When most of the world was deeply affected by the 1929 Great Depression, the Mexican Economic Miracle (1930-1970) was taking place, allowing some actions such as the nationalization of the oil industry (1938), the Mexican participation on WW2 on behalf of the Allies (1942-1945), and acting as host of the 1968 Summer Olympics.
Later on, when the 1973 Oil Crisis hit the developed world, Mexican Presidents Luis Echeverria and Jose Lopez Portillo began to rely heavily on oil exports to support the financial needs of the country, taking advantage of the high oil prices. When the market eventually stabilized, the little diversification of exports resulted in an economic slump and a devaluation of the Peso by 500%. This is often called the Lost Decade or Decada Perdida (1973-1982).
Three years later, the Mexico City Earthquake (1985) further deteriorated the Mexican economy, as Mexico City, which agglomerates 20-25% of the country's national income, was heavily hit by such natural disaster.
