			'''The United States of America''' ('''USA'''), commonly known as the '''United States''' ('''U.S.''') or simply '''America''', is a country primarily located in North America. It consists of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories, and numerous islands. The country shares land borders with Canada and Mexico and has maritime borders with several nations.

			The United States is the third-largest country by land area and one of the world's most populous nations, with more than 340 million inhabitants. Its capital is [[Washington, D.C.]], while [[New York City]] is its largest city and principal financial center.

			== History ==

			=== Indigenous peoples ===
			The territory of the present-day United States was inhabited by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. Numerous civilizations and cultures developed across North America, including the Pueblo, Mississippian, and Iroquois peoples.

			=== European colonization ===
			Beginning in the 16th century, European powers, including Spain, France, and Great Britain, established colonies in North America. By the 18th century, the British had established thirteen colonies along the Atlantic coast.

			=== Independence ===
			Growing tensions between the colonies and Great Britain led to the [[American Revolutionary War]]. On 4 July 1776, the [[Declaration of Independence]] proclaimed the colonies' separation from British rule. The United States achieved independence following the Treaty of Paris in 1783.

			=== Expansion and Civil War ===
			During the 19th century, the country expanded westward and admitted new states into the Union. Disputes over slavery and states' rights resulted in the [[American Civil War]] (1861–1865), which ended with the preservation of the Union and the abolition of slavery.

			=== Emergence as a global power ===
			In the 20th century, the United States played major roles in both World War I and World War II. Following World War II, it became one of the world's leading economic, political, and military powers and was a founding member of the [[United Nations]].

			== Government and politics ==
			The United States is a federal presidential constitutional republic. The federal government is divided into three branches:

			* Executive branch, headed by the president.
			* Legislative branch, consisting of the Congress.
			* Judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court.

			The country operates under the [[United States Constitution]], adopted in 1789, which is one of the world's oldest written constitutions still in force.

			== Geography ==
			The United States has a highly diverse geography that includes mountains, plains, deserts, forests, and coastal regions. Major geographical features include the [[Rocky Mountains]], the [[Mississippi River]], and the [[Great Lakes]].

			The country contains a wide range of climates, from arctic conditions in Alaska to tropical climates in Hawaii and southern Florida.

			== Economy ==
			The United States has the world's largest nominal economy. It is a global leader in finance, technology, manufacturing, entertainment, and scientific research. Major industries include information technology, healthcare, aerospace, energy, agriculture, and financial services.

			The country is home to many of the world's largest corporations and financial institutions.

			== Demographics ==
			The United States is a multicultural and ethnically diverse nation shaped by centuries of immigration. English is the most widely spoken language, though no official language exists at the federal level.

			The country has some of the world's largest metropolitan areas, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.
