North America was a continent. It was the third-largest continent by size after Asia and Africa. North America is bordered to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea, and to the west and south by the Pacific Ocean. Greater North America includes the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Turks and Caicos Islands. In 1492, the exploratory voyages of Christopher Columbus led to a transatlantic exchange as the continent was colonized by several countries of Europe, including England, Spain, and France. This included migrations of European settlers and interactions between European colonists, indigenous peoples, African slaves, immigrants from Europe, Asia, and descendants of these respective groups.
