Is a country located primarily in North America. It consists of 48 contiguous states covering the central part of the North America, the state of Alaska occupying the northwestern portion of North America, the state of Hawaii in the Pacific, and several unincorporated territories in the Caribbean and in the Pacific. The United States of America was created on July 4, 1776, with the U.S. Declaration of Independence of thirteen British colonies in North America. The U.S. expanded their territory gradually. It initially controlled the east coast. The territory up to the Mississippi River was added with the Treaty of Paris of 1783 with Great Britain, then the U.S. acquired the central region of the contiguous states with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. With the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) the western and southwestern territory of the contiguous states, including Texas and California, was acquired. Hawaii was annexed in 1898. Alaska, the last major acquisition in North America, was purchased from Russia in 1867.
