Its national birthday, was July 4, 1776.
Americans celebrate it as July 4, 1776 but that was only when the Declaration of Independence was signed. However the war went on for many more years and America really gained Independence in 1783.
so technically 234 years but literally 227 years.
It depends on how you count. The country itself was founded in 1776, which would make the answer to your question 232. But if you count from the first permanent settlement, Jamestown, founded in 1607, then it would be 401. You might want to count from the discovery of the Americas on 1492, or the discovery by the Vikings in the 900s. Or you might consider the native inhabitants, whose ancestors migrated from Asia between 9,000 and 50,000 years ago.
When you ask about "America" I will make the assumption that you are really asking about the United States first.
The United States became a country in 1776, so the history of this country can only begin as it begins. Prior to this point the history of that area is that of the American Colonies.
When we view Pre U.S. history, we can go back to the formation of the planet. Both continents and the Central portions all enjoy a very rich and well documented history. From the glaciers that flowed through Canada until today will all be part of our history of this area.
The United States became a country in 1776, so that would make it 238 years old this year (2014).
The United States was founded on July 4th 1776. As of the year 2014 the United States has been in existence 238 years.
I would have to say that the USA has been a free country since the late 1930's early 1940's.
