A map of North America

North America is a continent on Earth that comprises the northern half of the combined continents of the Americas. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as a subcontinent of the Americas alongside South America and, in some contexts, Central America.

North America dominates the western portion of the Northern Hemisphere or alternatively the northern portion of the Western Hemisphere and is bordered to the west by the Pacific Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the north by the Arctic Ocean. Its southeast region, the Caribbean, consists of an archipelago of islands lying within the Caribbean Sea.

History[edit | edit source]

Originally home to the Maya,[1][2] the Aztecs,[3] as well as numerous less technologically advanced peoples such as the Iroquois, Abenaki, Inuit,[4] and Taíno,[2] centuries of conquest by European empires decimated its indigenous populations.[2][4] In modern times, the principal power in the continent is the United States of America, a nation founded by British colonists who seceded from its mother country.[4] The United States is situated between two other prominent nations, Canada and Mexico.

While the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, in service to Spain, is credited with publicizing the existence of the Americas to Europe,[5] he was not the first European to discover its lands. The Norse people began settling the east coast of North America—which they called Vinland—as early as the late 9th century.[6] Around 1000 CE, the Norse explorer Leif Ericson became the first recorded European to set foot in the Americas, landing in what is now Newfoundland, Canada.[7]

In 1398, a Templar expedition led by Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney and James Gunn explored the east coast of North America.[8] Branches of the Assassins and Templars in the continent did not arise until at least the end of the 17th century, with the establishment of the West Indies Brotherhood and West Indies Rite, respectively.[2] Nevertheless, theories abound that the Assassins were behind the English Roanoke Colony founded in 1585 that had mysteriously vanished by 1590.[9]

Paralleling the United States' preeminence as the world's superpower, two of the most prominent branches of the Assassins and Templars are the American Brotherhood and the American Rite.[4]
