About 9,000 years ago, ancient times
Mexican
Domesticate corn and push
Agricultural revolution
Which led to the formation of many civilizations. These civilizations developed into cities, architecture, astronomical research, mathematics, and
troops
. Famous civilizations like the Olmec, Theotihuacan, Aztecs, and Mayans.
1. Olmec civilization
The Olmec civilization is the oldest known civilization in the Americas. It existed from about 1200 to 400 BC in what is now south-central Mexico
Tropical rainforest
It is famous for its large head statue. The Olmec civilization originated in the tropical jungles of the SAN Lorenzo Highlands in Central America around 1200 BC. SAN Lorenzo was the center of the early Olmec civilization, which flourished for about 300 years before being violently destroyed around 900 BC. The center of the Olmec civilization moved to La Venta, near the Gulf of Mexico. The Olmec civilization eventually disappeared around 400 BC and was replaced by the Ibiolmec culture. The exact cause of its disappearance is unknown, but it affected a large number of Mesoamerican civilizations. Many features of Olmec civilization, such as
pyramid
And palace building, jade carving,
jaguar
and
Quetzalcoatlus
Worship was also a common element of later Mesoamerican civilizations. Most scholars agree that the Olmec civilization was
Maya
The mother body of civilizations such as Zapotec and Theotihuacan. Others, however, consider the relationship between the Olmec and other Mesoamerican civilizations to be sisterly.
2. Teotihuacan Civilization
The Teotihuacan civilization began around 200 B.C., in what is now central Mexico. It was an ancient Indian civilization that emerged after the fall of the Olmec civilization and about the same time as the Maya civilization. The Teotihuacan built a city of about 50,000 people between A.D. 1 and 150. It is one of the earliest city-level settlements to exist in the whole of the Americas, building many pyramids. However, unlike other ancient Indian civilizations, the origin of the Teotihuacan people is still a mystery, and no one has been able to prove that the civilization had written and left records. The reason why we know the existence of this civilization today is that in addition to the huge relics they left behind for analysis and proof, some other neighboring civilizations at the same time mentioned things about Teotihuacan in books or paintings, which is another key reference. The Teotihuacan people do not call themselves by this name, but it is the name given to the successor civilization that existed in the region after its demise
The Toltecs
Their language, Nahuatl (an indigenous Indian language spoken in central Mexico), refers to their predecessors, meaning "where the gods made man." Although in the Toltecs and beyond
The Aztecs
The ancient civilization has long since disappeared, but they still regard the ancient city where the Teotihuacan people once lived as a holy place, hence the name.
In 1519, the Spanish invaded Mexico, and in 1521, the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan was conquered by the Tlaxcalteca, the main enemy of Spain and the Aztecs. However, the Spanish did not completely conquer the Aztecs, but did not complete it until two centuries later, and there were two main reasons for the Spanish victory.
- 1.
The Aztecs Believing that constant human sacrifice is necessary for the universe to continue to function, many people are sacrificed every year, most of them prisoners of war. But in times of peace, the Azzeks resorted to a form of "ritual warfare" and had captured prisoners of war. That's why Tlascalteca was willing to join the Spanish army against the Azzeks.
- 2.
The Mexican War of Independence began in 1810, and the rebels did not enter Mexico City until 1821. The whole War of independence consisted of
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla
An uprising was launched on October 1, 1810, in an attempt to overthrow Spanish rule, but the plan for the September uprising was leaked by a traitor, so it began early on September 16 in the town of Dolores, and succeeded in establishing the First Republic.

As a result, Mexicans will now still hate Americans, and a new politician has emerged that they are rid of
Santa Anna
He took control of Mexico and established a free republic in 1857.
French puppet in Mexico: Maximilian I
Tejada was re-elected in 1876, defeating Diaz. In 1876, Diaz revolted against the government and announced plans to overthrow Tejada and establish himself as president. After Diaz overthrew the previous government, Tejada fled the country and Diaz became the new president. Thus began more than three decades of dictatorship (1876-1911), a period of relative prosperity and peace, with the country's infrastructure greatly improved, thanks to foreign investment.
In passing
Porfirio Diaz
After a long period of dictatorship,
Mexican revolution
It finally broke out in 1910. The revolutionary forces defeated the federal army, but fought among themselves, plunging Mexico into civil war for two decades. After the revolution,

In North America, golden eagles range from central Mexico along the Pacific coast to the Rocky Mountains and into northern Alaska and Newfoundland. There are also small numbers along the Appalachian Mountains as far south as North Carolina.
Because golden eagles are rare and endangered, the federal government has enacted laws to protect them. But in some areas, hunting is permitted because golden eagles attack sheep.
In Europe, golden eagles are raised in Norway, Scotland, Spain, the Alps, Italy and the Balkans. Golden eagles are also found in northern Africa. But the numbers are not as large as those found in the high latitudes of Siberia, Iran, Pakistan, southern China and Japan.
The eagle's nest is in a cave on a cliff, or in a lone tree. The eggs of the golden eagle are white and brown, and each litter produces about 1 to 4, generally 2. Male and female eagles take turns hatching, after 40 to 45 days, the young eagle can emerge from the shell, 3 months later began to grow feathers. Usually only one or two survive.
In 2023, Mexico's total population will be 130 million. Indo-european mestizos and Indians make up more than 90% of the population.
