It's in Central America. North America is USA & Canada.

You're both wrong - I'm with pp who said Central America.

Sorry I should have said which continent was Mexico on.. there isn't as Central America..
So is it in the north or south continent?

According to Anne O'Neill s link North

I lived there for a few years it is part of North America. It is part of NAFTA with USA and Canada, the North America Free Trade Agreement.

Did you know that a large portion of the Western United States used to be a part of Mexico? On February 2, 1848, U.S. and Mexican officials met in Mexico City to sign the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The agreement brought an end to the Mexican War after nearly two years and extended the U.S. west to the Pacific Ocean with 525,000 square miles of former Mexican territory. The new American territory included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, most of New Mexico and Arizona, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.
Good luck with telling people from the above states they live in South America or even Central America.

North America

Obvs North America

Since when was Central America a continent? 😂
Central America is in North America.

Did you know that a large portion of the Western United States used to be a part of Mexico? yeah of course i did

It's a quote from a website, but I would guess a fair few Brits wouldn't. It wasn't anything I had ever given any thought to until I ended up there. It's hardly part of the syllabus here. That fact the question has come up at all shows how little geography we are taught at school now.

It is in North America.

The ‘Cenrtral America’ people might as well be saying ‘France isn’t in Europe, it’s in Western Europe’.

You choose mumsnet over google to prove something so easily proven with a map?

North.

North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which is in the news at the moment, is comprised of the USA, Canada and Mexico.

There are more than 20 countries on the North American continent.

South America starts at the isthmus of Panama.

Entertainly I know this because I’ve been testing my DS on his geography homework tonight.

North or Central, but definitely not South! When Central America is not considered a separate region, the border between north and south is the Panama-Colombia border at the southern end of the narrow bit.

Geology trivia: That narrow connection only rose above the sea a few million years ago, recent by geology standards.
