America did not become the United Sates of America. A small geographic portion of it was formed into a nation known as the United States of America.

The landmass known as America or the Americas comprises both North and South America, first named as such in 1507, was named after Italian cartographer Amerigo Vespucci, who produced charts of large sections of the east coast of the Americas.

When the 13 British Colonies in North America declared independence on July 4, 1776, they declared the country so formed by that act to be named the United States of America.
