When you say America you certainly mean USA? Or is America a country now?

Technically, America is neither a country nor a continent. But the USA is the only country on either of the continents of the Americas to have the word "America" in its official name. Give the Americans a break.

America is colloquially the USA. The Americas is something else. South America is something else. North America is something else.

Now you have me really curious. When did "that time" start, and when did it end?

		Maybe it started, when the USA became the global power in the half of the 20th century and it stopped when they lost being the free and aspiring country others countries think they should model after, which might be in 2001, or when they openly started extorting their (former) allies, which is under Trump.
