Yeah, they don't teach the whole "manifest destiny" movement in USA schools so they have no idea... Unfortunately for everyone around me that was my hyper fixation.
I'm surprised, I thought the Mid-West was all French before the Yanks bought it. I looked it up and indeed the French colony Louisiana had been Spanish (I suppose belonging to the Spanish colony Mexico) from 1763 till 1801.
Yes the once French Louisiana became Spanish and was regained just before it was sold to the USA. Then Napoleon wasted the money of the sale in his stupid wars.
It is still named the Gulf of Mexico on so many things on Federal Property that will be a huge expense to change, like at this National Park I was at last week on SO MANY SIGNS, but POTUS Dumbass, who never gets out, doesn't know that.
I wish Mexico gets all their land back
Then they can deport Donald Trump and his family
Then we can make tacos 🌮 and live happily ever after
A person can dream
Can’t they?
Lol
Trump may try to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, but on all maps everywhere else in the world it will retain its correct title. So piss off Dumpty.
It still is the Gulf of Mexico, fascist rule is invalid by default. They don't respect others' choices, don't respect theirs. Hold the line, friend. It's not even in question. This is the Gulf of Mexico, regardless of what a fascist says.
And Mexico still has the majority of the Gulf’s coastline. Also McKinley never even saw that mountain. It has been called Denali for many centuries before white Europeans ever laid eyes upon it. For me, I will continue to refer to the Gulf as the Gulf Of Mexico and the mountain as Denali.
Meh. Ask the French why they won’t acknowledge the English Channel by name. They call it La Manche. Which if you try google translate from the French, provides the words “English Channel”. Which is quite funny.
If you look at how some other nearby countries call it, yes, sleeve or arm is closer. A manche is a sleeve, yes.
That google should translate it into its English name as « English Channel », that too is correct, since it is its name in English.
Wouldn’t it be more accurate to call it the Gulf of New Spain? The map you’re presenting is prior to Mexico even existing as an independent country, so it would have been occupied by the Spanish Empire
I seriously doubt if all the map makers in the world are going to furiously start changing all their maps because one stupid fuckface decides he doesn’t like the current name. Besides who the fuck appointed him king of the gulf
Maybe the MAGA snowflakes’ Lord Trump will tell US CBP that maps aren’t allowed into the country if they show the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico. And then the “solution” could be a stamp placed on all the “illegal” maps with a “correction” stamp.
Since they’re gutting the Department of Education, there won’t be any money to replace maps or globes in schools so it’s going to be the Gulf of Mexico anyway.
