why are they not one country? they speak the same language and they virtually have the same culture.
throw brazil in there (difference between spanish and portuguese is relatively small) and they could have been the united states of south america but instead they chose to split themselves in arbitrary groups because...?
Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark should be part of germany. You all are almost the same and speak nearly the same langugage anyways.
some countries are legit shitholes, the less thing stable countries want is violent foreigners in their home
>of south america
But we're in North America. Fix your mistakes next time you write a fanfiction.
if it's the same country they're not foreigners
you're culturally south american and you know it
different cultures though
This kek. Op is a fucking retard
>you're culturally south american and you know it
Nope. Their culture comes from the american southwest and north mexico
>their
didn't you mean "our" chicano
I'm a white american from new mexico and consider mexicans our north american brothers. Their culture is not that different from ours.
>white american
oxymoron
cope
the problems with a unified Hispanic America
1. too spread out
how are you going to administrate a narrow gigantic transcontinental state like that? From the Southern Cone to Peru they are squeezed by Brazil; from Ecuador to North America there is the isthmus. Not to mention natural barriers like that Amazon rainforest.
2. cultural differences
Totally different natives lead to different cultural formations. The natives from these territories are very distinct from each other, unlike in Brazil where you mostly have two main groups but with similar traditions like cassava farming, architecture, food, dances, body painting etc. Brazilian natives had different languages but their shared geography led to cultural exchange and areal features.
Different colonization processes also led to different ethnic interactions that resulted in different cultures, as you see in the Afro-Caribbean sphere, the tri-racial Gran Colombia, the mining centers in the Andes, the isolated Chile etc.
3. Too unequal economic conditions
both the different colonial processes and the divergent political history post independence let to radical contrasts within Hispanic America. You would have to deal with advanced economies like Chile in the same country you have Bolivia and Central America. Wealthier places won't accept easily to lose much money because of backwards regions and these backwards regions will feel cheated by the economic concentration and for being poor while other parts are prospering.
also you can't just put Brazil inside this mix because all the problems I said are intensified considering Brazil is even more different from Hispanic America than they are between themselves.
Portuguese and Spanish are similar but there is a real language barrier because pronunciation is very different. The Brazilian public don't consume Hispanic media for this reason. Half of the new country would feel alienated by the Spanish bias
once there was a guy, i mean a group of guys. they are called anglos and wanted to fuck over napoleonic spain so they fucked their colonies and the future of half the continent with it.
Thats why some call them the eternal schiming anglo, the big J of europe or simply (them)
>difference between spanish and portuguese is relatively small
Why don't all the North and Central European countries become one country? Difference between German and Dutch/Swedish is relatively small anyway
>different cultures though
Netherlands and Germany? How?
>Be you
>Be blonde
>Pay taxes
>Obey government
>Cities clean as fuck
>Excellent public transport, infrastructure and state services
>Bike to work
>Eat sausage and potato
>Drink beer
>Politically correct at work but racist behind closed doors
>Listen to dumb volk music
>Have tons of MENA refugees and fast food
I insist, everything between Norway - Switzerland and east Belgium - Germany really should be one country
>t. lowest saxony
>all continent speaking 2 languages
>all countries stemming with spanish colonial heritage
>this is the same as merging half of europe together
lmao
But for real why isnt this a thing? None of the arguments given ITT apply here
>However, the constant fights between the conservatives and liberals due to ideological differences led to the federation’s dissolution in 1840.
>central america as it's own cunt
>instead of being of being annexed to glorious neo mexica empire
then do it.
>>all continent speaking 2 languages
The countries I mentioned speak exactly 3 languages, German, Swedish and Dutch. Those languages have the same linguistic distance among themselves as Portuguese does from Spanish.
Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark and Belgium don't have a new language.
>>all countries stemming with spanish colonial heritage
All countries have Germanic cultural heritage and they're not even colonies which means they never had to assimilate other cultures.
>>this is the same as merging half of europe together
No, it's harder. Merging "half of Europe" is far easier. Less people, less area, smaller cultural difference
>Lmao
Literally no u
