About

A federal republic covering almost two million square kilometres, Mexico is the thirteenth largest independent nation in the world and contains a population of over 113 million people, making it the second most populated country in Latin America. 

The nation itself is comprised of thirty-one states and has been home to some of the oldest civilizations in the world including the Maya, the Aztect, the Olmec, the Zapotec, the Teotihuacan and the Toltec. Following first contact with the European peoples, these groups were mainly wiped out, but even to this day large stone structures and forgotten reminders of an age past remain.

Stone Age History

Mankind has existed in the region for over 23,000 years and the very oldest remains are believed to be a campfire dating back to this time in the Valley of Mexico. However, the tribes of the region only began to cultivate the land and grow maize since around 8000 BC.

The Olmec people of the time are believed to have their origins in the State of Tabasco and began developing farming techniques as far back as 5000 BC. Additionally, the Mayan Calendar begins on the date 11^th August 3114 BC and this is believed to mark the beginning of any records of the Mayan civilization.

Bronze Age History

Around 2300 BC, the peoples of the land started to create pottery and basic forms of artwork in the region, in 1800 BC. They also began to grow corn rapidly as a staple source of food.

Some of the oldest Olmec structures were discovered at the time including a Sacrificial Bog in El Manati, dating back at least to 1600 BC. However, it wasn’t until 1400 BC that the Olmec civilization fully flourished in the form of the city of San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan. It is believed that a combination of well-watered soil and easy-access transportation network via the Coatzacoalcos River basin formed the basis of their civilization. The elite class of the Olmec peoples created a demand for incredibly beautiful artifacts to be produced and today these mark some of the most prominent pieces preserved from the region, adorned with jewels such as magnetite, obsidian and jade.

The Maya began to develop some of their oldest buildings at the time, starting with ones in Cuello, Belize in 2600 BC but larger Mayan civilizations being developed in 1800 BC in Soconusco on the Pacific Coast. Additionally, pottery and fired clay figurines have been found in the region and are believed to be linked with the Maya.

Iron Age History

The start of the Iron Age saw the first mention of the Toltecs by the Aztecs, who saw the Toltec civilization as their predecessors. However, as much of Aztec-recorded history is mythological, it is uncertain how much precedence should be given to these reports which date back up to 1000 BC. It is known that the Toltecs did rule the region from about 700 BC onwards and established an incredibly successful turquoise trade route with the northern civilization of Pueblo Bonito.

In San Lorenzo, many monuments were destroyed in 950 BC by what is believed to be either an invasion or, more likely, an internal uprising or civil war. Over the next fifty years, San Lorenzo declined in activity and the city of La Venta became the prominent centre for the Olmec civilization. La Venta also is host to the largest ancient Mesoamerican structure, the Great Pyramid, which houses a plethora of incredibly labour-intensive offerings such as 48 deposits of pottery, figurines, hematite mirrors, polished jade celts, 1000 tons of smooth serpentine blocks and large mosaic pavements. 

The Maya began to build a multitude of sites along the southern lowlands at the time, these include El Mirador, Nakbe, San Bartolo and Cival, as well as site in the highlands such as Kaminaljuyu around 800 BC. Later sites built in 600 BC such as Chocola, Izapa and Takalik Abaj controlled and produced Cacao, whilst the former-mentioned sites developed obsidian and jade resources. Smaller sites emerged in the northern lowlands as well such as Dzibilchaltun and Komchen but generally speaking these were not as prominent as their northern counterparts. The first written Maya hieroglyphics also appeared around 250 BC, which is when a lot of the smaller sites began to develop.

Around 350 BC, suddenly the Olmec population sharply dropped and it wasn’t until the 19^th century that any sort of populous group resided in the region; to this day it’s still unknown what caused these circumstances. Although it is theorized that due to volcanic activity, the majority of the Olmec peoples may have migrated away from the area. Additionally, the Olmec culture sparked a range of other civilizations around the western edge of the Olmec heartland, such as Tres Zapotes.

Settling in 300 BC, a mysterious civilization began to build a large city, the largest ancient city of Latin America in fact, Teotihuacan. It’s believed these people may have been the Totonac influenced by the Zapotec, the Mixtec and Mayan peoples but scholars are still not entirely certain. The earliest buildings of Teotihuacan date back to 200 BC and the very largest structure, the Pyramid of the Sun, was finished around 100 AD. 


1^st Century – 15^th Century History

It was around 100 AD that the first series of large Maya cities were abandoned and their populations declined. However, this was not the complete collapse of the civilization. Starting in 250 AD, the Maya people strongly developed their agricultural techniques and built a plethora of cities centred around these practices including Calakmul, Bonampak, Xunatunich, Altun Ha, Copan, Uaxactun, Palenque, Cahal Pech, Tikal, Dos Pilas, Caracol and Lamanai.

It was at this time that the Mayan population flourished as well, numbering in the millions and building up a multitude of kingdoms in the region centred around the cities. Many of these cities features large palaces and temples used for many religious ceremonies and rituals as well as educative sectors for developing one of the most advanced hieroglyphic writing systems of the era. These cities also are responsible for a variety of trade within the region including long-distance trade with other Mesoamerican cultures such as the Zapotec and Teotihuacan, as well as the tribes of the Carribean Islands such as the Tainos. Trade included cacao, salt, seashells, jade, obsidian and even gold.

Around 450 AD the city of Teotihuacan had grown to be one of the most prominent sites in all of Mesoamerica, covering over thirty kilometres squared and holding a population of over 200,000. Despite the large amount of craftsmen and trade, especially that surrounding Obsidian, strangely there are no signs of any fortifications or military structures within the city. It is believed that the Teotihuacan and Mayan civilizations conversed on a political level frequently and later on in history, the Teotihuacan people are believed to have conquered several Mayan regions and centres of activity, these include Peten and Tikal. The height of the civilization was around 550 AD and by that time it had become a thriving centre of trade for Mesoamerica and many had begun to strongly refine the arts in the region with unrivalled paintings across the region, only comparable to the painters of Renaissance Florence, Italy.

