How The North American Continent Would Be if it was Colonized by Spaniards?

[Adamastor]

It's also dumb to assume that the eastern coast, for example, would be as balanced mestizo as Mexico. It has a temperate four seasons climate, is closer to Spain, and very likely a great part of its Amerindian population would have succumbed to diseases brought by Spaniards. I never said it would be as white a Canada, and I agree that some parts of this vast continent would be more mestizo than other parts, but is dumb to assume that all North America would be as mestizo as Mexico. Very likely the eastern coast, and probably all the eastern half of the continent would be at least as much European as Argentina, if not more.

Well, Argentina is mostly Mestizo/Harnizo/Castizo anyway... No Latin American country is mostly pure white.

Argentina is mostly white/Euro-mestizo, with an important "plain mestizo" minority. It makes sense that a great part of the North American continent (at least the eastern parts) would be more like Argentina, and the western parts be more something like Chile (mostly mestizo/Euro mestizo with a large white/near white minority) Even Northern Mexico is more mestizo/Euro-mestizo, like Chile than just balanced mestizo. Saying that North America would be all plain balanced mestizo as lets say Central Mexico is too far fetched.

Also, I just edited my last post. Check the second paragraph.

Can you show some pictures about the Argentine people?

There's barely significant differences between ''euro-mestizo'' and mestizo, if you have Native American and European ancestry you're just Mestizo, unless your ancestry is very small like 5% at most. Also, Argentina was as heavily Mestizo as Mexico in colonial times and only became whiter in the last decades of 19th century. The climate was not the reason, but eugenic programs applied by the Argentinian government. Buenos Aires was once 30-40% Black/mulatto.

All Hispanic American countries are predominantly Mestizo, Argentina isn't mostly composed by White Europeans as you imply, it's significant more European than Mexico, yeah, but still not ''white'' as Australia or New Zealand, for example. The majority of Argentinian population score more than 10% and even 20% Amerindian.


Southern Australia is moderately temperate, but most of Australian climate, including the South, is heavily influenced by oceanic and desertic environments. Most of Australia is a desert, man.

Just check this thread, opened by Argentano:

I think it would be less race mixed since the current USA and Canada had a smaller and more primitive Amerindian population compared to places like Mexico and Peru.
The main Euro combo would probably be Spanish (obviously) + Italian, some Portuguese and others. Since Spaniards are Latinos, Southern Europeans and mainly catholics, I assume the non-Iberian immigrants to these hypothetical countries would be of similar ethnicity.

The point is that it would be more like Argentina than like Mexico. Regarding mestizo and Euro-mestizo, Chile or Paraguay don't look the same as El Salvador or Central Mexico. I think that very likely the western parts of North America would be more like Chile or Paraguay than like Central Mexico or El Salvador.

And more than 70-80% of the Australian population lives in the southern temperate zone, not in the Australian desert.

Australia (mostly the southern temperate areas), New Zealand, South Africa (British and Dutch), North America... that's not a casualty that those were precisely the areas of the world heavily settled by British.

And is not a casualty either that precisely Argentina, Uruguay, and to a less extent Chile, the Northern Andes (were there were not an Incan empire), Northern Mexico, etc were the areas more heavily settled by Spaniards (either sooner or later).

Would be the biggest Mestizo nation in the world

Like a big Bolivia

Argentina it's mostly Castizo, with a big portion Euro Predominant and mestizo

indeed

maybe Uruguay because of the small population
