The United States of America plays a leading role in the world community. Researchers call this state an empire that influences the politics of Western countries. Tourists who plan to visit the American states should familiarize themselves with the history of its formation.

The United States of America is easy to find on the map - they are located on the continent called North America and occupy a large part of it. A state in the United States is a territorial unit, by joining them over a number of years, the United States of America was formed.

The exact answer to the question of how many states there are in the United States can be given to those who are seriously engaged in the study of this state. To be precise, today the USA consists of 50 states. Colombia, sometimes listed as the 51 states, is actually a federal district, an independent federal unit. In addition to this, the United States has several island territories that also have sovereignty, they are not subordinate to any state. Each state is divided into districts administered by city municipalities. Rural areas may consist of townships.

Each state is a federation, and they all have equal rights. There is nothing unusual in this, a similar structure can be found in other large states. It is interesting that all states are equal, but they have their own branches of government and their own constitution. Therefore, for the same crime in each state, there may be a different punishment.

US state names, detailed alphabetical list

When studying the United States, questions may arise from a person who knows English well. The thing is that the word "state" can be translated not only as "states", but also as "state". In the middle of the 17th century, when the United States was in the formative stage, individual colonies were considered states.

Each state has not only its own capital, but also a flag and a motto. Next, we list the US states and their capitals.

Moreover, the state capital is not necessarily the largest city. The word "state" has been used in its modern sense since 1776, after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. At that time, the United States consisted of 46 states. Although you can still find indications that these were separate states. For example, the official flag of California has the inscription "Republic of California".

Confederate States of America

There was a period in the history of the United States when the state was practically divided into two parts. And although this lasted only 4 years, the fact remains: in 1861, the Confederate States of America (CSA) appeared. This is a self-proclaimed independent state, which was also called "Confederation" or "Dixie". It existed until 1865. What was the reason for its occurrence?

It is sometimes believed that the Confederation was formed as a result of the abolition of slavery in the United States, which started the Civil War. This is not entirely correct, because the CSA appeared after Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election. As a result, 6 southern states announced their withdrawal from the United States. A month later, Texas joined them. And when Abraham Lincoln announced that he intended to achieve the preservation of the Union, 4 more states announced that they would join the Confederacy.

Sometimes it is believed that the Confederation included not 11, but 13 American states. This is partly correct. The fact is that Kentucky and Missouri turned out to be “border states” between the USA and the CSA. For a while, there were two governments, one on the side of the United States, and the second supported the Confederation. Basically, the CSA included states that did not want to abandon the slave system. Although Maryland was a slave state, martial law was introduced in time, so it remained part of the United States. Delaware remained neutral until the very end of the war. In 1865, the Confederation, having suffered a defeat in hostilities, ceased to exist. These states changed the constitution and abolished slavery.

Texas is a state in the southern United States. It is in second place on a territorial basis (only Alaska is larger) and in second place after California in terms of population. At first, this territory belonged to Mexico, and then there was a separate state that existed for almost 10 years - from 1836 to 1845. It appeared as a result of the war in the north-east of Mexico.

Several reasons are given as to why problems in Mexico led to war. On the one hand, the dictatorship of the Mexican president, on the other hand, the adoption of a new constitution in the country, thanks to which slavery was abolished in 1835. As a result, Texas gained independence in 1836. The state was recognized by the international community as a separate state. But the hostilities did not stop.

Clashes between Mexico and Texas continued for another 10 years. And only as a result of the US victory in the war with Mexico (1846-1848), the issue of territorial claims was settled - Texas received freedom. But most Texans have wanted to join the United States before. Texas is the only independent state in the United States recognized by other countries. Although the separatist movements seeking the independence of this state of America are still active. They believe that Texas was annexed by the United States.

Kingdom and Republic

are islands located in the Pacific Ocean. They are located at a distance of 3700 km from the continental part of America. This is the most recent state that became part of the United States, and this happened already in the 20th century - in 1959. But at first it was a kingdom, and then a separate republic. Why did the islands, located far from the USA, become part of this state as one of the states?

