'''Anglo-America''' most often refers to a region in the [[Americas]] in which [[International English|English]] is the main language and [[culture of the United Kingdom|British culture]] and the [[British Empire]] have had significant historical, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural impact.<ref name=eb>"Anglo-America", vol. 1, Micropædia, ''Encyclopædia Britannica'', 15th ed., Chicago: Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 1990. {{ISBN|0-85229-511-1}}.</ref> This includes the [[United States]], most of [[Canada]], and some [[Caribbean]] countries. Anglo-America is distinct from [[Latin America]], a region of the Americas where [[Romance languages]] (e.g., [[Spanish America|Spanish]], [[Portuguese America|Portuguese]], and [[French America|French]]) are prevalent.<ref name=eb /> The adjective is commonly used, for instance, in the phrase "Anglo-American law", a concept roughly coterminous with [[common law]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Common Law |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/common-law |publisher=Encyclopedia Britannica |access-date=29 December 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Anglo-American Law |url=https://mdcourts.gov/lawlib/research/research-guides/anglo |website=Maryland Courts: Thurgood Marshall State Law Library |access-date=29 December 2021}}</ref>

== Geographic region ==
While Canada is one of the two principal Anglo-American countries, the province of [[Quebec]] and the region of [[Inuit Nunangat]] both have non-English speaking majorities, and for this reason they are excluded from Anglo-America. [[Sint Eustatius]], [[Sint Maarten]], and [[Saba (island)|Saba]] are also not typically included in Anglo-America, despite their English-speaking majorities, because they are constituent countries or ''[[Public body (Netherlands)|public bodies]]'' that form part of the [[Kingdom of the Netherlands]].

== Economy ==

People from other parts of the world have immigrated to Anglo-America in search of a better quality of life, better employment, and an escape from famine, poverty, violence, and conflict. People from many different ethnic origins in Latin America and more remote places all over the world, including the less English-dominant parts of Oceania, continental Europe, Asia, and Africa, all live in Anglo-America contemporarily.
