Is there a chance North and South America will be combined into one country?

I'm not an American but I hope you don't mind if I make a comment as my major in university was American Studies. Plus I think it's good to get lots of people's opinion.

In my opinion I think that the two countries have very different cultures and a very different climate. I personally would think that it would be hard for the two countries to become one as even though there is debt in America there is far more in South America.

I would also think that the United States wouldn't want to have to share even more of their economy with others because at the end of the day that would make it even harder for North Americans.

Imagine for a minute that the poor Southern Americans could simply walk into the United States and get a job - I could see that being a problem. Also I have been to the states several times and I know how patriotic the United States is - would the South Americans want to be a part of that patriotism.

Both North and South America would have to be willing to share and get on with each other. I'm sure the United States would find it difficult. Would it still be the united states? They would have to have a name that suit everyone.

It is a good question that you have raised but it doesn't have a black and white answer. Maybe two countries joining together would raise the economy.

You can't get 2 countries to hardly agree on anything, how the heck would they get around 20 to do so.

Oh Gawd no! worse!

No. that is the craziest thing i've ever heard.

North America and South America are continents made up of many countries. I doubt that these countries have any desire to unite with each other. Even if they did they would still be considered seperate continents.

haha, no

there are like over a dozen countries in south america who have a long history of getting smacked around by the USA. these people dont want to be American and dont want to be anywhere near Americans.

additionally, the USA is a country that wont even accept immigrants from its neighboring countries. why in the world would the USA accept the assimilation of South american nations?

if such a thing ever happened - the entire land mass (north and south) standard of living would drop to below poverty level. that includes USA and Canada.

That would be too big a land to govern with one governing office. There would have to be smaller governments to govern each region, but eventually these systems would fight each other for power. Also, at this point, the rulers of each country would never want to give up power to someone else to rule the one new big nation. Also, a lot of people wouldn't accept it. There would be language barriers. There would be racism. There would be chaos. But other than that, I honestly think it could help. It would just be difficult to stabalize some regions of South and Central America before we could become strong as a nation.

Never

The USA would never agree. We have enough welfare cases already. We cant be the daddy to all south and North American. And yes we would be.

Not in our lifetime!

No. There are three very distinct cultures in North America alone and ten cultures in South America. Making that one nation would have the effect of making the american culture the culture of all the Americas.

Black Cloud

Nope. No chance. Most people in South America blame the U.S. and the power of the dollar for its economic problems. And... can you actually see Chavez agreeing with "El Diablo" or what America stands for? No way! He's Castro Jr. !!

I hope not,it would make things worse.

First off, United States isn't the only country in North America. It also includes the countries of Mexico and Canada.

And second, South America consists of more than one country also.

Third, Get educated.

You do realize that North America and South America are continents, not countries right?

North America is made up of the U.S.A, Canada & Mexico. South America contains 13 countires.

I do not think you will ever get 16 different nations to agree to this....

Trader G

Absolutely not. Do you read the rhetoric that comes out of Chavez's (the President of Venezuela) mouth? As one of our presidents once asked, "If we take over the world, who would be our customer?" We have a Military and Industrial Complex we can't do business under a one world government.

sixpinkcat

No, becuase North America also includes Canada, Mexico and other European Commonwealth type countries, unowned by USA.

And South America is multiple countries, that disagree with us and each other and are owned by themselves and various World Power countries.

And the last thing is that Central/Middle America is in between South and North America, separating their land.

You need to learn geography! (And so do a lot of other people answering this question.)

CallumRogers

only if the two continents were forcefully pushed into each other over a period of millions of years by some kind of huge natural force.

Rico Sauve

Not a chance. All of the people South American countries have pride in their nations, even if they aren't happy with their government and economy. They would not want their country to become part of the U.S.
Furthermore, that's just not realistic scenario. It would be worse. It wouldn't work for anybody.

WOW....I have nothing else to say.