In the 7^th Century, it is believed an uprising of sorts lead to the decline of the Teotihuacan population as well as the destruction of many of its structures due to a series of droughts lasting for years at a time in the region. The Maya also perished, likely for the same reasons as Teotihuacan, in the 9^th Century. The collapse of these groups stood as a prequel for what was due to come for other civilizations with the city of Xochicalco falling in 900 AD and Tula following suit in 1150 AD.

Many city-states of the Aztec civilization appeared when the Aztecs arrived in the Valley of Mexico as a nomadic tribe in 1248, settling and building a settlement on Chapultepec, a hill on the western shores of Lake Texcoco. The Aztecs were driven out of the area by the Tepanecs of Azcapotzalco, but their ruler allowed them to resettle in Tizaapan in 1299 at which time they assimilated into the Aztec culture. However, in 1323 the Aztec priesthood killed, skinned and wore the daughter of the Tepanec ruler to a festival dinner as part of a ritual. Upon seeing this, the Tepanec ruler forced the Aztec people to flee from the area.

In 1315 the Aztecs began to construct the city of Tenochtitlan on a small island on the west side of Lake Shinshu, building up the mass of the land. The story goes that the Aztec god, Huitzlipochtli, told the people to build their city where they saw an eagle on a cactus carrying a snake in its talons. To this day this image appears on the Mexican flag. Meanwhile more Aztecs settled on the north side of the island and built the city of Tlatelolco, eventually joining with Tenochtitlan. Finally, in 1376 the first tlatoani, or leader, was elected, Acamapichtli.

From 1376 onwards, the leaders of the Aztecs, Acamapichtli, Chimalpopoca and Huitzilihuitl, were controlled by Tezozomoc, the Tepanec ruler of Azcapotzalco.In 1425, Tezozomoc died and his son Maxtla took the throne. Through Maxtla’s tyrannical efforts on the region, he had Chimalpopoca assassinated and forced the leader of Texcoco, Nezahualcoyotl, into exile. These actions sought to strengthen the bonds between the cities of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco and Tlacopan and between them they forged an alliance known as the Aztec Triple Alliance.

The Aztec Triple Alliance was led by Itzcoatl and he, with the now-exiled Nezahualcoyotl, began to expand the territory of the alliance southwards, conquering Cuauhnahuac and Culhuacan, some of the biggest cities of the Tepanec people. They additionally took over Huexotla, Tepoztlan, Mixquic, Coatlinchan and Xochimilco. In 1440, the half-brothers Tlacaelel and Moctezuma took the reins of power from Itzcoatl and reconquered the cities that had rebelled against him with Tlacaelel being the power behind the throne and government while Moctezuma became the architect of the Aztec war machine.

Tlacaelel helped to reform the Aztec nation and reinforced the belief that they were a chosen people under guidance of a king of gods, as well as passing laws forbidding common people from wearing lip plugs, cotton cloaks, gold armbands and many other adornments in an attempt to preserve the nobility. Additionally, to appease the Aztec god, Huitzilopochtli, he increased the frequency of human sacrifices and started the flower wars with Tlaxcala as a means of providing fresh sacrifices.

Moctezuma conquered much Huastec territory as well as Coixtlahuaca, inhabited by the Mixtecs, and brought many Mixtec artisans back to the Aztec capital. Following this he marched on the Totonacan cities of Vera Cruz and took Ahuilizapan, Cotaxtla, Cosamaloapan and Xalapa before marching even further north and taking Tuxpan and Xilotepec.

Through the rule of the half-brothers, the Aztec civilization flourished dramatically and developed into a huge empire with a multitude of cities under their rule. In 1469, Axayacatl, Moctezuma’s son, took the throne and it was at this time that Tenochtitlan took control of the kingdom of Tlatelolco. As Axayacatl’s sister was married to the leader of this kingdom, he declared she had been mistreated and used this as an excuse for war. After taking Tenochtitlan, he went on to take Malinalco, Ocuillan and Tollocan before having to deal with a civil war back in Tlatelolco.

The Tlatelolco people had rebelled against the Aztec rule under their leader Moquihuix while attempting to forge an alliance with the Tenochca, the Huexotzinca, the Chololteca, the Chalca and the Tlaxcalteca. However, Axayacatl easily quelled the rebellion and executed all of the rulers who had aided Moquihuix. Moving on, he moved to fight further west but suffered a defeat by the Tarascans at Tzintzuntzan in 1479. Shortly afterwards he was replaced by his brother Tizoc but through humiliation by bringing only 40 prisoners home from war against the Otomies at Metztitlan for his coronation ceremony’s sacrifices, he was replaced and likely poisoned by his younger brother Ahuitzotl.

Ahuitzotl suppressed the Huastec rebellion right at the start of his reign and fully conquered the Mixtec and Zapotec people following this. Additionally he supervised the rebuilding of Tenochtitlan as well as expanding the Great Pyramid in 1487 and is responsible for the earliest case of human-mediated bird introduction in the western hemisphere, the introduction of the Great-tailed Grackle. Upon passing away in 1502, Ahuitzotl was succeeded by Moctezuma II who marched forth on the lands around and took the cities of Tapachula and Xicallanco.

Some Maya cities were known to survive the widespread genocide of Mesoamerican antiquity. The cities of the northern lowlands, such as Coba, Edzna, Uxmal and Chichen Itza, flourished for centuries under the rule of Mayapan, the governing city of the region. However, a revolt in 1450 destroyed the control the city of Mayapan held on the region and in turn, the area degenerated into warring city-states.

16^th Century – 19^th Century History

In 1502, Christopher Columbus arrived in Guanaja just off of the coast of Honduras and sent his brother Bartholomew to scout the island. As they approached the island, a large canoe carrying cotton textiles, ceramics, flint-studded war clubs, yellow stone axes, copper axes, cacao and copper bells floated out manned by Maya and owned by a rich Maya captain. Bartholomew’s crew took all that they could, as well as the captain in an attempt to develop a translator, before letting the canoe go on its way.