In the 18th century, Hawaii had several semi-state structures. Then King Kamehameha I managed to unite the islands by force and establish a single kingdom. Since 1810, for 85 years, one dynasty ruled here. In 1893, a coup d'état took place in Hawaii with the support of American sailors. But the United States refused to annex the islands, believing that it was contrary to the popular will of the Hawaiians. As a result of the coup, a republic appeared instead of a kingdom. But in 1898 they fell under the protectorate of the United States, and already in the middle of the 20th century they became one of the states. It is considered to be the “sugar” state of the USA.

The most amazing states in the US

What American states can be distinguished and what should you pay attention to? It is difficult to find an unambiguous answer to this question, because each of them has a “zest”. The absence of a state language is also a hallmark of America.

The names of many states have unusual origins.

  1. As the researchers note, 25 or 26 names have Indian roots.
  2. The name of the northernmost state of Alaska is taken from the language of the Eskimos.
  3. Only 20 states have names of European origin: 11 are English, 6 are Spanish and 3 are French.
  4. There is an assumption that Rhode Island is a Dutch toponym.

But what about the Americans, did they really not give a name to a single state? It turns out that there is one, and we are talking about the state of Washington. It is named after President D. Washington.

There are states that are distinguished by their extraordinary beauty.

  1. Florida is the southernmost part of North America. It is often referred to as the "Sunshine State".
  2. Oregon is full of contrasts and variety of landscapes. He could easily compete with the panoramas presented in the film "The Lord of the Rings".
  3. Michigan is known for its natural beauty. In addition, there are many large lakes.
  4. Colorado is famous for rocky mountains and unusually beautiful canyons. This state is often called the home of wonderful national parks.
  5. stands out for its richness of flora and fauna.
  6. Arizona has amazingly beautiful canyons. They are visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year.

The United States was formed in 1776 when 13 British colonies signed the Declaration of Independence. From that moment on, England lost power over them. In order to regain the colonial territories again, troops had to be sent in. This provoked the war, thanks to which the United States gained independence. But some of the colonies still remained loyal to the English crown. In 1787, the Constitution was adopted, which was ratified by 9 of the 13 states. During the late 18th and throughout the 19th century, other states joined. In the 20th century, the United States included the remaining five: Oklahoma (1907), New Mexico (1912), Arizona (1912), Alaska (1959) and (1959).

Why is the District of Columbia (Washington) not part of any state

The District of Columbia is the capital city of the United States of Washington, as well as the territory adjacent to it. Repeated attempts were made to make it a separate state, but American legislators have not come to an unequivocal decision. The last time this issue was submitted for discussion in Congress was in 1993. But the project was rejected. This is also due to the fact that only one person is delegated to the House of Representatives from the district. Yes, and without the right to vote.

Conclusion

Can it be argued that the number of US states will remain the same tomorrow? There is no specific answer to this question. For more than 100 years, this figure has been unstable. Today, several territories and states would not refuse to join the United States as separate states. The most likely candidate is Puerto Rico. It is quite possible that the 51st state under this name will soon appear. The Philippines, Haiti, and Yucatan are also candidates.

The states are very similar in division with Russia, because. have an identity in the political system. The USA is a federal presidential republic, which consists of states.

Each state within the federation is a first-level administrative division, followed by a division into districts.

They got this name from the English "counties". The third division after the county is called "township", and the power of each individual county decides how many units will be divided.

What it is

To answer the question of what the United States is, it is necessary to plunge into the history of their creation. Initially, the country appeared from the British colonies, which eventually formed the first states.

Wars became the further development and capture of new territories. Some territories were given without bloodshed, however, they are a minority.

Thus, new lands were added to the initial territory of the state, which in later times are called states or commonwealths. The name "states" comes from the original inhabitants of these territories, the Indians.

The state is the largest or main territorial unit, and has considerable sovereignty, but is inferior to the universal federal power in relation to other states, despite having its own constitution.

