为什么美国是the United States而Ameirica 一般不被认为是美国呢?
- Inglês (EUA)
The United States OF America.
That means that the United States is only PART of the continent named "America".
In the past, when the United States first became a nation, it was the only independent country in the American continent (besides Haiti). So they figured they could name themselves the United States of America without creating a great deal of confusion.
But then more and more countries all over the continent began to declare their independence from Britain, Spain, Portugal, etc. So the term didn't apply anymore.
But, habits are hard to break, so a lot of people from the United States call their country "America".
