Talk About Tennis 2.0

Don't forget that parts of Mexico were annexed by the United States.

Which part of Mexico was taken by the US?
This was known as the Mexican Cession and included present-day Arizona and New Mexico and parts of Utah, Nevada, and Colorado (see Article V of the treaty). Mexico also relinquished all claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as the southern boundary with the United States (see Article V)

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, that brought an official end to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), was signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, a city north of the capital where the Mexican government had fled with the advance of U.S. forces. By its terms, Mexico ceded 55 percent of its territory, including the present-day states California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, most of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming. Mexico also relinquished all claims to Texas, and recognized the Rio Grande as the southern boundary with the United States.

Interesting that Asia and Europe were considered one in your school.

And that is was called Eurasia, as, simply by mass, it should have been Asia-rope.

Central America was from Panama to Guatemala/Belize or, for those that said Mexico was in C. America, to the border between USA/MEX.
As I said, it was that since Mexico is a Spanish speaking country, it did not belong with the English speaking Americans and Canadians. Silly idea, but they all are.

Same silly idea which doesn't count Suriname as South American country?

Is French Guiana part of South America or Europe?

Don't forget Martinique and Guadaloupe

Martinique and Guadaloupe are in the Caribbean. Which is not North, Central or South America, and are not in any continent
It is silly, I already said.

But they're also in France. That's the added conundrum.

I think Nathalie Dechy was from Guadeloupe. Top American tennis player!

And Santoro is from Tahiti! Best Polynesian tennis player of all time.

At your own peril.......

I use dark mode for everything including TAT but I'm thinking about changing it only because the way I see the color highlights I do is probably WAYYYY different than what I would see in another mode.
