These are separate continents

These are separate continents.

You're still not "America", though.

>Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer, financier, navigator and cartographer who first demonstrated that Brazil and the West Indies did not represent Asia's eastern outskirts as initially conjectured from Columbus' voyages, but instead constituted an entirely separate landmass hitherto unknown to Old Worlders. Colloquially referred to as the New World, this second super continent came to be termed "America", deriving its name from Americus, the Latin version of Vespucci's first name.

The definition of "continent" is arbitrary.

That's nice Blue Peru but what does it have to do with whether America is one or two continents?

I honestly don't know why you people keep fighting this, it's America for every practical purpose in English, it isn't in Latin languages, there's no point of pride or principle here.

And in all fairness Colombians took the one other name their nation could have plausibly used...

The landmass is connected. They're different continents only in terms of culture, like Europe and Asia are. Europe isn't a real geographical continent, but Eurasia is.

>Muwican education
Why are Muwicans always asking for it?

>Panama canal in picture
Nice try, SOUTH American.

Technically, they are. The one above is from Laurasia and the other one is from Gondwana. The formation of Central America is recent.

>62912456
>Laurasia and Gondwana
Millions years ago, yes.
Right now they are connected.

I was taught that America was called that way because of Amerigo Vespucci, the whole thing was called that way, so it is the official name chosen by the first explorers. That is what I remembered, I could be wrong.

Checked and thanks Teddy for inventing a continent.

That picture makes it look like the continents are inside the Earth not outside
Trippy

the panama canal

also if you think North and South America are one continent then Europeans share a continent with Africans

Physically, yes.
But "America" is historicaly refered to "The New World", as the chart of Americo Vespucio was intended. (and he only explored the south american coast)
And by the way, north x and south x are refered to a same "x" element, just as south korea and north korea. Just by simple logic the continental concept of america is "true" on its sintaxis.

OP is trying to bait people into debating whether America is one or two continents not anything about the origin of the name itself.

>Americo Vespucio
Amerigo Vespucci.

The accent in the name goes on the i. Amerìgo.

>America is
The Americas are*

I know, my point was that America is the name of the whole landmass, its just one continent because that is how it was conceptualized by the first explorers before the British.

>the panama canal
Artificial.

How does that matter?

>what is suez canal

Makes sense I guess but the distinction is arbitrary because "continent" is loosely defined, which is what OP is babbling about. If we don't consider Eurasiafrica to be one then there's no reason why the whole landmass of America can't be considered two of them connected by a land bridge.

>what is the Panama Canal?

It feels good being american, south american that is

no shit

In our shools we are told that America is one part of the world, but N. and S. Americas are separate continents.
And vice versa:
Eurasia is one continent, but Europe and Asia are separate parts of the world.

They still are two continents

Dumb tulip poster btfo

What about Mississippi republic?

The what?

You don't know how to quote ?

North is civilized, South isn't.

Do you have a single piece of proofs to back that claim up?

Oh shit dat me

>Mexico

They are in English. The Scots and Welsh have to put up with everyone else calling Britain England: you'll just have to put up with this too. If you don't like it, become more relevant.

Sure op, you and your country are special little snowflakes.