In 1517 the governor of Cuba, Diego Velazquez de Cuellar, commissioned a fleet of three ships to land on the South American Yucatan peninsula, commanded by Hernandez de Cordoba. Upon landing, the Mayans at Cape Catoche invited them to their settlement and the Spaniards read the Requirements of 1513 to them, offering them the protection of the King of Spain should they submit. Cordoba took two prisoners in an attempt to develop translators but he and his crew were later attacked in the night by Mouchcouoh, the Mayan chief. Cordoba was mortally wounded and returned to Cuba with only a small fragment of his crew, as twenty had been killed.

In 1519, Hernan Cortes re-landed on the Yucatan peninsula and began to march on the Aztec empire, slowly taking the cities one by one until even the capital, Tenochtitlan, had fallen in 1521. At first it seemed the Aztecs could still survive under Spanish rule as the Spaniards allowed their nobles to learn to speak and write Spanish and even Latin. However, it all dramatically changed when laws passed forbidding them to learn of their cultures as well as speaking and writing Spanish.

By this time, the Europeans had brought disease and sicknesses from their homeland that the natives had no immunity to and thus, waves of monkeypox in 1511, mono in 1545, yellow fever in 1576 and other illnesses swept across the region, wiping out vast civilizations of Aztec, Mixtec, Maya and many other groups. It’s estimated that in under a century, 75% of the Mesoamerican population was wiped out and by 1581 the population had dropped to two million from a previous population in 1500 at fifteen million. In order to have a source of labour, African slaves were imported but most of them merged with the population very quickly.

In 1524, King Charles V of Spain created the Council of the Indies to help manage the conquered land dubbed ‘New Spain’ in order to prevent the creation of viceroyalties which could potentially threaten the Crown of Castile, Spain’s governing monarchy. In turn the council created the first mainland Audiencia in 1527, in order to encourage further exploration in the region. However, management via the Audiencia proved to be unsuccessful and as a result, King Charles V promoted Antonio de Mendoza as the first Viceroy of New Spain. Through the Viceroy’s commissions and campaigns, the Council of Indies and the Churches moved across the region attempting to convert the populations to Catholicism while generating capital for the Crown. Through their efforts the native population began to labour for the Crown and the Spaniard men and women intermarried with the indigenous tribes.

This formed the basis of Colonial Mexico and after a time, the population was divided into four main castes. The first and most powerful group were the pureblood Spaniards, born to Spanish parents and originating from Spain, and only they could hold the highest-level jobs in the government. The second group were called the Creoles, people who were born in Mexico but were born to both Spanish parents, but despite their ethnicity matching the pureblood Spaniards, even the wealthiest Creoles had little to no say in the government. The third group were the halfblood Mestizos, even those with only a single native Indian ancestor could be considered Mestizos and these were looked down upon by the Spaniards and the Creoles alike due to a common view of Caucasian superiority shared by the Spanish populace. The only group lower than the Mestizos were in fact the original owners of the land: the Native Indians. The Indians were often forced into labour on the ranches and farms of the Spaniards and Creoles alongside the less-visible fifth class, the imported African slaves.

The educative sector flourished dramatically with encouragement and funding from the Crown with schools opening in 1523, printing houses in 1524 and universities in 1551. Trade between the region and other civilizations, however, did not flourish as significantly as the only means of trade with the outside world was by sea and the only ports open to foreign trade were Veracruz on the Atlantic shores and Acapulco on the Pacific. This was in an attempt to dissuade the English, Dutch and French pirates but it was not very successful, as the pirates pillaged the cities of Campeche in 1557, Veracruz itself in 1568 and Alvarado in 1667.

The Spanish finally began to subdue the last city states one-by-one. In 1697, the last states, the Ko’woj city of Zacpeten and the Itza polity of Tayasal, were dissolved. Over a hundred years later in the beginning of the 19^th Century, the then-dubbed ‘New Spain’ wished to take its independence and have the Spaniards who held all of the political power divulge it among the castes of the Indians, Creoles and Mestizos. Inspired by the records of the American and French Revolutions, insurgents in the region saw the opportunity to take the country’s independence in 1808 when the King abdicated in Madrid as Spain was forced into war.

Issuing The Cry of Dolores in 1810 on the 16^th of September, the day celebrated as Mexico’s Independence day, Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla began to shout “Independence and death to the Spaniards!” Rallying a large peasant army and marching on the New Spanish Capital, they attempted to take the city but failed miserably and Father Hidalgo was executed. However, this inspired another priest, Jose Maria Morelos began to fight in his place and was moderately more successful, but he too was captures and executed in 1815. In turn, the Creoles led by Augustin de Iturbide, joined the fight and formulated the Plan of Iguala, in another attempt to demand independence from the Spaniard rule. On the 27^th of September 1821, Iturbide and the ruling Viceroy signed the Treaty of Cordoba and Spain withdrew, granting the new nation of Mexico its independence.

Despite now having control of the country, Iturbide rapidly became a tyrannical dictator and declared himself the emperor of Mexico, copying the ceremony Napoleon used to declare himself emperor of France. Anyone who spoke against Iturbide was executed and he quickly filled the government with corrupt officials who worked on bribes and dishonest business deals. By 1823, just two years after Spain had pulled out, the Mexican public had enough and forced Iturbide into exile, reforming the country as a Republic in 1824. The new constitution saw its modelling on the US Constitution guaranteeing basic human rights and dividing the responsibilities of the government between the ruling body of the country and each of the individual states within. At this time, the United Mexican States had been established and Catholicism had been named its state religion.

The attention of the Mexican government largely was drawn to the northern states where Comache Indian raids frequently ravaged the towns and villages of the northern reaches. They formulated a strategy and began to allow American Citizens to settle in Coahuila y Tejas on condition that they convert to Catholicism and become Mexican Citizens, as well as not to bring any slaves in. However, these conditions were largely ignored and through a combination of settling far from the standard Comanche raid locations as well as using the Mexican government’s failure as an excuse, the state rose up against the government and after a war lasting from 1835 to 1836. Upon defeat at the hands of the Texian army, the Republic of Texas was created later on the same year the war ended.

