In 1916, Francisco Villa, leader of the peasant uprisings in northern Mexico, raided Columbus, New Mexico, in an attempt to expose Mexican government collaboration with the United States. President Woodrow Wilson responded by ordering an invasion of Mexico. Five years after the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, which was characterized by hope for social change as well as death, hunger, and violence, many Mexicans did not welcome further involvement by the U.S. In the following correspondence, Secretary of State Robert Lansing and President Wilson described the need to carefully frame the invasion as a defense of U.S. borders rather than interference in the Mexican Revolution. The resulting invasion, led by General John Pershing, was a total fiasco. It failed to locate Villa and increased anti-U.S. sentiment and Mexican nationalist resolve. \n\n\n\nGo here for more information \n\nhttp://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/4947/

The spaniards colonized Mexico and its indigenous peoples starting in the 13 - 1400's.  They slaughtered a great many natives which established their political and cultural dominance.  Since Catholicism was their primary religion and they were devout.. the religious influence spread throughout the land and into what is now Mexican heritage.

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.

That tradition got started when Mexico became an independent country. The sisters in the convent in Puebla were going to receive the new emperor, agustin de Iturbide, and decided to suprise him with a new dish, that had the colors of the new flag: The chiles en Nogada. \n\nFrom that time on, is customary for the presidents to eat this dish.

I don´t know very much about the election, but for I have heard I think Mexicans have to choose Felipe Calderon. He is of the same political party that Vicente Fox, and I think that if they choose him, Mexico will keep the same economical and social way, and that´s good.\n\nAndres Manuel Lopez Obrador, is a nacionalist man, and I think he will stop the social and economical refroms in Mexico, and it would be bad for Mexicans. He is like Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero in Spain.

I suggest reading Everyday Life and Politics in Nineteenth Century Mexico: Men, Women, and War by Mark Wasserman (2000).  You will find the answers you need in there.  \nAlso, check out this website: http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/travel/dpalfrey/dpcolonial2.html

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.

The Olmecs\nMéxico's first-established culture,had far-reaching influence.\nTeotihuacans\nThis city-state of Teotihuacán located on the central highland of México covered an area of 22.5 sq. km. and its population reached 200,000 inhabitants by the year 350 AD (probably the largest city in the world at the time).\nThe Toltecs\nThe Toltecs occupied the northern regions of the Valley of México. They built Tula, one of México's most impressive ancient cities. They strongly influenced later Mayan and Aztec cultures.\nThe Mayans\nTheir achievements are noteworthy, they controlled a huge empire, created complex systems of mathematics and astrology and were also skills traders. They were master architects and engineers.\nThe Zapotec and Mixtec\nThe Zapotec and Mixtec cultures developed in the Valley of Oaxaca. They were superlative builders and artists; they created magnificent temples, pottery, and metal work. Remarkably, these two ancient cultures still survive today. Descendants of both ancient Zapotecs and Mixtecs inhabit today the State of Oaxaca.\nThe Aztecs\nThe Aztecs are probably the most well-known of all México's ancient cultures. The Aztec empire was composed of three Nahua's groups established in the Valley of Mexico with Tenochtitlán (presently Mexico City) as the main city-state. Their empire was huge when Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1519; by 1521 they were conquered by the troops of Hernán Cortés.\nDuring the colonial period, México was called "New Spain", and it covered three centuries of its history: from the 13th of August of 1521, the date of the conquest of Tenochtitlán by the Spanish, until 1821 when the Independence movement was consummated.\nThe Modern period began with the War of Independence (1810-1821). The priest Miguel Hidalgo initiated a revolt against the Spanish rule on the 16th of September, 1810. This date is México's National Day.\nIn 1862 the French Emperor Napoleon III intervened militarily in México: an empire was established from 1864 to 1867, under the Austrian prince Maximilian of Hapsburg.\nOn the 5th of May 1862, General Ignacio Zaragoza, named Major General of the Army by the government of Juárez, obtained victory in the Battle of Puebla against the French.\nIn 1867 Benito Juárez re-established the Republic, and while in power died in 1872.\nHope this helps as you can see there were way more than 2 cultures that blended to create modern Mexico.

It's the date noted that Mexico declared it's independence from Spain... which technically occurred on September 15, 1810 but took the Mexican soldiers another 11 years to kick out the Spanish, French and English troops occupying Mexico.\n\nInterestingly enough, the major force of opposition was actually the French with the English and Spaniards quickly making deals and leaving.

He is the first and only Indigenous to become a Mexican President.  See mural done by the great Francisco Castro Pacheco of Benito Juarez.  (The word "Indian" is an insult and should never be used especially in Mexico).
