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.
Amerigo Vespucci (March 9, 1454-February 22, 1512) He realized that the land west of the Atlantic Ocean was big enough to be a new continent. Later, the land mass was named after the Latin version of his name.

The Northern states called themselves the Union and the Southern states named themselves the Confederacy (The Confederate States of America).
All Morgan dollars (named for their designer George T. Morgan) have the same reverse image: an eagle with outstretched wings, surrounded by a wreath, the words In God We Trust, United States of America, and One Dollar.
The thirteen colonies in North America that became the first 13 states of the United States, were colonies of the English Crown. Following the landing of John Cabot in North America in 1497, the English monarchy was determined to colonize the New World. In 1607 they founded Jamestown (in modern Virginia), which marked the establishment of the first colony. In 1732, the colony of Georgia (named after King George II) became the last of the 13 colonies to be founded.
United States of America!
The element named for a Cajun country is Americium, which is named after the United States of America.
The continent was named first. The supercontinent of America first carried the name in 1507 (source link below). The country United States of America was first named in 1776 in the full title of the Declaration of Independence.
Americium was named after America, specifically the United States, where it was first synthesized in the 1940s.
This region was named after the country that founded it, England.
America did not become the United Sates of America. A small geographic portion of it was formed into a nation known as the United States of America. The landmass known as America or the Americas comprises both North and South America, first named as such in 1507, was named after Italian cartographer Amerigo Vespucci, who produced charts of large sections of the east coast of the Americas. When the 13 British Colonies in North America declared independence on July 4, 1776, they declared the country so formed by that act to be named the United States of America.
United States of America!! A cartographer named the "New World" after Amerigo Vespucci.
Yes, americium is named after the Americas. It was discovered by a team of scientists in the United States and was named in honor of the country where it was first produced in significant quantities.
