Mexico and Central America belong to several groups.

Answer 3

The region is commonly known as Middle America, as it acts as a bridge between North America and South America. Also, the region which encompasses southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and northern Costa Rica is known as Mesoamerica.

Answer 4

Such region is sometimes considered as either "Middle America" or "Mesoamerica". However, both are incorrect as those regions correspond to the southern part of Mexico and Central America, not the whole Mexican mainland.

Answer 5

Mexico is a country south of the United States; Central America is a region south of Mexico, spanning 7 countries (Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama) which connects Mexico with South America.

More often than not, Mexico is included as part of Central America, due to cultural reasons. Mexico however, does not belong to such region.
