Latin American countries

Latin American countries are nations in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean where Romance languages—primarily Spanish and Portuguese—are spoken due to their colonial history with Spain and Portugal. These countries have diverse cultures, histories, and economies, ranging from large, influential nations like Brazil and Mexico to smaller, developing countries. They share common experiences with colonialism, independence movements, and social challenges, but each has unique traditions, landscapes, and political systems. The region is known for its vibrant cultures, rich histories, and significant contributions to global art, music, and sports.
