In 1780, during the American Revolutionary War, the Kingdom of Great Britain imposes an embargo on the United States. Denmark-Norway comes near to the US coastline, in order to trade with US. After being stopped by the Great Britain, Denmark-Norway reaffirmed their neutrality in the war. At the same time, the US comes to the ship, and emphasizes the legitimacy of the trade, which is again denied by the Great Britain. The US claims that he wants to have a international trade relationship. Soon, the Russian Empire comes to the ship and stopped the actions of the Great Britain, announcing the establishment of the First League of Armed Neutrality. Russia threatens the Great Britain that if he plunders neutral countries' ships again, they will fight back for revenge. The Great Britain eventually stops interfering with the League's shipping.

Twenty years later, the US is ready to have the first diplomatic meeting with Russia. Russia used a teahouse as the meeting place, which makes the US suspicious, but eventually goes to the meeting. In the meeting, Russia officially recognizes the US as a sovereign state. The US has tea with Russia, despite he claims that it is still "a bit triggering" to him. They also agreed to continue the ongoing trade partnership, no matter how the international situation changes.

In 1854, in the Siege of Sevastopol, part of the Crimean War, France, the United Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire and Piedmont-Sardinia is attacking Russia with cannons, mainly due the Russia expansion in the Black Sea and other territories. Russia is facing problems of the lack of supplies during the war. Soon, the US comes with a ship of supplies, and delivered the supplies to Russia. The US also talks about their trade partnership, which caused the attention of the UK, but soon driven back by the US.

The US and Russia then decided to have more cooperation in the future. Later on, in 1867, the US purchase the entire land of Alaska from Russia. In 1900, in the Boxer Rebellion, the US and Russia, both in the Eight-Nation Alliance, fight against the Boxers. In 1905, due to conflict of imperialist interests between Russia and Japan, the Russo-Japanese War is started. Russia is at a disadvantage in the war, and the war caused many economical problems. The US comes to intervene in the negotiations. Russia is willing to keep all territories in Asia, as well as the railways in Manchuria. Japan wants to annex part of the Russian territory, and demands for war reparations. The US gives the result of Japan annexing Russia territories in Asia, and Russia keeping the railways in Manchuria. Russia is unsatisfied with the result, but he is forced to agree it. Russia goes to deal with aftermath of the war.

In 1917, the US decides to intervene in the World War I. The UK is fighting against the German Empire, and is satisfied to have the US in the war. During the Russian Revolution, the Russian Empire was replaced by the Russian Republic and the Russian SFSR. The US sees the Russian SFSR during a battle, later realizing that he is not the Russian Empire, and doesn't get any respond from him. The UK tells the US to focus on the battle, and informs that Russia had quitted the war a few months ago, also mentioning the Russian Revolution.