It should not contradict federal. As for the legal aspects of the United States by state, they, like the Russian regions, have their own legislative framework, which regulates the relations of its inhabitants.

In this regard, the American has the opportunity to choose the state for residence, which is most suitable for him according to the laws, because. each such territorial unit may have completely opposite laws. At the same time, each state should not contradict a single federal law.

How much was originally

Many people still don't know exactly how many states there are in the US. However, the United States was not always such a powerful state, but was gradually built from the British colonies and other nearby territories.

From the day of the reunification of the lands that inhabited the British colonies, there were 13 territorial units.

However, this figure constantly changed upwards due to wars and the desire of some lands to join this state.

Already by 1776, the state proclaimed its independence as part of 13 states, and since 1959 the territory began to increase rapidly, resulting in the formation of 50 units.

Then, with the advent of the Civil War, the number of states decreased significantly. The territorial units of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi were detached for a war period, but after the end of the war they rejoined.

Hawaii has a special history as a state. They did not immediately join, remaining an independent kingdom.

But over time, many entrepreneurs go there, for whom, over time, it becomes unprofitable to work without unification of territories. Therefore, it was decided to join Hawaii to the United States.

They became the final state at number 50. Today, the United States represents one of the longest territories around the world, and ranks 4th in size.

The number of states has also increased significantly, reaching 50 states. Each state has its own motto, constitution and flag, and together they make up a huge country.

In addition to these territories, the United States has many dependent territories that are subject to federal law.

At the moment, these include a number of islands in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as a separate district - Columbia.

The legislative framework

The US Constitution is the supreme law over others. Declaration of Independence, dated 1776, which included the first thirteen states.

After that, starting in 1791, other territories began to join. These are Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi and others.

Treaty of Paris on the independence of the United States in 1783, thanks to which the United States was proclaimed and recognized as neighboring states.

Full list

The current composition of the states, there are 50 units, and one potential entry - Colombia.

about the fifty-first

For the past few decades, the state has been discussing the consideration of additional territories in its composition.

Such applicants include the District of Columbia, and many others who want to officially join a single state.

Colombia and its fate were last considered by the federal authorities in 1993, but this attempt was never successful.

Despite this, the district has not withdrawn its candidacy to this day, so the outcome of this event can be completely unpredictable.

The denial of incorporation became the State of Washington, which was an instant denial, as these states have special knowledge for the country.

No matter how paradoxical it may sound, but Washington, which is the capital of the whole country, is located in Colombia.

Some media very often mention other countries that want to be part of the United States. These include Israel, Mexico, Iraq, and even Georgia.

The last state that was annexed to the state was Hawaii. They rounded the number of states to 50 units back in 1976.

Since then, no one has received accession. A historical fact that strikes many Russians is the purchase of the state of Alaska, which used to be part of the Russian Empire. At the moment it is one of the largest units in the country.

The US government has repeatedly expressed a desire to join Puerto Rico, but so far this is not possible. Also, there were intentions to separate New York, declaring it a separate state.

If we draw conclusions about the coveted 51 states, then for sure, it will soon be, however, who exactly will enter or become one, while this is a secret for everyone, even the United States itself.

This is due to a very complicated entry procedure. Firstly, for this it is necessary that the joining territory create its own constitution, and this document will be considered by the Congress of States, and only with its consent it is possible to enter.

51 states can be any of the listed territories, because. this term means the desire or consideration of a candidate for this position among all applicants.

The United States is very proud of its states, and once a presidential candidate was told about the desire to proclaim the state of the moon if it gains enough population.

However, this desire is rather transcendental, because. according to the law, outer space cannot be assigned to any country.

List of dependent territories

Dependent territories are parts of the land that are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, but are not officially part of it.

The historical past of such territories was made up of colonies that were liberated, but could not join any state.

For the United States, such land was called a colony, and after their collapse, they began to form and be called dependent lands, which have a small population.

