anthu okhalamo nthawi zambiri amakhala osatetezedwa chifukwa cha zomwe amachita kunja kwa zipata, pomwe anthu amaloledwa kulowa mkati ndikuchita ntchito yakunyumba ndi kuyeretsa.
Maofesi akunja akunja aku US sanapangidwe mu 1898 momwe mabuku amafotokozera ana athu. United States inali ndi mabungwe akunja asanamangidwe ndikumanga zambiri pankhondo yawo yodziyimira pawokha kuchokera kwa asitikali akunja omwe amakhala omwe adagwirira ndi kufunkha. Lingaliro la mtundu watsopanoli linali "Hei, imeneyo ndi ntchito yathu."
Pansi pano ku Yunivesite ya Virginia chifanizo chachikulu chokondwerera George Rogers Clark sichimangolemekeza kuphana koma chikuwonetsedwa moyenera pachipilala chosema.
Malo aliwonse omangidwa kumadzulo kwa mapiri kupititsa patsogolo atsamundawo anali akunja. Nkhondo iliyonse inali yachilendo. Ngati mukuganiza kuti ndi mbiri yakale, ndifotokozereni chifukwa chake nyuzipepala iliyonse ku United States imati nkhondo yapano ku Afghanistan ndi nkhondo yayitali kwambiri ku US.

Siphatikizaponso kufa kwa Amwenye Achimereka omwe United States idamenyera nkhondo pa US Civil War.
Aphunzitsi ambiri ku United States angakuuzeni kuti kugonjetsa maderawo ndi chinthu chakale, koma magulu ankhondo aku US ali padziko lonse lapansi zomwe zidatenga anthu okakamiza kuthamangitsa ku Greenland, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Panama, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Korea, Okinawa, Guam, Diego Garcia, Philippines, ndi zilumba zambiri za Pacific.
