Mexico's history is huge. But the main reasons of Spaniards coming and conquering Mexico and its people living there is the huge amounts of gold, silver and other beaufifull stones the native people would use and wear. Also the cities and temples where mainly covered in such way. Since Spain was looking for resources to maintain its power in Europe, they send explorators to go and search after the myth of the city of gold (remember the movie "the road to el dorado"?). The myth  was created by the same Spaniards as a way to keep their men going in the long journeys more, and more into the desert part of Mexico. They would make false promises that they would be so rich, they will never have to work in the rest of their days. In the religious part, the Spanish Kings send the missionaries to 'educate' the natives. But we all know that this as only a way to keep the natives from revealing against the spanish invasors. And that is also the beggining of catholicism in Mexico.\nThere is a lot of information available everywhere. I hope I have helped you where to start for your paper.

I don't know how the past can be used as a valid argument, it doesnt make sense. \n             Excerpt from the History Channel\n\n                   War with the U.S.\nThe residents of Texas, then under Mexican rule, had been angered in 1829 by a governmental decree abolishing slavery, and the plan by Santa Anna to centralize the government increased their resentment. Texas rebelled in 1836 and declared its independence after Santa Anna was decisively defeated by the Texan leader Sam Houston at San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. In 1846, as a result of friction between U.S. citizens and Mexicans, a dispute over the western boundary of Texas, and the desire of Americans to acquire California, the U.S. declared war on May 12 (see Mexican War). The Mexican forces were again routed, and U.S. troops occupied northern Mexico and, in 1847, Mexico City. Under the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on Feb. 2, 1848, the Rio Grande was fixed as the boundary of Texas and the territory now forming the states of California and New Mexico became part of the U.S. The Gadsden Purchase in 1853 clarified the New Mexico boundary and gave an additional strip of territory (now southern Arizona and a slice of southwestern New Mexico) to the U.S. \n\nMexico was confronted with a grave reconstruction problem after the war. Finances were devastated, and the prestige of the government, already weak, had considerably diminished. Santa Anna, compelled to resign after the war, returned from exile in 1853 and, with Centralist support, declared himself dictator. Early in 1854 a liberal revolt began, and after more than a year of intensive fighting, Santa Anna fled from Mexico. The revolution was the first event in a long, fierce struggle between the powerful classes that had traditionally dominated Mexico and the liberal democrats who demanded a voice in the government.

"In late 1861, Napoleon III of France sent his troops to Mexico, supposedly to collect debts owed by a previous Mexican government. President Benito Juárez had agreed to pay these debts, but only in installments. The true goal of Napoleon III was to dispose of the Mexican Constitutional Government, set up a monarchy favorable to France, and then expand control to Central and South America.\n\nNapoleon III's troops occupied the port city of Veracruz on December 8, 1861. The expedition's true goal soon became apparent."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Puebla\n\nhttp://www.historychannel.com/tdih/tdih.jsp?category=general&month=10272957&day=10272970

If it was it was stolen by Texans.  Texas won it's independence in 1836 and was the Texas Republic until 1845 when it joined the Union.  The Mexican-American War was not until after that.  Lincoln's single term in the U.S. Congress was from 1847-1849.  If it can be said that we stole any lands from Mexico as a result of the settlement of a war, could it not be said that Mexico had itself stolen these lands from Spain?  Then of course we all know who had them before that and had it stole from them as well.  Are we now trying to rewrite history books to make them politically correct without stepping on anyone's toes?

The Aztecs, or more properly, the Mexicas, for whom the later Republic of Mexico was named, were a Mesoamerican people of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. They were a civilization with a rich mythology and cultural heritage. Their capital was Tenochtitlan, built on raised islets in Lake Texcoco – the site of modern-day Mexico City. The Aztec empire produced the biggest demographic explosion in Mesoamerica: the population grew from an estimated 10 million to 15 million.

I lived in Mexico for 12 years.\n\nTheir number one reason for the economic problems has been their political system, and the past presidents robbing their own people.

Wow, you really need to go back and study history.  \n\nThe Spaniards conquered the Aztecs in Mexico at about the same time that the English Colonies were starting in the North East.  \n\nThe Mexicans are the descendants of the Spaniards and Aztecs (as are most of the South American Continent.)  That is why they speak Spanish.    \n\nAmerica never stole land from the Mexicans.  We stole land from the American Indian (Native Americans).  Texas was at one point part of Mexico, but it won it's Independence on it's own and became an independent sovereign nation.  Later of course Texas citizens voted to become part of the US.