For example, the islands in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans are dependent on this state.

The peculiarity of this dependence lies in the observance of US federal laws, but the inhabitants of these territories do not have the right to vote and participate in the elections of its governing country.

I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the dependent lands in more detail:

  • Puerto Rico;
  • Guam;
  • Eastern Samoa;
  • Micronesia;
  • Part of the Virgin Islands;
  • Northern Mariana Islands.
  • Republic of the Marshall Islands;
  • Commonwealth of the North Mariana Islands;
  • Republic of Palau.

The United States gave these territories its own powers, leaving itself control over world politics on their behalf and protection.

Special attention should be paid to Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau, because they are members of the UNPO, which indicates only conditional dependence on the states.

The largest of the dependent territories is Puerto Rico. It is located on part of the Caribbean islands adjacent to the states. The states also include its small outer islands.

Video: interesting facts

They include small islands with low population. These are Baker, Jarvis, Johnson, Navassa Islands. The latter island is disputed between the Republic of Haiti.

The names of the states were chosen during the formation of the first states by the Indians. However, newer states have names from English words, French, Spanish, etc., depending on the territory of the capture.

Friends, imagine the situation: you are going to travel to the United States of America. But America is a big country, this state consists of 50 states and one district. In this case, the question arises, which state to visit first?

Today we will briefly introduce you to the US states, and you will decide which one you like best. So, go!

So friends, so how many states are there in the US? As we have already mentioned, there are only 50 states in America and one District of Columbia. Each state is an equal subject of the federation, each has its own constitution, as well as legislative, executive and judicial powers. In addition, each state has its own coat of arms and flag.

The US states are divided into districts - these are smaller administrative units, they are smaller than a state, but no less than a city. In total, there are 3,141 counties in the United States, with the fewest counties in the state of Delaware - 3, and the most in the state of Texas - 254.

The so-called unincorporated territories have a special status. These are Puerto Rico, the Federation of Micronesia, Eastern Samoa, the Virgin Islands, etc. These territories can theoretically suspend or terminate their privileged relations with the US capital Washington.

Learn the names of states in English!

When asked how many states in the US, we answered. Now let's move on to the states of America themselves.

Those who study English, it is desirable to know the names of American states in English. A little lower we will give a complete list of US states, but for now a few words about their names.

Friends, of course, you know that once upon a time Indians lived on the territory of America. That is why some state names come from the names of Indian tribes, for example, the state of Delaware (a tribe of Delaware Indians).

In addition, since America was a British colony for a long time, some state names come from the names of English kings.

Some names come from the names of French kings. In the XVIII century, France helped America in the struggle for independence from Britain. At that time, King Louis XVI sent an army led by the Marquis de Lafayette to help the American rebels. And since Louis is Louis in French, the state of Louisiana appeared.

It's curious!

I would like to say a few more words about the American states.

The territory of Alaska once belonged to the Russian Empire. Russia then did not have the opportunity to protect and develop this territory, so the authorities decided to sell it. The signing of the sale agreement took place on March 30, 1867 in Washington. Alaska was sold for $7.2 million in gold, which was considered a very good deal at the time.

Much later it turned out that there is a lot of gold in Alaska and crowds of Americans rushed there in search of happiness (you can read about this from the famous American writer Jack London). It turned out that America acquired a very profitable territory.

It is worth saying that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a free state. It is located in the Caribbean Sea and occupies the Antilles. Puerto Rico has only a territorial dependence on the United States, which consists in the presence of American citizenship, defense and currency. Otherwise, Puerto Rico is in full self-government.

With regard to the city of New York or New York City, Congress has repeatedly considered the issue of granting statehood to the city. The fact is that the city includes five large districts: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island. In addition, the city is a global financial center. For economic reasons, one of the representatives of the City Council submitted to Congress a proposal to designate the "51st state" and separate from the state of New York itself.

Now, friends, you already know something about the US states, you just have to choose which ones you would like to visit. See you on our website!
