Americas
New World continents
The Americas are the landmasses of North and South America, together with Central America and the Caribbean islands—the entire Western Hemisphere.
The term distinguishes this broader geography from the United States, which often claims "America" for itself: Coffee is grown throughout the Americas.
Also called the New World.
