Hispanic America incorporates many countries including Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, and the diaspora of Hispanic people has led to a dissemination of Latin culture across the globe.
First established in 1988 to recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the United States, Hispanic Heritage Month takes place September 15th to October 15th of every year. The special month, which first started in 1988, aims to celebrate the contributions of Hispanic nations to the American people. The start date, September 15, is also the anniversary of five Latin American countries including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, which declared their independence back in 1821.
