Mexico did not inherit territory from Spain; Mexico simply took it from Spain. The Spanish General, Agosto Iturbide, switched sides and became the ruler of Mexico. Its southern border began at the line between Panama and Costa Rica. The northern border fell roughly along the borders of the following states of the United States: California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.
