State · Capital: Mexico City
Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a country in North America, the northernmost country in Latin America, with a population exceeding 134 million as of 2026; Mexico City is its capital and largest city. Spanish colonization began in 1521 with an indigenous alliance that defeated the Aztec Empire, establishing the colony of New Spain. The 1810-1821 Mexican War of Independence ended Spanish rule, and in 1848 Mexico lost nearly half its territory in the Mexican-American War. The 1910-1920 Mexican Revolution led to the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz and the adoption of the 1917 Constitution.
