  4. Actually 16-17% speak Spanish.
    2
  5. But Spain lost the Philippines to the US. And it barely had any Spaniard culture by that time.
    2
  6. @comrades Nguyen Only in overall GDP. But it's GDP per capita is less than $10K and a solid 40% of Mexicans are poor.

  28. The USA as a whole is an English-speaking country even in parts that the Spaniards once owned. Haiti is an-ex-French colony. You mean the Dominican Republic. The Philippines hasn't been Spanish since the Spanish-American War. You're right about Guatemala, but Guatemala is yet another example of a lot of things wrong with Latin America and the failures of Spanish colonialism.
