America involves the histories of Spain, England, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Russia, Africa and S. America.

America's native tribes goes hand in hand with the colonial struggles of the rival European empires. "I think I'll call it America," he said as we hit land.
