America in the Past.

Many hundred years ago on the territory of the present day America there lived the red-skin Indians. They hunted animals and fished, grew corn and tobacco. In the middle of the 15th century Christopher Columbus from Spain sailed with his crew on 33 small ships. They thought it was India. But Columbus was mistaken. It was an island near North America. This discovery took place on the 12th of October 1492. But this new land got its name “America” a little later when an Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci described it in his writings in 1499.
In 1620 more than one hundred Englishmen left their country forever and went to America on board the ship “May flower” to live and work there. Later on, more and more people from many countries came to live in America.
England considered these new territories as its colonies and soon the newcomers began to fight for their independence. The big gest war lasted from 1775 up to 1783. Commander – in –Chief of the North American Army was George Washington. His troops won this War for Independence and on July 4, 1776 the famous Declaration of Independence was signed by 13 United States of America.
George Washington was elected to be the first American President.
At present the USA is a highly developed industrial and agricultural country. The population of the USA is about 250 million people of many nationalities. Some of the biggest cities are New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco and others.
