Unlike the United States or Canada, Mexico is a country with thousands of years of history, predating the discovery of the Americas by Columbus. On it, several civilization rose and fell, including the Olmecs, Teotihuacans, Mayans and Aztecs. Then, after the conquest of Mexico by Spanish conquistadors in 1521 and its succesful war of independence in 1821, Mexico became the battleground (some would say victim) of many ideologies and interests, including European powers and the United States.
