Mexico foundation
Mexico is found on the continent of North American just south of the United States of America and northwest of Guatemala and Belize. Mexico officially called United Mexican States was once called New Spain from 1523 until it became independent of Spain in 1810 (Interactive Timeline, 2010). The new nation called itself the United Mexican States and its independence day is September 16. Mexico had an Emperor and his empire covered modern day California, Texas, Nevada, and Utah, most of Arizona and New Mexico, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado, and all of modern day Mexico (Infoplease, 2009).
