List with COUNTRIES and CAPITALS of North America

Since geography exists, human beings have tended to divide the world in different ways, one of these being the so-called continents. The continents are large masses of land that we have called by different names, and that even we have divided into subcontinentsThe best known case being that of the three subcontinents of America. To talk about the states of one of these subcontinents in this lesson from a PROFESSOR we are going to talk about North American countries and capitals.

division of the continent It has two main reasons, being its enormous size one of them, since it is the second largest continent largest in the world, and the other reason is the great difference that exists due to cultural differences between the three zones.

North America is located north of Central America and to the south of the Arctic Ocean, while to the east and west it is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is a continent close to most continents, having the northeast Greenland that communicates with Europe, at southeast being communicated with the Caribbean and also to the northwest with the Bering Strait that separates it from the area Asian.

To better understand the extension of the countries in this area, we must talk about different parts of the continent such as km2 and the number of inhabitants. As for its extension, it is 23,663,760 km², being greater than the other two subcontinents that make up America. On the other hand, the number of inhabitants of the subcontinent is 471.000.000 people, being also higher than the population of the other two parts of America.

The issue of countries in North America is complex, since depending on the sources we consult we can find a number or another of states, the studies being Germans more likely to include Central American and Caribbean countries, while Hispanics tend to include only three state. In this lesson we are going to use a middle ground, including the Caribbean countries, but not to the Central Americans since we consider that the countries of this region belong to a different subcontinent.

It should be noted that this list is written in 2019/2020 so changes may exist if they are consulted in other years, depending on possible annexations or independence of the states that make up the list of North American countries.

To list the North American countries we are going to use the same method that has already been used in previous lessons on country lists sovereigns of continents, placing on the left the name of the state and on the right the name of the capital.

Dependencies and other class of North American states in 2019.

To continue this lesson on the countries and capitals of North America, we must talk about those dependent nations of the region, that is, those that they do not have their own sovereignty.

Dependencies are a little known topic, so before listing them we must briefly explain their meaning. Dependencies are territories that are formed as states, but that they do not have their own autonomy, not existing a total sovereignty over their lands. They are a kind of satellite states, since the country that is sovereign over them is usually at a great distance.

On the other hand in North America we find a very special country case, not being a sovereign state since they depend on a metropolis, but neither having the denomination of dependencies, being halfway between both options. We are going to include this class of states in this lesson in the dependencies section, sharing a greater number of characteristics with these than with sovereign states.

To list the dependencies and other special cases of North American states we are going to follow a system similar to the one used in the previous section and to the one used in previous lessons similar, adding the name of the state to which the dependencies belong, since the special states also have a metropolis state. On the left we will place the name of the dependency, on the right the name of its capital and finally in parentheses we will place the state on which they depend.
