A very important geography question: Is the Gulf of Mexico really the Gulf of America now? Let's learn all about how names for geographic features like the Gulf of Mexico are regulated and figure out if the name change was actually valid. I've done a fair bit of research and am confident that I've made a breakthrough for the first time. The US government's Board of Geographic Names is responsible for name changes, and the president does have the power to make them change a name via executive order. However, that's not actually what happened. Follow along as we do a deep dive into history, the US government, and geography! #Geography #weirdborders #GulfofMexico #edutok#5MinutePlus
