Outside of the USA its considered one continent, America. I asked Chat GPT to explain it for us:
Here’s a simple explanation:
In many Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, especially in Latin America, school systems teach that there are six continents, and “America” is one big continent that includes North, Central, and South America.
This idea comes from the fact that all these regions are connected by land and share some cultural and historical ties, like colonization and the spread of certain languages and traditions.
On the other hand, in the United States and much of Europe, students are taught that there are seven continents, and they split America into North America and South America.
So, whether someone sees America as one or two continents mostly depends on where they grew up and how they were taught in school.
