1. Christopher Columbus is traditionally credited with discovering America. He was born in Genoa, Italy, around 1451. Columbus believed he could reach Asia by sailing westward and obtained support from Spain's Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. In 1492, he set sail with three ships—the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña. Instead of reaching Asia, he landed in the Bahamas, marking the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas.

2. The first English settlements in America were established in the early 1600s. England became interested in America for economic reasons, seeking to establish profitable colonies. The Mayflower sailed to America in 1620, carrying Pilgrims seeking religious freedom. They landed in present-day Massachusetts, naming their settlement Plymouth. The colonists faced hardships but eventually established a self-sufficient community.

3. The 13 colonies in America in 1773 were: Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

4. The American colonists fought for independence from England due to issues such as taxation without representation, restrictive trade policies, and a desire for self-governance. The American Revolution, which began in 1775, led to the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the eventual formation of the United States.

5. The colonists were diverse, with varying backgrounds, motivations, and beliefs. They included Puritans seeking religious freedom, economic opportunists, and individuals looking for a fresh start. Over time, a shared sense of identity as Americans developed.

6. Some major U.S. cities include New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia.

7. There are 100 cents in a dollar. Other American coins include the nickel (5 cents), dime (10 cents), and quarter (25 cents).

8. Levi Strauss began making special clothes, namely denim jeans, in San Francisco.

9. The American flag has red and white stripes (13 in total) symbolizing the original 13 colonies, and 50 white stars on a blue field representing the states. People often call it "Old Glory" or "The Stars and Stripes."

10. The eagle became the official national symbol of the USA in 1782. The olive branch in its right talon symbolizes peace, while the bundle of arrows in its left talon symbolizes strength. You can see the picture of the eagle on the Great Seal of the United States.

11. Americans celebrate Independence Day on the 4th of July, commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

12. The capital of the USA is Washington, D.C. The letters D.C. stand for the District of Columbia. People say "Washington, D.C." to specify the capital and distinguish it from the state of Washington on the west coast.