In response to the massacre of an American army in disputed territory during the war, the United States Congress declared war in May 1846 on Mexico and in turn, Mexico did the same later on the same month. The following year the US moved into Mexico and in just twelve days after arrival in Veracruz, the city was captured under order of General Winfield Scott. The General pushed on, taking Puebla and Chapultepec before Mexico surrendered and signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, selling Mexico’s northern territories to the US for $15 Million.

In 1855, Mexico began to undergo a large series of reforms under guidance of new young political leaders such as Benito Juarez, Santos Degollado, Juan Alvarex, Jose Maria Inglesias and Ignacio Comonfort, Melchor Ocampo as well as the brothers Miguel and Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada. Through their strategy of limiting the traditional privilege land holding of the Catholic Church and therefore effectively revitalize the market in land. Additionally in the same year the now squanderer of Mexico’s governmental funding, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, was overthrown and replaced. After a series of other reformations, liberalism dominated the region politically and endured into the 20^th Century.

In the 1860s the country was invaded by France and the country successfully installed Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria as Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. Through support by the church, some indigenous communities and conservative elements of the upper class, the new Emperor married his consort: Empress Carlota of Mexico and the two settled in at Chapultepec Castle. However, despite the views of the French Emperor Napoleon III who looked to exploit the country’s mines, the new Emperor and Empress sought to ensure the human rights of the people of Mexico.

Despite the quite takeover of the country, the French didn’t make any profit through it and the Mexican expedition decreased in popularity. Eventually the US demanded in 1865 that the French withdraw their troops from Mexico to which Napoleon complied. In just a couple of years Maximillian was captured and executed but Juarez, Federal Government visionary, remained in power as the Republic was restored and he was re-elected. He was re-elected again in 1971 as his reforms rapidly developed the country into a powerful new nation. Just a year later he died but was succeeded by Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada.
In 1876 the dictator Porfirio Diaz took over the country but dedicated himself to law and order, modernizing the country through higher tax but in turn better administration and improvements in national finances, industry, railways, public safety, foreign trade, mining and public health. Through the dictatorship’s efforts the country moved from international ridicule to pride and this mass development lasted for over thirty years until 1911.

20^th Century History

In 1910, the now elderly Diaz decided to hold another election expecting to win in a landslide due to the lack of any other serious opposition. However, an academic from a rich family named Francisco I. Madero ran against him and gained overwhelming support despite being imprisoned by Diaz. When the results were announced Diaz had an overwhelming victory. The fraud was far too blatant and the public rose up, breaking out in riots across the nation. Through these riots, Madero was able to rally the Mexican public against their dictator and escape prison, fleeing to San Antonio, Texas, to prepare the overthrow of Diaz. Although Diaz attempted to use the military to quell the uprising, the ranking generals were simply unable to move swiftly enough and in 1911 Diaz resigned and was exiled into France, passing away four years later.

The revolutionary force lead by Emiliano Zapata, Pascual Orozco and Pancho Villa were honoured for their actions and their leaders were instated as members of the new government under Madero. However, due to the different objectives each of the politicians shared, conflict again broke out and lasted for 20 years, seeing the assassination of revolutionaries Pancho Villa in 1923 and Emiliano Zapata in 1919. Madero himself was assassinated in 1913 under order of Victoriano Huerta, one of Diaz’ generals, in a coup d’état but due to his brutality, he lost support and was overthrown by Venustiano Carranza in 1915. Carranza was assassinated in 1919 by Alvaro Obregon, an ally who had plotted against him.

Obregon was successfully able to accommodate all elements of Mexican society except some landlords and the clergymen and as such was able to catalyse social liberalization and improve education as well as taking steps towards instituting women’s civil rights. However, his ineligibility for re-election caused him to choose his interior minister, Plutarco Elias Calles, as his successor. The first populist presidential candidate for the country, Calles did try to make good on his promises presented to the public but mainly failed and the Cristero Wars of 1926 lasted for three years, erupting in reaction to Calles’ anti-Catholic policies. Obregon was also assassinated in 1928. These wars were solved in the end through diplomatic means with assistance of the US Ambassador, Dwight Whitney Morrow, after the war had already claimed ninety-thousand lives.

In 1929 the National Mexican Party formed by the president was able to convince most of the remaining revolutionary generals to hand over their armies to join the Mexican Army. The new system was able to monopolize all of the political branches and it wasn’t until fifty years later that it lost its first senate seat. As the 1930s began, President Lazaro Cardenas rose up into power and dramatically united the country’s political systems, transforming Mexico in the process. He started to distribute free textbooks to children, created the National Polytechnic Institute, reformed the land, nationalized the oil industry and exiled the last dictator, General Calles, as to remove the military’s political power.

During the Second World War, Mexico only played a minor military role but on an economic level it was a country with much on the line. The country at first was exporting oil to countries all over the world but following the Douglas-Weichers Agreement of 1941, the country exclusively dealt with the United States alone. However, this was due to change further when the country lost some of its oil carriers in the Gulf of Mexico through attacks by German ships, and thus Mexico declared war upon the Axis Powers in 1942. Their most famous group, Escuadron 201, or the Aztec Eagles, numbered over three-hundred volunteers and assisted in the liberation of the Phillipines alongside the United States Air Force. Additionally the war created work for over 290 thousand Mexican workers in farms in the US, bringing another stable source of income and produce for both countries.

Averaging 3-4% annual economic growth every year for the next four decades, El Milagro Mexicano, or the Mexican Economic Miracle, occurred. This was mainly due to a large investment into agriculture, energy, transportation and education (tripling the enrolment rate in schools between 1929 and 1949), as well as higher tariffs on any imported domestic goods to encourage exportation over importation and generate excess revenue for the state. Amazingly, even during the Great Depression of the 30s and 40s the country still averaged 3-4% annual economic growth. However, due to the single party’s economic policies, political unrest ensued and in 1968 the resulting Tlatelolco Massacre claimed the lives of students, children and other public protesters as the military gunned them down during a peaceful protest, killing around thirty but seriously wounding hundreds more.

