Detailed Solution

In cultural geography, the Anglo-American Cultural Realm is primarily associated with the United States of America and Canada.

The development of this cultural realm has been strongly influenced by British/English language and cultural traditions. Therefore, the USA and Canada are generally included within Anglo-America.

In contrast, Mexico and Cuba are considered part of the Latin American Cultural Realm. Both Mexico and Cuba have a strong Spanish-language and Spanish colonial cultural influence.

Thus—

Canada → Anglo-American Realm
U.S.A. → Anglo-American Realm
Mexico → Latin American Realm
Cuba → Latin American Realm

Therefore, Mexico and Cuba are not included in the Anglo-American Culture Realm.
