First, Margaret Tatcher, and second, the falkland islands is a dependency of the Brittish crown, so it's like close to be a colony. Unlike Guyana, Guyana it's already an independent state, so, if any country decided to invade it, that wouldn't really affect the Brittish crown. Plus, Suriname has some probability to also invade them, after all they claim some of their southern land (But still Suriname is a very weak country :P). Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, since UK has bad relationships with the actual venezuelan gouverment, it is more likely that they will send a big support to Guyana.

Plus it had also some weird thing to do with the habsburgs and their weird marriage stuff, to the point Austria actually became part of Spain once.

    The thing about Argentina. They are not (directly) called so because of the metal. It is because of the Río de La Plata (The river of the silver). Similar to Uruguay they named themselves after a body of water. The Plata river, on its turn, is called so because it was used to convey the silver mined in Bolivia and Peru to the Buenos Aires harbour and then to Europe. So, in short: Argentina is not named after silver since no silver was mined on Argentina.

Also we share lots of culture with our neighbourgs. Still, i don't get why some brazilians don't consider themselves as latinamericans... i mean, Portugal is a country with latin roots too (also they had a big wave of italian imigration too).

    • @agme8045
      @agme8045 2 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      @@MaverickTsuki it’s not about what the term “Latino” literally means. It’s about how it’s perceived by everyone. Thanks to American media being a Latino means dancing salsa, eating tacos and spicy food, speaking Spanish, living somewhere really hot and tropical year round, living in a place full of organized crime with gangs wanting to kill everyone, drug lords running countries, etc.
      Brazilians don’t fit into “Latin America culture” because Latino culture is overly represented by Spanish speaking Latinos, specially those from central and Northern America.
      How can someone from Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Santa Cruz, Southern Chile, Montevideo, southern Brazil (to name a few) feel Latino when they literally don’t share any similarities with the Latino stereotype?
      We are all quite aware of what being Latino means, of course we are all technically latinos, but do you really feel like one when it comes to how Latinos are portrayed in American/European media? (And that media is reproduced literally everywhere else)
      By the way, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and Romanian people are all “Latinos” too, but have you ever seen them using that word to describe themselves? No, bc we’ve reached a point in which Latino basically means Mexican, Cuban or Puerto Rican culture (or a mix between them all)
      So anyway, I know I’m Latino, but I don’t like using that word to describe myself, I rather think of myself as South American, it feels closer to me, it’s definitely not as stereotyped as “Latino”, and it actually does a better job at describing where I’m from. (Again, a Latino can literally be from 1/2 of the world, if you are south American you can only come from about 14 countries.

    French Guiana IS part of Latin America (Latin America is composed of Hispanic America, Brasil, Haiti, Quebec, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and the French Caribbean).
    Suriname and Guyana aren't part of Latin America because of the language and culture which isn't latin (romance) but germanic based (Guyana is part of Anglo-America and Suriname part of Dutch-America), so those two are part of Germanic America (composed of Anglo-America, Dutch America and Greenland which is a constitutive kingdom of Denmark).
    And for those that say "no, they can't be pan-germanic because race/culture is too diverse" then most Latin America wouldn't be Latin because Latin America is also extremely diverse. Both terms, Latin America and Germanic America, are linguistic terms which also have traits of culture and history. Quebec is as Latin as the French Caribbean and Guyana/Suriname are as Germanic as the British Caribbean or Dutch Caribbean, hence Germanic-American.
