Central America is not a sub-region of North America, it is an independent region: North America, Central America & South America. 2803:7000:6000:E4A:7122:B354:90C3:7D27 (talk) 21:21, 21 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

And those three sub-continents (or regions) together make America (which is A CONTINENT, not a country) 200.120.227.116 (talk) 03:54, 11 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Central America isnt bound by the Gulf of Mexico to the North as referenced since Mexico is North America.

Panama gets independence from Central America?

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

No. Panama was never part of Central America. It was part of Colombia! People who don't know history should not "fix" text they know nothing about. 173.216.131.85 (talk) 16:14, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
