Which continent has the most countries?
Asia
Europe
Africa
South America
Correct Answer: Africa
Fact: Africa has the most countries of any continent, with a total of 54 recognized sovereign nations and two territories (Western Sahara and Mayotte). This makes it the most politically diverse continent, home to a wide range of cultures, languages, and governments. The continent’s borders were largely shaped by colonial history, leading to the creation of many independent nations throughout the 20th century. Some of the largest countries by land area in Africa include Algeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Sudan, while some of the smallest include Seychelles, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Comoros.
