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

butteredbarmbrack · 05/03/2018 23:22

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

Timetobookaholiday · 05/03/2018 23:24

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.

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.

Clem7 · 06/03/2018 01:26

It is in North America.

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

NSEA · 06/03/2018 01:29

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

SuperBeagle · 06/03/2018 01:30

North.

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

Cavender · 06/03/2018 01:30

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

Cavender · 06/03/2018 01:32

South America starts at the isthmus of Panama.

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

safariboot · 06/03/2018 01:36

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.
