Spain,New Mexico,and new Spain
The colonial Mexico of Spain was known as New Spain or the Viceroyalty of New Spain. The colony was ruled by the Spanish King and he appointed a viceroy, or very high minister, to assist in the running of the colony.
The real question is this, "Was Mexico New Spain"? But YES. Yes indeed. It began with the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in central Mexico (the Valley of Mexico in central Mexico) in 1521. Meanwhile, Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan arrived into the Philippines in Asia and claimed the Philippines for Spain. In 1543, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos had named the Philippines "Las Islas Filipinas" (The Philippine Islands in Spanish) in honor of Philip II of Spain. Philip II was the KING of Spain and Portugal, but was originally born in Spain. And so, the Philippines was named after Philip II of Spain. Spanish colonization began in the Philippines when Spanish explorer, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi arrived in the Philippines from Mexico (New Spain) in 1565. From 1565 to 1821, the Philippines was a territory of New Spain, which IS NOW Mexico because when the Spanish conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico, the Spanish had claimed the Aztec Empire as "NEW SPAIN". So Mexico became New Spain. Also, New Spain, including the Philippines in Asia, was governed by the Spanish from Mexico City (formerly Tenochtitlan). Mexico City was the capital of New Spain. Mexico City is also the capital, largest city, and federal district of Mexico.
Basically New Spain became Mexico.