Following this, large-scale economic crisis swept through the country in 1976 and again in 1982, which forced the government to nationalize Mexico’s banks which were largely blamed for the problems, additionally the Mexican Peso was devalued dramatically at the end of each Presidential term. In 1985, the single-party government had to suddenly dispatch relief efforts in an attempt to aid those injured and left homeless from the magnitude 8.1 earthquake of the same year which claimed the lives of up to thirty thousand. They were criticized for their mishandling of the relief efforts and the public were left furious and doubtful of the government’s capabilities.

The results of the 1988 election were disputed furiously and as a response to this the Instituto Federal Electoral (or IFE) was created to ensure the legitimacy and legality of all held elections. Meanwhile the economy stuttered again and the US stepped in, granting $50 Billion in loan guarantees and bringing the peso up to six pesos per dollar. Through these efforts the economy began growing once again and by 1997 Mexico repaid all of its US treasure loans. However, the repeated and blatant fraud of the single-party government pushed the public to realize that a shift in power was needed desperately.

21^st Century History

For the first time in over seventy years, the single-party government lost to the National Action Party’s Vincente Fox Quesada and the hegemony of the ruling PRI party collapsed. Following this, Fox was succeeded in the following election by Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, also of the National Action Party, albeit only by a 0.56% margin of votes. During his time in office, Calderon raised the salaries of the Federal Police and the Mexican Military but imposed a cap on the salaries of all high-ranking public servants, as well as enforcing the aggression of the drug war on the cartels in the country. Rising back into power from over twelve years of National Action Party rule, Enrique Pena Nieto of the PRI party was elected President with 38% of the votes in 2012. 

 

Phrases

Above are a few common Spanish phrases to help you get around.

 

Languages

A vast range of languages is spoken in Mexico with most of the population fluent in Spanish while some minorities still speak their native tongue. The languages spoken number around seventy indigenous and twenty international, with many of these international languages only being spoken by select isolated groups.

Indigenous language speakers make up around 6% of the population, despite around 12% of the population identifying as belonging to an indigenous group. The most common languages spoken in this regard are Nahuatl (1.3 million), Yuatec Maya (759 thousand), Mixtec (423 thousand), Zapotec (410 thousand), Tzeltal Maya (371 thousand), Tzotzil Maya (329 thousand), Otomi (239 thousand), Totonac (230 thousand) and Mazatec (206 thousand).

Other languages spoken in the country include English, Arabic, German, Italian, Venetian, Occitan, French, Basque, Catalan, Asturian, Galician, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Hebrew, Plautdietsch, Ladino, Cherokee and Armenian, among others. Although it is important to note that many of the aforementioned languages are only spoken in small pocket communities and villages or by the few roaming immigrants.

Religion

With the major religion in Mexico being Catholicism, over 80% of the country’s population claim to be Roman Catholic with a further 12% considered members of other branches of Christianity (including Protestantism, Othodox, Seventh-day Adventists and more). Only around 3% make up other religions, mainly Muslims, Buddhists, Bahai Practitioners and Jews, and around 5% are considered completely non-religious.

Specifically, there are believed to be over six million Protestants, around half a million Seventh-day Adventists and over a million Jehovah’s witnesses. The orthodoxy has numbers similar to those of the Seventh-day Adventists and the Mormon population is meant to mimic the numbers of the Jehovah’s witnesses. Additionally, the Mexican-born La Luz del Mundo branch of Christianity makes their international headquarters in Mexico in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

Meanwhile, there are around 50,000 Jews in Mexico, around 4000 Muslims (mainly Sunnites and a few Shiites), almost 110,000 Buddhists as well as one of the six Tibet Houses used by the Dalai Lama and other members of Tibetan Buddhism, and over 40,000 Bahai Practitioners.

Museums, Galleries & Architecture

Although Architecture is very modernized in the region nowadays, historically the indigenous tribes built a multitude of large-scale cities out of many heavily-laboured stone bricks. These typically follow pyramid-like stepped structural formats with a lot of emphasis on square shapes and slanted, but symmetrical, angles. Additionally, adorned columns and detailed large stone figures take an important part in native architecture and it’s believed that these were crafted not just to help keep records and legends alive, but also to help demonstrate the influence of the ruling nobility at the time. Some of the most prominent sites include The Pyramid of the Sun and the surrounding Teotihuacan city area, the Temple of Warriors at Chichen Itza, the Statues at Tula, and Uxmal & the Pyramid of the Magician in the Nunnery Quadrangle.

Upon arrival of the Spanish, large-scale monastic developments took place, cultivating in the creation of a wide range of churches, cathedrals and other monastic buildings. These buildings play on a lot of Gothic influences that many churches constructed at the time were subject to, but keep a cleaner and smoother appearance with more emphasis on large stained glass windows and less on spiked steeples and gargoyle-guarded doorways. Famous Hispanic works include the Palace of Michoacan, Chapel of the Rosary in Santo Domingo, Puebla Cathedral and the Indigenous Baroque in Sierra Gorda.

Contemporary architecture, on the other hand, is developed with a sort of neo-mesoamerican appearance, keeping to the original stepped square forms and sense of symmetry used but using modern materials and technology for taller and tighter structures. Good examples of this can be seen in the Torre Latinoamericana and to a lesser extent, the Torre Major, the Santa Fe Business District and the National Auditorium in Chapultepec, Mexico City.

Clothing, Dress Style & Etiquette

Traditionally, clothing was reserved only for the elite and the nobility of the various indigenous tribe castes. However, that which was produced was of the highest quality by the best craftsmen of the time and included fabrics mainly woven from fibers from Yucca and Palm trees as well as Cotton and a type of bark paper called Amate (used only ceremonially). Cotton however, was so precious that is was often used as currency. Clothing was considered an art form and took such skill to make that many Mesoamerican cultures had a god of weaving and buried women with woven items that they had made, even Cortes himself commented on the high quality of the items made by the natives in his letters to King Charles V of Spain.

Out of the pre-Hispanic clothing that survived to this day, common female pieces include the Enredo (wrapped dresses) held in place by a Faja (cloth belts) and often worn with a Quechquemitl (a short square poncho) or a Huipil (a type of tunic). These are often embroidered with various colourful patterns and imagery and a Rebozo (a long rectangular shawl) is often worn over the top.

