Compare and Contrast UK and US
They are different in that they have a much longer history than the US, as the US was actually a British colony to start out. So many of their landmarks are centuries old, unlike the relatively younger US. They also have a monarchy, which used to rule the country, although doesn't any more. The US has never had a king or queen.
Overall, the United Kingdom and the United States are pretty similar today.
