It was actually named for Richard Amerike, a wealthy English merchant, royal customs officer and sheriff of Bristol.
>>61124884
It was George Washington's middle name dumbass, everybody knows that.

The etymology of "Italy" is actually lost to history. Unlike the young America.

Juhani Aamerikka was a Finnish intergalatic sailor who first laid eyes on new continent and bought it for 2 liquorice bars and one shot of single malt whiskey from the local fauna.

i'm pretty sure americans completly ignore what mexicans are really, they probably thinks they are some kind of brown people living on the other side of the boarder and they speak spanish since the world was made because "God made the world like that" or some kind of redneck logic, ignoring they are just mongrels offsprings from spaniards settlers and local indians.
i'm pretty sure some of them actually believe United States existed in the middle ages.
>>61125400
Yeah, and she fucked the bull.
That's why Europe is named after her, because you're cucks.

They also saved the settlement from dying of starvation because of a strike.