Few male pre-Hispanic clothing, records or techniques have survived to this day but it is known that the Sarape (a long blanket-like shawl) was a favourite public piece at the time and is still worn today by performers of various arts. Through artwork records of the tribes, it is known that it was very common for men to go about naked during their day to day activities, and to a lesser but still fairly common extent, women as well.

Literature, Poetry, Music & Dance

Indigenous literature wasn’t frequent for the various Mesoamerican cultures, despite developing highly detailed methods of writing and communication systems most legends and myths of the groups were passed down the generations through oral traditions. These tales and philosophies often chronicled the tales of gods and beasts, the creation of the world and many life-lessons to go by. However, some of the tales were passed down through literary means following the Spanish missionaries taking records on paper via the Latin Alphabet. These works include the lyrical works of Acolmiztli Nezahualcoyotl, the Books of Chilam Balam, the Popol Vuh and the chronicles of Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl.

Following the Colonial period, the conquistadores and explorers of the region produced many written accounts of the new world. Additionally, the church regulated written culture for the most part up until the 19^th Century, when a revolution in the authoring world produced works such as the epic poem Martin Fierro by Jose Hernandez in 1872 and the novel Sab in 1841, written by Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda. These 19^th Century pieces typically focused on the predjudice, oppression and overall bad treatment of the gaucho, women and slave minorities.

In the 20^th century following World War II, there was another literary boom and authors such as Julio Cortazar, Emire Rodriguez Monegal and Gabriel Garcia Marquez made their appearances with books such as Rayuela in 1963, Mundo Nuevo in 1966 and Cien anos de soledad also in 1966 respectively. Since then the contemporary literature stage has set in and the public enjoy works such as Antwerp by Roberto Balano in 2002 (but written in 1980), Onze Minutos by Paulo Coelho in 2003 and The Sum of Our Days by Isabel Allende in 2008, as well as many others.

Mexican Music and dance can be split, traditionally-speaking, into five main music forms: Son, Ranchera, Corrido, Mariachi and Banda.

Son features a predominant triple meter with a regular major mode with a harmonic vocabulary limited to progressions from I, IV, II7, V and V5. It’s typically performed by a small group of people with an emphasis on stringed instruments but some region-specific exceptions. The form includes a variety of genres including Abajeno, Chilena, Istmenos, Son Calentano, Sones de Arpa Grande, Son Huasteco, Son Jarocho and Son Jaliscience. These genres are most heavily inspired by and draw from influences from the indigenous peoples of the land.

Traditionally sung by a single performer with a guitar, Ranchera music today is now associated closely with a banda, or band, and incorporates a range of instruments with rhythms typically in 3/4 , 2/4 or 4/4 to mimic the tempos of the waltz, the pola and the bolero, respectively. The genre was originally derived from the ranches because many of the oldest tunes played were originally written about and on the ranches of the era.

Corrido music, on the other hand, features a greater sense of narrative in the form of a ballad. These typically include old legends and stories about criminals, heroes, women and couples, but more contemporary Corrido have been able drug trafficking, migrant labour, immigration and the Chupacabra (a cryptid said to roam the Mexican lands).

Another ensemble-based genre, Mariachi music is performed similarly to Ranchera but typically is more upbeat and lively; the band may use variations of string instruments, bowed instruments and trumpets. Additionally, some Mariachi bands use the accordion, organ, French horn and the flute for more specific arrangements and pieces.

Finally, Banda music was developed to imitate the military bands of the Second Mexican Empire and mimic a sound resembling Polka music greatly. The band can use a great array of instruments and are not limited by traditional origins or typical arrangements, switching up their instruments frequently for various pieces.

Contemporary works, however, are varied greatly and range from the Latin Alternative variants to Mexican Rock, Pop, Ska and Electronic. Popular artists include master guitarist Carlos Santana, rock band Mana, extreme metal band Xiuhtecuhtli and pop singers Enrique Inglesias and Shakira. Additionally, variants of Jazz, Classic, Bolero and Opera are incredibly popular within the country.

Calendar & Events

Starting with January 1^st, New Years’ day is declared a public holiday and a day for parties, festivals and celebrations. Five days later on January 6^th, Dia de los Reyes Magos (Three Kings Day) is celebrated in a similar way to the western Christmas, with the giving of gifts and large meals. On February 2^nd the Dia de la Candelaria is celebrated with dances, musical performances and an abundance of food. On the 5^th of February the public gets another holiday in the form of the Constitution day, celebrating the day Mexico drew up and enacted the new Constitution. Finally, in late February and occasionally early March, Carnaval takes place and a large celebration consisting of even larger parades and processions, dances, fireworks, music and food, begins.

In March, Benito Juarez, the country’s first president, has his birthday celebrated on the 21^st in the form of a public holiday, more parties, dancing and music ensues nationwide. From Ash Wednesday to the week following Easter Sunday, the busiest time in Mexico, Holy Week, begins and festivals, parties, fireworks and more kick in full swing. At the end of the Spring Equinox on March 21^st, many ancient archaeological structures line up perfectly with the light of the sun, so it’s advised to keep an eye on these spots, especially the most popular one, Chichen-Itza. Lasting from April 3^rd to the 7^th, the Cuernavaca Flower Fair takes place and on the 12^th until May 4^th, the San Marcos Fair in Aguascalientes takes place.

On May 1^st the country takes another national holiday for Dial de Trabajo (Labour Day) then again on May 5^th for Cinco de Mayo, celebrating the defeat of the French at the Battle of Puebla by the Mexican forces. In June, Corpus Christi is celebrated and a variety of processions take place, especially around El Tajin where the Voladores, or flying dancers, perform annually. On Dial de la Marina (Navy Day) on June 1^st, the coastal towns and villages break into parties and fireworks.

