Right. It was baptized as Mexico-Tenochtitlan and was founded on March 13, 1325.

When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

Due to the extremely low population for such territorial extension (estimated at 12 million during 1824), Mexico relaxed its immigration policies, thus allowing American settlers to help populate the northern territories. The conditions to settle were simple: 1) to pledge allegiance to Mexico and 2) observe the Mexican Law and customs.

Miguel Hidalgo was the first man to fight for Mexico's independence. He fought for 2 years then was captured and decapitated. The second man to fight was Jose. He fought for 4 years and then died.

He originally was on the side of Spain who was fighting against Mexico at the time but suddnely thought "Hey, if I win these guys independence I can be their emporer."

The City of Puebla (some 60 miles SE of Mexico City) is the background of one of the most important battles of all time. On the 5th of May, 1862 the French Army (the world's best at the time, armed with cavalry and high-precision rifles) lost to Mexican militias composed mostly of huarache-wearing, machete-bearing indians. That is why many Mexicans celebrate the all-too-famous "Cinco de Mayo" (May the Fifth): because it is comparable to a bunch of militiamen defeating the US army on an open field battle.

Mexican passports can only be acquired legally by people who are Mexican citizens. If the person who left the US to go to Mexico was already a Mexican citizen, he need only go to the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores website (in the Related Links below) to have the necessary meeting to acquire his passport.

The Yucatan Peninsula, located on southeastern Mexico, is a triangular peninsula that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. With a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw), it is mostly a flat land composed of limestone. Due to this nature, there are almost no surface rivers in the peninsula and most water comes from holes in the ground known as cenotes. It is a place known for being home of the ancient Mayan civilization, with beautifull remains of cities such as Chichen Itza and Tulum; however many of these ruins are covered by the thick vegetation that characterizes the region. It is also believed that the Chicxulub crater, covering almost half of the peninsula, is the site of the crater impact that killed the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. There are three federal states on this peninsula: Campeche (capital: Campeche), Yucatan (capital Merida) and Quintana Roo (capital Chetumal). Some of the most important cities include Campeche (791,322), Merida (734,153) and Cancun (526,701).

Lake Moon is what Aztecs called the Texcoco lake, where they found their capital city.

There are no direct flights from Moncton to Cancun, as most flights going to Mexico from eastern Canada depart at Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto.
