Mexico was and is an original country in North America. This is in modern times, when the political subdivision of a continent is a country. Parts of Mexico, as defined by Spanish conquest are now parts of the United States. New Mexico was once part of Mexico, as was Arizona and California. Mexico itself, is not a part of the United States, but parts of the United States were once Mexico.

What country did az belong to before it became part of the us?

Before Arizona became a part of the United States, it was primarily part of Mexico. Following the Mexican-American War and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, Mexico ceded a significant portion of its territory, including present-day Arizona, to the U.S. Additionally, the Gadsden Purchase in 1853 further defined Arizona's borders. Arizona eventually became a U.S. state on February 14, 1912.
