Unlike the USA, the history of Mexico dates back to well within 1900 years or so. Discovery of Mexico was a coincidence. Again, the Spaniards were the first to discover Mexico too. French and the Spanish armies try to invade Mexico and neighboring parts of the north Americas. The Mexican revolution that followed the American Revolution brought in total peace and Mexico gained total liberty from the foreign imperialistic measures. Sooner broke out the war between the neighbors which did not last for longer. Terms and pacts brought in peace in the borders after mutual agreement made with the USA. Today Mexico is one of the competent nations of the world, with massive natural resources and technological growth and development in the 21st century.
