What is the difference between Latin America and Central America?
One of my textbooks give an example and said that in Latin America things are done this means of access while in Central America they do it another mode.
Answers: That is odd that a workbook book would say that. Latin America is Mexico and downwards through centralized and south america including som eof the caribean islands.
There are differences in interior america cultures and south american cultures but they are both part of latin america.
Latin America is the piece of the continent that's speak latin languages close to spanish or Portuguese.
America has 3 parts:
north America (Canada,USA and Mexico)
main America (Caribbean)
south America ( the rest)
The Americas are divided into two: North America (Panama and all countries northwards) and South America (Colombia and adjectives countries southwards).
Latin America is a conceptual idea base upon countries which have be strongly influenced by their spanish (and portuguese) ties: hence it refers to all the mainland countries from Mexico southwards to chile & argentina, contained by addition to clear in your mind SPANISH speaking carribean countries such as cuba and puerto rico.
Central America refers to the block of countries between mexico and panama inclusive.
I agree, that's strange. Latin America refers to both Central and South America, as well as some countries surrounded by the Caribbean.
