Central America

Yes, Mexico could. Such conflict however, would be of very little of value to Mexico, as all Central America combined has a GDP of just US$ 313.44 billion, or approximately 17.5% of Mexico's GDP of US$ 1,788 billion. Not to mention the terrible expenses in terms of materials and manpower that would be lost during such conflict, as it would quickly escalate into a guerrilla war.

Putting nuclear weapons aside, it is as impractical as if the United States tried to invade Russia to acquire its territory. Just for you to ponder, see what happened when the most powerful nation in the world invaded a couple of countries -- Iraq and Afghanistan -- with a combined GDP of only US$276.79 billion, or a mere 1.7% of the United States' GDP.

The Bahamas; Jamaica; Cuba; Dominican Republic; Haiti; and the various island nations in the Lesser Antilles, including St. Vincent and the Grenadines and St. Lucia.

Puerto Rico is also in the Caribbean, but it is a territory of the U.S.

Since 1492 when it was discovered by Columbus.

Hernán Cortés

The country of Guatemala (capital: Guatemala City).

Spain conquered most of Central and South America. Spain controlled much of Mexico, Peru, Río de la Plata and Paraguay, New Granada, and a large portion of the southern and western parts of the United States.

South America has more mineral resources than Central America.

Many countries have Pacific borders. N & S America, Australia, New Zealand, Asia. Please redefine what you are asking.

The economy in Honduras is just about the same as in other places. It has businesses, banks, and its own form of money.

Is Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. Funded by Christopher Columbus in 1492, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas, and was the first seat of Spanish colonial rule in the New World. Santo Domingo came to be known as the "Gateway to the Caribbean". In 1930, the city of Santo Domingo (excluding the Colonial Zone) was extensively damaged by tropical hurricane San Zenón. President Rafael Trujillo reconstructed the city and named it Ciudad Trujillo after himself. After his assassination in 1961, Ciudad Trujillo once again became Santo Domingo de Guzmán. Santo Domingo is within the boundaries of the Distrito Nacional (D.N.; "National District") and Santo Domingo Province surrounds it.Santo Domingo was destroyed by a hurricane in 1502, and the new Governor Nicolás de Ovando had it rebuilt on a different site nearby.[1] The original layout of the city and a large portion of its defensive wall can still be appreciated today throughout the Colonial Zone, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990. The Colonial Zone, bordered by the Río Ozama, also has an impressive collection of 16th century buildings, including palatial houses and majestic churches that reflect the architectural style of the late medieval period.The city's most important colonial buildings include the Catedral Santa María La Menor, called La Catedral Primada de América, America's First Cathedral, which states its distinction; the Alcázar de Colón, America's first castle, once the residence of Viceroy of the Indies Don Diego Colón, a son of Christopher Columbus; the Monasterio de San Francisco, the ruins of the first monastery in America; the Museo de las Casas Reales, the former Palace of the Governor General and the Palace of Royal Audiences; the Parque Colón, a historic square; the Fortaleza Ozama, the oldest fortress in America; the Pantéon Nacional, a former Jesuit edifice now hosting the remains of various renowned members of the Dominican Order; and the Iglesia del Convento Dominico, the first convent in America.

Both countries are some 225 Km (140 miles) apart from each other, from border to border.

Central America used to belong to the New Spain, as present-day Mexico was known until 1821 until its independence from Spain was attained. Therefore, both Mexico and Central America share common traits such as language (Spanish), religion (Roman Catholicism) and customs inherited from the colonial days, when the region was controlled by the Spanish Crown. However, since the region split off from Spain, each country acquired traits on its own. For example, mariachis are almost non-existent in Central America.

There are tons of things you can do in El Salvador.

If you prefer urban adventures, San Salvador won't disappoint. It's a modern, bustling city that's full of life. Restaurants, museums, parks, shopping centers and a host of other modern amenities can easily be found in the capital.

If you are more of an outdoors person, El Salvador has excellent beaches and beautiful volcanoes. Because the country is so small, you can be at a beach 45 minutes after visiting a volcano: travel time and travel expense is greatly reduced. Surfing, rafting, diving and hiking are very popular activities.

I suggest you visit:

It's a local guide that Salvadorans use and is very useful when navigating the country.

Central America and the Carribean are both in the tropics, so they are warm. They also have lots of beaches. Although it is cliché, people love to go to warm beaches for vacation (so do I). People also go to places like that to see natural sites, such as rainforests and exotic birds.
