    America is a continent, composed by North America and South America

    United States is a nation from North America

    What does this title even mean ? What if Columbus didn’t exist ? By the way, if you’d asked yourself why so many African countries spoke French, you wouldn’t have drawn your map this way.

    EDIT: Oh my, this is bad… Didn’t see that the left part of the map was the current East of Asia.

    I owe everyone an apology for my mistake. I will not delete my post as a reminder of my own stupidity.

        My point was that OP’s title is not clear.

      You:

      America is a continent, composed by North America and South America

      The title:

      What if America didn’t exist?

      You can see that there is no America on the map, Columbus wound up in the Orient like he intended

      You’ll notice if you look that North America and South America are missing from the map. That’s what the title means.

      Also, there’s no consensus on how many continents there are. Someone from the US would be very surprised to hear that North and South America are the same continent.
