The Americas stretch nearly 14,000 kilometres from the Arctic Archipelago of northern Canada to the windswept islands of Tierra del Fuego. The continent splits naturally into North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, and its political geography was shaped by waves of indigenous civilisation, European colonisation, slavery, and revolutionary independence. Today the Americas host 35 sovereign states, three sprawling federations, and dozens of distinctive sub-national regions, with terrain ranging from boreal taiga to high Andes, Amazon basin, and Patagonian steppe.
