History of Mexico
Mexico has a lot of history that has made it what it is. Mexico used to have one major power that controlled all of the land, Aztecs. They had a strong mighty empire. When the Spanish conquistadors came they were defeated. After a long time they are now a civilized country. Mexico City is built over the ruins of Aztec city, Tenochtitlán. Because it is built on a lake, Mexico is sinking at a rate of 6 to 8 inches a year as pumps draw water out for the city’s population! It must feel like a boat all the time. At the time there are many movements going on. One of them is the Zapatistas in Mexico. They do not like N.A.F.T.A and its rules. With N.A.F.T.A they do not get as much money. Therefore the Zapatistas are using guerrilla warfare to make a statement. They use car bombs and random shootings. Maybe they are secret guerillas. Mexico definitely has a lot of history to follow. We may never know maybe Mexico will be taken over by the Zapatistas. Who knows?
