The USA has ALWAYS been a country!!!!
I assume you are asking when did North America become known as the United States?
It was known to be called "America" back in 1507.
"On 4 July 1776, at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence; in 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states and one federal district, and has a number of overseas territories."
To all the people who answered "1776", THAT was when the Declaration of Independance was signed for ONLY 13 colonies.
Hope I helped.
:)

Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783.

We studied it in history today - I think after they signed the Paris Treaty in 1823, the former 13 Colonies became the Untied States of America. I think.
If this is for homework, good luck.
Hehe.
If you're just bored, there are better things to ask about.
No, my bad, it was 4th of July, 1776.
Sorry. Can you tell I'm English?

Technically, in 1783, when the Revolutionary War was finally settled. The present system of government came into effect in 1789.
