Minnesota
Minnesota (also known as Minnesomalia) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. Minnesota was first established as a territory on March 3, 1849 until the eastern half was admitted to the union on May 11, 1858 to become the 32nd state of the U.S. It is best known for being a cold shithole that nobody cares about. Many Swedes and Somalis live here.
Minnesota's landscape is mostly made up of forestland, praries, and lakes. Minnesota has a population of approximately 5,830,405[1] with half of the population being concentrated in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area.
History
[edit | edit source]Minnesota's history is a bunch of SNCA. Minnesota was inhabited by its natives until the French came over and claimed it as part of New France, they mainly utilized the territory for the fur trade.
After the Seven Years War ended in 1763, the Spanish gained control over what is now western Minnesota from 1762 to 1801, and the British gained control over what is now eastern Minnesota from 1763 until 1783 when the Second Treaty of Paris was enacted and all land east of the Mississippi was given to the United States. The French briefly returned to North America as a result of the Treaty of Aranjuez and gained the Louisiana territory which included eastern Minnesota from 1801 to 1803 when the U.S. purchased the territory.
Minnesota became part of several territories until it became admitted as the 32nd state of the U.S. on May 11, 1858.
The Somali Republic of Minnesota
[edit | edit source]It is said that the Somalis originated in what is now Minnesota over 5000 years ago, but when the Great Flood happened, they were forced to flee and eventually arrived on the Horn of Africa.[They just did, ok?] In early 1671, around a thousand Somalis were sent on a voyage with the goal of "reclaiming the promised land".[They just were, ok?] While little of this expedition was recorded, it is known that the explorers circumnavigated the coast of Africa, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, entered the St. Lawrence River, and made landfall around modern-day Duluth,[They just did, ok?] which was named Xamar Cusub at the time.[It just was, ok?] The expedition lasted a duration of around seven months.[It just did, ok?]
Establishment
[edit | edit source]Based on historical records, around 400 Somalis stayed and established the Somali Republic of Minnesota in 1672 while the rest of them returned to Somalia.[They just did, ok?] After winning the decisive Battle of Cloquet against the Native Americans, the Somalis went on to conquer wide swaths of land.[They just did, ok?] At its peak, the Somali Republic of Minnesota consisted of what is now modern-day Minnesota and large portions of North and South Dakota.[It just did, ok?]
After a series of clashes against the French from late 1684 to mid 1689, the Somalis were defeated and Minnesota was absorbed into the territory of New France with many Somali combatants being enslaved by the French.[They just were, ok?] There is not much known about the Somali Republic of Minnesota due to a lack of historical records, though this is because of the fact that the United States destroyed these records and most remnants of the Somali Republic of Minnesota's existance after they acquired the territory the country used to stand on.[They just did, ok?]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The name "Minnesota" originates from Dakota words meaning "sky-tinted waters" or "sky-blue waters."
The name "Minnesota" originates from the Somali phrase "Maay-soo-taa", which translates to "Isn’t that home".[4]