Previous answers offer very textbook-style responses, but what if the entire mainstream approach to 19th century social/industrial history is flawed?  Entrepreneurs create wealth, but they do not keep it all to themselves.  That's not how enterprise works; only monarchs in conquest gathered wealth without there being trickle-down effects.  The standard of living in the U.S. (for instance) rose dramatically thanks to the so-called robber barons.  This term is a complete misnomer because "robber barons" were neither thieves nor aristocracy!  The phrase is used to discredit their achievements and foment jealousy in anyone who hates people who have something they don't.  Many of us are jealous of anyone who has more money than we do.  Look in the mirror and see if it's true.  \nThere is no such thing as a classless society: the difference that makes the idea of capitalism so "radical" is that unlike in traditional societies under feudalism or a caste system, there will always be opportunities for poorer people to change things in their lives and become wealthier, and richer people to screw up and lose the money they've made or inherited.  That dynamic quality is what makes more capitalistic systems function and makes them better for those societies involved.  The only problem is when government tries to run the show.  Most people are taught that economies must be tampered with by politicians, but this belief serves politics perfectly.  When "unfair business practices" are a societal ill, when monopolies prohibit competition, they exist only with the blessing of the government... and that is NOT capitalism.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA was built from the 3rd century BC until the beginning of the 17th century, in order to protect the various dynasties from raids by Hunnic, (Huns) Mongol, Turkic, and other nomadic tribes coming from areas in modern-day Mongolia and Manchuria. \n\nThese tribes were seen as invaders, not immigrants.\n\nThe difference between the Chinese and Mexican walls is very simple.  The immigrants illegally coming into the United States are not invaders.  They are coming in search of jobs.  They are not coming in armed with the purpose of invading and taking over the U.S. militarily.\n\nThe Chinese were faced with an entirely different situation.  The tribes mentioned above were trying to enter China for the purpose of invading the country militarily and taking it over.  They were not coming in search of jobs.

The Mexican Cession is a historical name for the region of the present day southwestern United States that was ceded to the U.S. by Mexico in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the Mexican-American War. The cession of this territory from Mexico was a condition for the end of the war. For the 38 years between 1810, when Mexico declared its independence from Spain, and 1848, the region had formed approximately one-third of the territory of Mexico; prior to that, it had been a part – albeit a remote one, largely without European settlement – of the Spanish colony of New Spain for some three centuries.

Attached source should have all the information you need, including external links.  Hope this has helped.\n\nThe Mexican Revolution, sometimes called the Mexican Revolution of 1910, was a violent social and cultural movement, colored by socialist, nationalist, and anarchist tendencies. It began with the popular rejection of dictator Porfirio Díaz Mori in 1910 and continued even after the promulgation of a new constitution in 1917. Violence continued until the late 1920s, ending only when the Partido Nacional Revolucionario (which later became the Partido Revolucionario Institucional or "PRI") sealed its monopoly on political power in and after 1928. Even after that, the idea that the Revolution was "ongoing" was reinforced in party doctrine and national thought with its notional division into an "armed phase" and an "institutional phase". The "institutional phase" rhetoric began to disappear from official discourse only under President Carlos Salinas de Gortari in the late 1980s.\n\nThe Mexican Revolution was a violent social and cultural movement which brought the beginning of changes in Mexico. The changes in turn brought a sense of freedom to the citizens of its country. The revolution started because of the actions of the Mexican President Porfirio Díaz. His regime not only favoured the involvement of the United States in Mexican life, it was centered on expanding the Mexican economy. If successful, this would have eventually classified Mexico as a capitalist country but in the end would have harmed the peasant class which populated most of Mexico. The Diaz regime can be considered the main cause of the revolution but the governments who followed him can be seen as factors in the continuation of the revolution.

I'm sick of people defending the Mexican invasion by saying "are YOU a Native American?" \n\nThe natural progression/ regression/ aggression of the world is change of power and control. EXACTLY LIKE IN ROME, and in London (once Londinium) and the USSR, and in every other part of the world.\n\nThe Native Americans were not a strong enough, unified force. They could not stop Europeans from taking over their lands. So it was forfeited. That is what happens in the world, that's what has happened ALL throughout history.\n\nNow, the Mexican invasion will more than likely change power and control of this country. Except for this time, we are not weak and ununified. We are just afraid of stepping on toes, and being called inhumane, or racist. We have the ability to fix this problem (we have for many years) but we CHOOSE not to. We'll probably be the first country EVER whose government allowed themselves to be taken over by another country without putting up a fight.

We had a chance at annexing Mexico once, but the issue at the time was slavery and the Northern Free States were afraid of being superceded by the Southern Slave States in the Congress. So, we left the country alone and only took the land we believe we were entitled to, which was the South West including California. To take over Mexico now would be a very bad idea. Best to settle our own affairs and help Mexico in a better fashion.

Let's get clear some points:\n1) Mexico declare the war of independence from Spain on september 15th, 1810. Won its independence (from Spain) on september 21st, 1821.\n\n2) Mexican forces fought against the invader troops of France and won the Battle of Puebla, on May 5th, 1862. That date is celebrated since then, and nowadays it's when the mexican men, during the military service, make an oath of allegiance to the flag and country, gaining citizenship. \n\n3) Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg was overthrow and killed on 1867.

The only trade I know about is land trade...he was president of Mexico, then dictator.  Led the battle against Texas for Texas independence.  Remember the alamo?  he briefly went to school, but I don't know where.
