The most developed countries of America. The states of Latin and Central America and a little bit about the US

America is part of the world, which consists of two continents, South and North America, and a number of adjacent islands. It was discovered on October 12, 1492 during the expedition of Christopher Columbus, who in fact was determined to find a sea route to India and China. Most of the local population speaks the languages of the Indo-European family. For example, in North America they speak mainly English, in Mexico and South America - in Spanish, in Brazil - in Portuguese, and in Canada - in French.

Territorial division

The countries of America are grouped as follows:

• North America. This part includes the USA, Canada, Greenland and a number of islands.
• South America consists of Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Guyana, Chile and Suriname.
• Central America includes Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Guatemala and Costa Rica.
• The Caribbean is a region that includes the islands of the Caribbean Sea, formerly known as the West Indies.

Latin America: countries and capitals

This region is located between the USA and Antarctica, on its territory there are 33 states and 13 colonies. The region covers about 15% of the world's land area. The very term "Latin" in the title of this part of America is explained simply. The languages spoken by the inhabitants of this region were derived from Latin.

The countries of Latin America are divided into the following categories:

• Middle America. This part includes the West Indies, Mexico and some countries of Central America.
• The Andean states are Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador.
• The Latin countries are Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina.

The largest countries of Latin America are Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, etc. The capital of Brazil is the city of Brasilia. Every year the state is visited by a huge number of tourists. Sunny Brazil attracts both classical architectural monuments, and beautiful parks and waterfalls. Argentina is another colorful country, its capital is Buenos Aires. It is famous for its many kilometers of sunny beaches and friendly residents. And, finally, Mexico, with its capital in Mexico City, is widely known throughout the world for its cuisine.

Countries of Central America

This region is located between South and North America. The countries of this region, which were listed above, though not allocated economically, still play an important role in the political arena of this part of the world. This is mainly because the important transport arteries connecting the two continents pass through them.

The countries of America, the North and South, are connected by the Panama Canal. Despite the relative economic stability of states and their geopolitical advantages, the level of development of even the largest cities remains unsatisfactory. This is due to a constant outflow of population in the US and South America in search of a better share (although the opposite is true - people leave precisely because of the disorder, wanting to improve their lives).

Most of the states of Central America have access to the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This helps maintain a steady flow of tourists who want to luxuriate on the beaches. Only two states have access to only one of the oceans, these are Salvador and Belize.

USA

The most developed state in this part of the world (and from various points of view) is the United States. High economic indicators contribute to the fact that people from all over the world have been flocking here for several centuries. Rationally will tell the most interesting about the US:

• The largest denomination of the state (in free circulation) is 100 dollars.
• Ironically, the American flag consists of flowers that are present on the flags of many Slavic states.
• Most of the food here is produced in the state of California.
• In the US there is no state language, although most of the population speaks English.
• During its existence, the state was ruled by 44 presidents.
• The national animal of the country is the bald eagle.
• Initially, the state consisted of 13 colonies, which decided to declare their independence in 1776.
• In some states of the country, cannabis cultivation is officially permitted. Perhaps, in part this determines the influx of migrants.
• The USA is located in six time zones.
• Native Americans - Indians - were not official citizens of the country until 1924.
• The national flower of the state is a rose.

Conclusion

The countries of America differ in their geographical features, political status, religion and much more. But each of them is special and noteworthy in its own way. The most developed countries of America play an important role in the political arena, and the less developed ones are a constant source of labor.
