IS MEXICO LATIN OR NORTH AMERICA?

I think Mexico is Latin and North America, because it covers
Characteristics from both regions. To start, geographicallytalking, Mexico is located at the southern tip of North America. North America includes Canada, The United States, Greenland, Mexico, the Central Americancountries, and the Caribbean island nations. North America stretches from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

Butalso, Mexico, the Central American countries, and the Caribbean island nations along with the South America Nations, make up Latin America. Latin America it isconsidered culturally to the countries, which were former colonies of Spain, Portugal and France. Those 3 countries have their languages originated from ancientLatin hence the name “Latin America.”
Mexico is the farthest north of the Latin American countries.
Culturally talking, Mexico shares many common traits such aslanguage, religion and general traditions t other countries in Latin America, such as Cuba, Peru or Argentina.

To conclude with this question I could tell thatMexico is considered North America because of its location and because most of the maps are made by the United States and they prefer to include Mexico in theirboundaries so they can save problems and make some kind of treaties. We can also see the huge differences in economics and country development between Mexico andCanada and the United States, so probably Mexico is more considered to be Latin America because of the similar characteristics all these countries have in common.
