To talk about the history of usa we need talk about the history of america and his Discovery.

In 1492, the navigator, cartographer, Christopher Columbus, discovered the American on October 12 in an expedition to the mandate of the Catholic kings of Castile, the kings Isabel and Fernando.

After two months and nine days of having left the port of sticks and crossing the Atlantic ocean, Columbus arrived on an island in the American continent.

In the countries after the discovery of the new world, Spain, Portugal and to a lesser extent England, France, Holland and other European powers competed for the exploration, conquest and colonization of the American continent, resulting in the birth of new peoples, cultures and states.

Native Americans and first European settlements

It is commonly thought that the indigenous peoples of the continental United States, including Alaska Natives, migrated from Asia between 12,000 and 40,000 years ago.

On April 2, 1513, the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León landed in what he called La Florida, being the first European arrival documented in the United States.

The Spanish settlements in the region were followed by others in the current southwestern United States. The French fur traders settled in New France, around the Great Lakes area; finally France would claim much of the interior of the United States, up to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The first successful English settlements were the Virginia colony at Jamestown in 1607 and the Plymouth colony founded by pilgrims in 1620.

From 1614, the Dutch settled down along the lower Hudson River, founding New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan.

In 1674, the Netherlands ceded its territory to England and the province of the New Netherlands was renamed New York, which became the most important city in the United States since the mid-nineteenth century.

With the division of the Carolinas in 1729 and the colonization of Georgia in 1732, the Thirteen British Colonies were established, which eventually became the United States of America.

The Thirteen Colonies were a group of British colonies on the east coast of North America, founded in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that declared their independence in 1776 and formed the United States. The thirteen were (from north to south): Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

The Thirteen Colonies

The Thirteen Colonies were a group of British colonies on the east coast of North America, those founded in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that declared their independence in 1776 and formed the United States. The thirteen were: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

The thirteen colonies had very similar political, constitutional and legal systems, and were dominated by English-speaking Protestants. They were only a part of Britain's possessions in the New World

In the eighteenth century, the British government operated its colonies under a policy of mercantilism, in which the central government administered their possessions for the economic benefit of the metropolis. However, the thirteen colonies had a high degree of autonomy and local elections