Meanwhile, the Mexican Independence Day, Dia de la Independencia, is celebrated on the 16^th of September with a national holiday and a wide variety of celebrations nationwide. Additionally more archeological structures are realigned with the sun’s light during the Autumn Equinox on September 21^st for a truly mystical day out, especially in Chichen-Itza. On October 12^th, Columbus Day, or Dia de la Raza, is celebrated with a national holiday. This is then followed with the Cervantino Festival which features many performing artists from all over the world, followed by Fiestas de Octubre (October Parties) which see the Mariachi celebrate their music style with performances throughout the cities.

November sees some of the biggest celebrations including the Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, on November 1^st and 2^nd which celebrates life and livelihood and features candy skulls, skeletons and Pan de Muertos (Bread of the Dead), the Day of the Revolution, Dia de la Revolucion, which is celebrated on November 20^th but is not marked as a public holiday, and Fiestas de Mar in Puerto Vallarta from November 10^th on to the end of the month which celebrates the biggest party and golf tournament in the region.

November’s events are only matched by December, in which the Dia de la Asuncion de la Virgen Guadalupe (Assumption Day) is celebrated on the 1^st and the 12^th through fireworks, dancing and traditional food and drink. There are also parties for nine days leading up to Christmas Day in the Posadas de Navidad which celebrate the Christian Nativity story. Mexico Celebrates Christmas on the same day in a similar way to other Western countries and on New Years’ eve the celebrations commence again but this time with a twist, during the celebrations colourful eggshells full of food colouring, confetti and the like are thrown about.

Money

The currency used in Mexico is the Peso which can be divided into 100 Centavos. The symbols used for these share the a common origin with the Dollar currencies used in the United States and other parts of the world and both use the original Spanish Dollar and Cent symbols. The international code used is MXN and MXN 1 is equivalent to about $0.07 or £0.05.

Coins come in 5, 10, 20 and 50 Centavo variants as well as 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Peso variants. Meanwhile Bank notes come in 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Peso variants.

Economy

Mexico’s Economy is statistically the 14^th largest in the world and the 10^th largest by purchasing power parity. The country also owns the world’s hardest working labour force in terms of annual hours worked with 78 million Mexican workers, according to the OECD and the WTO. Mexico’s chief exports include the high-quality automotive industry which is world renowned for well-designed muscle cars, Cemex the world’s largest cement producer and the biggest construction company on the planet, Gruma the largest producer of corn-flour in the world and many more.

The technology industry is increasingly prevalent in the country with around 20% of all exports being high-tech industrial production-based. These typically include tablet PCs, televisions, computers, OEM and ODM manufacture and various PC components. Tourism is also incredibly important in the country and has been ranked the 8^th most visited country in the world mainly due to its extensive culture and large abandoned ancient cities and archaeological sites. However, the biggest sector is the Services in the country which account for over 70% of the country’s gross domestic produce and are said to employ around 60% of the population.

Banking

In the past twenty years the majority of Mexican banks have been bought out by many corporate banks of the developed Western World and as a result not only is banking easier than ever but now ATMs are widespread across the region and as a result money is easy to withdraw and transfer. However it’s important to note that most ATMs charge a 3% fee for withdrawals and fake ATM machines used by scammers are rampant, so whenever possible use an ATM in a bank and err on the side of caution. Additionally, the dollar sign is used for both MXN Pesos and USD Dollars so make sure you’re withdrawing the right amount.

Types of accounts vary but the typical three held in most Mexican Banks are: Peso Denominated Checking Accounts which require a significant deposit to open, these are used for day-to-day activities. US Dollar Checking Accounts are similar to the Peso Denominated variety but are designed for USD input rather than MXN. Lastly, Certificates of Deposit accounts are only offered in Pesos but the interest is typically the highest out of the three types, albeit with a restriction on withdrawals.

Taxes

Corporate Tax in the country is at around 28% to 30% but Individual Tax can vary from 3% to 29% based on your income. Additionally, there’s a 35% Payroll Tax and VAT remains at around 16%. Meanwhile, depending on the vehicle driven you may be subject to Vehicle Tax in some states, although some states do not tax this at all. 

Fusing together European and the Indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica, Mexican Cuisine features some of the most culturally diverse and critically unique dishes across the world. Some of the most common staple foods are taken directly from the native diet and include corn, chili peppers and beans but also feature food imported by the Spanish during their time in the country, these include beef, chicken, sheep and goat as well as cheese and some types of spices and non-indigenous herbs.

In the north its normal to eat Cabrito (spitroast goat), Arrachera (a cut of beef steak taken from the plate), Cuajada (a sweet creamy curd made from milk), Queso Fresco (farmer’s cheese) and almost sixty varieties of a smoked cheese called Asadero. The region is best known for the presence of wheat in many of its meals, especially in the production of tortillas. Additionally the region has recently seen widespread influence of Chinese and Jewish traditions in the production of food and Baja Med cuisine has emerged most of all.

Southern cuisine typically includes more influences from the Zapotec and, more prominently, the Mixtec civilizations. Mole sauce is commonly used in dishes and may include Negro, Coloradito, Amarillo, Chichillo, Mancha Manteles, Verde and Rojo varieties. Tamale, a type of dough dish, is commonly produced with corn and black beans are used frequently in soups alongside Enfrijoladas, a dish made out of corn tortillas, beans and cheese.



Moving more Westwards, the cuisine is based primarily on the Purepecha culture and features a larger amount of seafood in the diet. Dishes may include a variety of Tamales with different fillings called Corundas, Cactus Fruit flavoured stew, Menudo (a type of soup made with beef stomach and with a red chili pepper base) and many imported dishes such as rice and pork. Fish are most prevalent in the varieties of Marlin, Snapper, Shrimp, Swordfish, Tuna and Octopus, whilst tropical fruits and mild green chili peppers are used heavily.

Finally, on the far eastern region of the country the Yucatan peninsula houses even more types of cuisine. Food eaten here may include a range of tropical fruits, more so than their neighbours, in the forms of bitter oranges, tamarinds, avocados, plums and mamey. Additionally the region utilizes dishes such as the Cochinita Pibil, which is made by slowly roasting pork after marinating the meat in citrus juice and annatto seeds and wrapping it in a banana leaf.

