North America has more legitimacy to be it's own continent than say something like Europe. North America has it's own tectonic plate, only connected to South America via a small land strip like Africa is to Asia and the small land strip is inaccessible to walk or drive across since it's a large swamp. |
Back when they started to divide the world into continents, nobody cared about Russia, so they got the impression that the world existed out of 3 landmasses, divided by the Mediterranean Sea.
