Description

About the Book

Titles about the history of Mexico show it was first populated more than 13,000 years ago, and was home to highly developed indigenous civilizations before being conquered and colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century. The Mesoamerican civilizations developed a form of writing, and Mexico's written history goes back hundreds of years before the Spanish. The Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan became the capital, Mexico City, under the Spanish. After a protracted struggle for independence (1810-1821), New Spain became the sovereign nation of Mexico. The brief period of monarchy, called the First Mexican Empire, was followed by the Republic of Mexico (1824). Porfirio Díaz was president of Mexico almost continuously between 1876 and 1911, and the Mexican Revolution occured during the chaotic period between 1910 and 1920. In World War II, Mexico was a strong ally of the United States, and supplied metals to build war materiel as well as farm workers, freeing up American men to fight in the war. Mexico came out of World War 2 with more wealth and greater political stability.
