具体描述
Mexico is an ancient land with a long and fascinating past. Ever since the Aztecs fought their neighboring tribes for control of this rich region, Mexico's history has been filled with stories of courage and loyalty, violence and betrayal. The coming of the Europeans in the 16th century only brought new chapters of turbulence and upheaval. In "The History of Mexico" you will learn about Mexico's early native settlements; the conquest of Mexico by Spain, which led to years of Spanish rule; the 19th-century revolutions, which led to independence; and, the country's problems during the 20th century, as well as its hopes at the start of the 21st century. You can only understand a nation's present by looking at its past. Years of revolution and government corruption have taken their toll on Mexico-but it is also a land of great courage and rich heritage. The future is hopeful.
