What do you think of this?

It all began when Great Britain started the driving of automobiles on the right side and very soon all the former colonies of Great Britain, like Malaysia, India, Pakistan, some African countries, Hong Kong etc. followed suit to drive on the right side too.
However, USA being a very large and powerful country didn't like what the
British were doing with their driving. So, they drive their automobiles on the left side (to spite the British who fought
in wars against them) until today.
