Before contact with Europeans, Mexico was home to several Native American civilizations, including the Aztecs and Mayans. With the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, most local culture and traditions were destroyed, being replaced with Spanish traditions such as language and religion; other traits were the results of merging cultural traditions -- such as Day of the Dead.
Nowadays, Mexico is a mix of three cultures: Spanish, Native American -- especially Aztec and Mayan -- and "Mexican Culture", which is the result of 200 years of Mexican independence.
