Guatemala is part of Mexico and Cuba is in Miami
Why did I always think North America only included the U.S., Canada, and Mexico?

a human from guatemala is as much of an american as someone from the u.s. of america is. thats just a 100 % objective fact.
There is no other way you can spin this without being very wrong.
Wrong!
In the US we aren't called Americans because we're in North America. We're called Americans because we live in "The United States Of AMERICA". It's literally part of the name of our country.
There is no country called "Guatemala Of America."

I swear this is what I was taught in school when I was a kid. Now I see that it includes all of the Caribbean islands and has something like 23 countries in total. I can't be the only one who thought it was just the three
No worries. Trump thought it only included the US and Canada.

I am guessing that if you are an American, you were likely educated in a state that is at present a Pro-Trump state
No topic can be discussed without someone making it about Trump

Put it this way, if asked to name the countries in North America on Jeopardy, the correct answer would be USA, Canada and Mexico.
I love this. Using tv quiz show answers as the definitive truth is about the most American thing I've ever heard.

Greenland and Iceland (half of) are North America too

It depends on what the agreed definition of North America is.

The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, abbreviated as CONCACAF (/ˈkɒnkəkæf/ KON-kə-kaf; typeset for branding purposes since 2018 as Concacaf), is one of FIFA's six continental governing bodies for association football. Its 41 member associations represent countries and territories mainly in North America, including the Caribbean and Central America, and, due to geopolitical reasons, three nations from the Guianas subregion of South America—Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana (an overseas region of France). The CONCACAF's primary functions are to organize competitions for national teams and clubs, and to conduct the World Cup and Women's World Cup qualifying tournaments.This post was edited 1 minute after it was posted.00 -

Yeah, you were only a handful that thought North America didn't include the Caribbean islands.
