continental

States
has
been
inhabited
for
at
least
15,000
years
by
indigenous
tribes.[1] After
European exploration and settlement
in
the
16th
century,
the
English
established
their
own
colonies
—
and
gained control of others that had been
begun
by
other
European
nations
—
in
the
eastern
portion
of the continent in
the 17th and early 18th centuries.
On

The
United
States

democratic
political
system
since

American
military,
economic,
cultural,
and political
influence increased throughout the 20th
century; with the collapse of the
Soviet Union at the
end of the Cold
War, the nation emerged as the world's
sole remaining superpower.[2] Today, it
plays a major
role in world affairs.
The earliest
known use of the name America is from
1507,
when
a
globe
and
a
large
map
created
by
the
German
cartographer
Martin
Waldseem
ü
ller
in
Saint-Die-des-Vosges
described
the
combined
continents of North
and South America. Although the
origin
of
the
name
is
uncertain[3],
the
most
widely
held
belief
is
that

in
an
accompanying
book,
Cosmographiae
Introductio,
which
explains
it
as
a
feminized
version
of
the
Latin
name
of
Italian
explorer
Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius);
in Latin, the
other continents' names
were all feminine. Vespucci
theorized,
correctly, that Christopher Columbus, on
reaching
islands
in
the
Caribbean
Sea
in
1492,
had
come
not to
India but to a
The Americas were also known as
Columbia, after
Columbus, prompting the
name District of Columbia for
the land
set aside as the capital. Columbia remained
a popular name for the United States
until the early
20th century, when it
fell into relative disuse; but
it
is
still
used
poetically
and
appears
in
various
names
and
titles.
A
female
personification
of
the
country
is
also
called
Columbia;
she
is
similar
to
Britannia.[4][5][6][7] Columbus Day, a
