Why is America called America?

America is called America: the transliteration of America is "America", and the whole American continent is America. United States of America. The United States is named after a state. America and America are the same word "America" in English, but they have different meanings. The former refers to the whole America, and the latter refers to the United States. In fact, it is very late for the United States to directly deal with China. Until the end of 18, Americans came to Guangdong and told the locals that their country was called "America". Cantonese pronunciation literally translates as "Balikan" or "Milijian" or "Milijian". But it is transliterated from English pronunciation, which is awkward and not easy to remember, so people generally call it "Citigroup", which is called according to the characteristics of the American flag. China and the United States signed the Wang Xia Treaty. The official name cannot be called "Citigroup" in the United States, nor can it be called "Millikan" in Cantonese. It needs a formal name. Therefore, in the Wang Xia Treaty, the United States is called "Asian-American Richard drives away the United States", but in fact, Asian-American Richard is also a transliteration of the United States. 1848, Xu Jishe, the pioneer of modern epoch-making, published a book called Ying Huan Zhi Lue. This book introduces the United States-"Michigan, that is, the United States of America, also known as the United States, also known as the federal state." The book also introduces that Amorim drives the United States with the program of "Britain in the north, Mexico in the south and Tirzah". Tirzah is Texas, which was not incorporated into the United States at that time. Ma 'am, it must be the Mississippi River. It can be seen that Xu Jishe's translation of "Americans driving the United States" is roughly the same as the official title of "Americans driving the United States" in the Wang Xia Treaty. Later, the Qing dynasty engaged in westernization movement and dealt with Americans more. Zeng Guofan felt that the literal translation of American names was not beautiful enough, and he should give the United States a better name. So he made a memorial, which combined the official "Asian Americans driving the United States" with the Cantonese literal translation of "Miljkan" and named it "United States of America". Since then, officials have been using Zeng Guofan's name until now. The United States is short for the United States of America. Therefore, Zeng Guofan created the name America. The United States was the first place where Indians lived. At the end of 15, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Britain immigrated here one after another. 13 Before the 8th century, Britain established13 British North American colony on the Atlantic coast of the United States. 1775, the American people broke out the war of independence against the colonial rule of the British Empire. 1776 On July 4th, the Second Continental Congress was held in Philadelphia. George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and issued the Declaration of Independence, announcing the formal establishment of the United States of America. 1783 At the end of the War of Independence, Britain recognized the independence of 13 colonies. 1787, the constitution of the United States was passed, and a federal state was established. From 186 1 to 1865, the American Civil War broke out. Abraham lincoln led the free states in the north to defeat the slave states in the south. Since then, the United States has ended the "semi-slave and semi-free state" and started to implement free capitalism in an all-round way, and embarked on the road of rapid development. During the period of 1803- 1959, the territory was continuously expanded by means of purchase and war. America is a highly developed capitalist country. In the two world wars, the United States and other allies won, and after decades of cold war, they became the only superpower after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, leading the world in the fields of economy, culture and industry.
