Latin America is the part of the Americas where Romance languages are mainly spoken.[1] It includes Mexico, most of South and Central America, and much of the Caribbean. Latin America does not include French-speaking Canada because it is part of the Global North. Because of its proximity to the United States, it is often targeted by the United States and there have been 56 US military interventions in the region.[2]
