I thought that in the episode there would have been a few words about Belize and its English-Spanish dynamics, both within the country and vis-a-vis its Spanish-speaking neighbours, and how it's increasingly become Spanish-speaking.

Heck, going much further south in Latin America, Uruguay in particular and the Rio de la Plata region in general almost became a part of the British Empire in the 19th century. If that had been the case, then Uruguay (with or without parts of Argentina) would have become to southern South America what Belize is to Central America.
