It was given birth from the Western European civilisations as was
the US.

So North and South American are Europe II.

"Given birth"? Don't you mean "conquered and taken over from the
residents"?

To some extent, sure. But in some ways, less so than for instance the US.

The Portuguese colonization model differed a good deal from the Spanish
one, and surely from the British one.

Relatively little permanent settling early on. But much more
intermingling than either the Spanish or the Brits.

Sort of, that is the way it is usually done. Otherwise, where are
the Celtic tribes of yesteryear in Western Europe?

Unless I am mistaken, would not Argentina be classed as the most
European of the new world states??

Any comment??

That's certainly what people in Argentina would like you to believe. Yet
another can of worms...

(Might quickly bring in racist connotations too.)
