Originally, Mexico was a colony of Spain, but fought and won its independence in 1821. Between 1864 and 1867, Mexico was invaded by French forces, who at the time installed "Emperor Maximilian I", making of Mexico a French protectorate. Later, liberal forces led by Benito Juarez overthrew Maximilian and Mexico became independent once more. Since then, Mexico hasn't been "colonized" by another country.
