History of Mexico

Mexico is an antiquated land that had just seen the ascent and fall of extraordinary Indian realms before the appearance of the Europeans. The Olmec were the first, trailed by the Maya, Toltec, Zapotec, Mixtec, and the Maya once more. The Indian civilizations made significant discoveries in science and agribusiness. They assembled extraordinary urban areas and made notable masterpieces.

Timeline of the history of Mexico

Traditional Maya city-states prosper in the most distant south of current Mexico, just as in the neighboring Belize and Guatemala, prior to enduring a collapse that is considered mysterious.

The major religious and cultural focus of Teotihuacán thrives.

New people came flooding in central Mexico from the north, including Nahuatl speakers.

Renewed Maya civilization blooms in the northern Yucatan peninsula, making significant urban communities like Uxmal and Chichen Itza.

The most recent of a long line of native civilizations, the Aztec Empire - a union of Nahuatl-speaking city-states driven by Tenochtitlan - builds up authority over central Mexico.

The viceroyalty of New Spain forms part with Mexico.

Independence:

War of Independence finishes with the making of the short-living Mexican Empire, which incorporates Central America toward the southern boundary of Costa Rica in the modern age.

Mexico becomes the federal republic. Central American provinces separate, becoming Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

The former region of Texas, at this point progressively populated by English-speaking Americans, withdraws after a war, proceeding to join the United States nine years' after.

In 1929 the former president Plutarco Elias Calles established the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which ruled the government for 71 years. President Lazaro Cardens starts the nationalization of oil, expansion of industry, and reforming of land.

The uproar among laborers and workers over unequal distribution of wealth is suppressed. In 1968, the students' show in Mexico City during the Olympic Games was terminated by security. Many protestors are injured or killed. The degree of the brutality stuns the country.
