There is only one JSON object. What you have is an object literal. What have you tried? Where did it go wrong? What output do you expect? — RobG, Nov 07 '18 at 02:42

Do this:

var countries = [];

fetch("url.json").then(response => {
    return response.json();
}).then(data => {
    for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        countries.push(data[i].Country);
    }
});

Use Array.map

let arr = [{"ISO 3166 Country Code":"AD","Country":"Andorra","Latitude":42.5,"Longitude":1.5},{"ISO 3166 Country Code":"AE","Country":"United Arab Emirates","Latitude":24,"Longitude":54},{"ISO 3166 Country Code":"AF","Country":"Afghanistan","Latitude":33,"Longitude":65},{"ISO 3166 Country Code":"AG","Country":"Antigua and Barbuda","Latitude":17.05,"Longitude":-61.8}];

let countries = arr.map(v => v.Country);
console.log(countries);

The easiest and most concise way to do it would be with array.map. However, if you consider performance to be an issue, using a for loop could be a magnitude of ten faster.
