If they didn't become what the Bible says they would, then the Bible is in complete error and should be declared false. No other way around it.

I'm sorry but biblical prophecy is subject to interpretation. I have read the Bible and I have yet to see the words 'America or England'.

I would say this is incorrect. It either stands or falls on it's own merits.
I mean, when you say Christian do you mean Protestant or Catholic or something in between?

It really doesn't matter. The Christian Identity movement uses the word 'Christian'. Lots of organizations do but it doesn't mean they are Christian. These people are basically white supremacists. To be more exact, anti Semites.

So those in the position to dictate would have you believe.
Archaeology can in not way prove it.

I would have to say that there are many Christians, myself included, who do not believe that Ephraim and Manasseh are England and America. But it is just an opinion. As most interpretations are. If you believe it and wish others to believe it then you have to supply some proof.

What matters is: is the Bible, not men, correct in what it says?

I would have to say that it is correct. It is the interpretation of men that is highly suspect. And I think that this is one of those cases.