Corn is also used in the hot drink Atole (flavoured with fruit, chocolate and rice) as well as being fermented for cold drinks such as Tejuino and Pozol. Many street vendors in Mexico sell these incredibly sweet drinks. Among the alcoholic drinks, famous varieties include Tequila, Pulque, Mezcal and Aguardiente as well as types of rum, wine, beer and brandy. Finally, Chocolate is commonly produced and drank in the country after being mixed with vanilla, chili pepper and Achiote (a type of seed from a tree of the same name).

Citizens of Russia, Turkey and Ukraine may apply for authorization to stay in Mexico for up to 180 days through the Electronic Authorization System.

Additionally, all passengers who would require a VISA normally may use Mexico City for transit provided they spend no more than 24 hours in the country.

Health Care

Provided via both public institutions and private practitioners, all those who can afford the private healthcare are entitled to it, while public health care delivery is accomplished via a provisioning and delivery system through the Mexican Federal Government.

Despite achieving Universal Health Care in 2012, Mexico’s health care system is reputed to lag severely behind other developed nations in terms of standards and availability. For instance, for every thousand people there are around two doctors and nurses available, the mortality rate for children younger than five is at around 15 out of 1000 live births and only about 98% of people have access to potable water with only just about 80% having access to sanitation.

Despite these flaws, Mexico’s health care has still developed dramatically, even more so than other developed countries, in the last decade. Alongside this fact, the system is very affordable with Mexican dentistry often only costing 20-25% of the price of the US as well as an overnight stay in a private hospital room costing around $35. Due to this, somewhere around sixty thousand American seniors spend their retirement years in Mexico. Additionally, due to a widespread amount of training, the quality of physicians in Mexico has been compared to that of the US.

Transportation

Mexico’s roadways are noted to be some of the longest in the world with over 366,000 kilometres of roadway and 116,000 kilometres paved. Of these over 10,500 kilometres are multi-lane expressways, over 9,500 kilometres are four-lane highways and all other roads have at least six lanes.

Meanwhile the Rail network is privatized and has been since 1998, the railways include the Mexico City Metro, Monterrey Metro, Xochimilco Light Rail and Guadalajara light rail system. Additionally, a high-speed rail has been proposed to be built between Mexico City and Guadalajara, passing through the cities of Queretaro, Guanajuato, Leon and Irapuato in the process.

Air-wise, Mexico had over 1800 airports and is the 3^rd most air-traffic dominated country in the world and has the most advanced airport infrastructure in the whole of Latin American. These airways transport over 26 million passengers a year and are home to over seventy domestic airline companies.

Mexico also has over seventy seaports and more than ten river ports, these include Veracruz, Altamira, Lazaro Cardenas and Manzanillo as the most populous.

Phone Lines

Mainly owned by Telmex, the phoneline infrastructure in Mexico is vast with over 20 million lines across the country. But it recommends using a mobile telephone in remote mountainous regions due to the expensive costs of running landlines. Additionally, there is an estimated 95 million mobile lines in the country.

Internet

There are above twenty-five-million internet users in the country with 78% having access to broadband and basing over 16.25 million internet hosts in Mexico. Additionally, fiber-optic and coaxial cable is being used more and more frequently and the county uses over 120 earth satellite stations.

Communications

TV-wise, the country is dominated by Televisa and Azteca and is home to over 230 television stations, over 1400 radio stations and over 900 complementary stations. 

Weather & Climate

The climate in Mexico can be broken down into sections based on the land’s elevation in relation to the sea.

Below 1,000 metres above sea level the land has an average temperature ranging between 24 and 28 degrees Centigrade (75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit) with the temperature only fluctuating by about 5 degrees Centigrade (9 degrees Fahrenheit) between the summer and winter months. Additionally the elevation is known to keep hot and humid conditions all year around. Between 1,000 and 2,000 metres above sea level the region typically averages temperatures between 16 and 20 degrees Centigrade (61 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit) and most areas tend to keep pleasantly cool conditions throughout the year. Above 2,000 metres the temperature drop further and manage a yearly average between 8 and 12 degrees Centigrade (46 and 54 degrees Fahrenheit) but it’s still normal for most areas to keep cool pleasant summers and wild winters throughout the course of the year.

Weather-wise, the conditions that determine the outcome are dependent on the area’s position in the country.

In the north-west and north-east there is rainfall equivalent to between 300 and 600 millimetres per year. Meanwhile in the south of the region rainfall typically doubles this at between 600 and 1,000 millimetres per year. Finally, around the coastal region of the Gulf of Mexico, conditions are wetter still with over 1,000 millimetres of rain every year, the wettest region being the state of Tabasco which sees over 2,000 millimetres of rain yearly. Typically the rainy season is between June and October, with the months between November and May being much drier.

It should be mentioned that Mexico is located right in the dead centre of a hurricane belt meaning the region is prone to hurricane weather from time to time; these can cause extensive damage and occasional loss of life. Hurricane Gilbert, for example, passed right over Cancun in 1988 and with winds at speeds of over 200 kilometres an hour, tore apart many of the hotels in the resort area, before passing into Monterrey and ripping apart the crops and killing dozens.

Education in Mexico is regulated by the Secretaria de Educacion Publica (Secretariat of Public Education) and all schools prior to a university level are set by this ministry.

One of Mexico’s biggest problems is the high crime rate in the country, out of these the largest and most prevalent problems are drug trafficking and organized crime as well as the violent crime as a result of the former two. Out of 100,000 people the crime rate is at around 1500 in total, with around 13 murders (2 of these with firearms), 250 assaults (186 of these being aggravated), 14 rapes, 112 general thefts, 139 automobile thefts, 146 robberies, 54 frauds and 23 drug offences. The worst cities are Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez, other cities and towns have lower but still serious crime rates.

The high crime rate is generally due to poor law enforcement through both low apprehension and conviction rates, the main reason for the low apprehension and conviction rates is due to the distrust of the authorities by citizens and as such, only one out of every ten crimes is reported in Mexico and only one out of every hundred crimes goes to the sentencing stage, this means that only one out of every thousand crimes is punished.
