In the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, explorers from Europe went to Meso America and claimed the land, even though it already belonged to the natives. They used the natives as slaves and killed many of them.

Why are only citizens of the US called American while Mexico and Canada are also on the North American continent?

The terms "Americans" or "American colonists" were used by the British way back when the USA was only a colony of Britain. After the USA was formed, people living in this new country continued to be referred to as Americans. So American people did not choose to call themselves that. If anyone presumed that people in the territory of what is now the USA were the only "Americans," then it was the British. The term is not exclusively used by US citizens either. Many other countries refer to US Citizens as "Americans" also.
