Anglo-America

The term Anglo-America is used to describe those parts of \nNorth America in which English is the main language. It should be noted that this is not a widely used term. It is\ngenerally taken to include the United States of America and Canada,\nalthough a significant proportion of Canadians do not speak English. In addition, according to the definition, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, and several other Caribbean nations belong to Anglo-America despite their geographical proximity to Latin America. In contrast, the adjective Anglo-American is used in two ways:

• It can be used to denote the cultural sphere shared by England or the United Kingdom, the United States, and sometimes Canada. For example, "Anglo-American culture is different from French culture."
• It can be used to describe relations between England or the United Kingdom on one hand and the Americas, in particular the United States, on the other. For example, "Anglo-American relations were tense during the War of 1812."

Together with Dutch-speaking Suriname and the Dutch West Indies, Anglo-America can be said to compose Germanic America.
