P:LA

Latin America refers to a cultural region of theAmericas whereRomance languages are predominantly spoken, primarily in the form ofSpanish andPortuguese, and to a lesser extent,French and its creoles (e.g.Haitian), andItalian dialects. There is no precise or official inclusion list.

Latin America is defined according to cultural identity, not geography, and as such it includes countries in both North andSouth America. Most countries south of the United States tend to be included:Mexico and the countries ofCentral America,South America and theCaribbean. Despite being in the same geographical region, English- andDutch-speaking countries are sometimes excluded (Suriname,Guyana, theFalkland islands,Jamaica,Trinidad and Tobago,Belize, etc.). In a narrower sense, it often refers toHispanic America plusBrazil. Related terms are the narrowerHispanic America, which exclusively refers to Spanish-speaking nations, and the broaderIbero-America, which includes all Iberic countries in the Americas and occasionally European countries like Spain, Portugal andAndorra.

The termLatin America was first introduced in 1856 at a Paris conference titled, literally,Initiative of America: Idea for a Federal Congress of the Republics (Iniciativa de la América. Idea de un Congreso Federal de las Repúblicas; the original Spanish uses the singular form,América, equivalent to meaning conveyed in English by the plural form, "the Americas"). Chilean politicianFrancisco Bilbao coined the term to unify countries with shared cultural and linguistic heritage. It gained further prominence during the 1860s under the rule ofNapoleon III, whose government sought to justify France's intervention in theSecond Mexican Empire. Napoleon III extended the term to include French-speaking territories in the Americas, such asFrench Canada,Haiti,French Louisiana,French Guiana, and the French Antillean Creole Caribbean islands (e.g.,Martinique,Guadeloupe,Saint Lucia, andDominica). This broader conceptualization aligned with France’s geopolitical ambitions to categorize these regions alongside the predominantly Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries of the Americas.

Map of Caral–Supe sites showing their locations in Peru

Caral–Supe (also known asCaral andNorte Chico) was a complexPre-Columbian era society that included as many as thirty major population centers in what is now the Caral region of north-central coastalPeru. The civilization flourished between the fourth and second millennia BCE, with the formation of the first city generally dated to around 3500 BCE, atHuaricanga, in theFortaleza area. From 3100 BCE onward, large-scale human settlement and communal construction become clearly apparent. This lasted until a period of decline around 1800 BCE. Since the early 21st century, it has been recognized as theoldest-known civilization in the Americas, and as one of the six sites where civilization separately originated in the ancient world.

This civilization flourished along three rivers, theFortaleza, the Pativilca, and the Supe. These river valleys each have large clusters of sites. Farther south, there are several associated sites along the Huaura River. The name Caral–Supe is derived from the city ofCaral in the Supe Valley, a large and well-studied Caral–Supe site.
