Did Native Americans have a different name for the North American continent before it became known as USA and Canada?

Not that I'm aware of. Note that there were literally hundreds of languages, so there wouldn't be any single word for anything.At the time of the colonization, the native Americans were in a state roughly equivalent to the late stone age in Europe. They didn't develop sailing ships or have as sophisticated a trading system as the Old World got.

The notion of there being separate continents didn't really develop until well into the iron age. Each language certainly had a word for the earth as a whole and for the land; it would be different in every language. The word would generally be equivalent to "here", with no particular notion that there was an "elsewhere" to be.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
