What triggered the 1982 economic crisis that crippled Mexico for the rest of that decade?

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.

What turned a disagreement into a war or armed conflict for the Mexican Border War?

The actual location of the US-Mexico border qualifies as such. At the time, the Mexican government believed the US border to be at the Nueces River, while the Americans thought it was the Rio Grande River.

What is Guacamole?

According to prehispanic history, Lord Quetzalcoatl gave the recipe of ahuacamolli to the Toltec people (900-1100 AD) and from there, it spread to the rest of Mesoamerica, becoming a common dish to cultures such as Aztec or Maya.

The original guacamole recipe consists of mashed avocados, some minced onion and salt. It has evolved to mashed avocado with onions, chili peppers, olive oil, and other seasonings. It is used as a side dish for dipping with chips, or as a dressing on tacos.

If you don't add too much salt, it should be a healthy food, as avocado and onion together help lowering your bad cholesterol levels, and combined they have some anti-bacterial properties.

And it's good in my opinion!

However, you MUST NOT give any guacamole to your pets, specially cats, dogs [1], cattle, goats, rabbits, rats, birds, fish, and horses, as avocados are deadly toxic to them.

Who was the best soccer player in Mexico?

I think the best soccer player for the Mexican soccer team is Giovani Dos Santos. He only wears the number ten shirt. Chicharito is real bad even though he might be in Manchester UTD. the goals he scores are goals where he is left 1-on-1 with the goalkeeper. The last game he has played with the national team against Bosnia Herzogovina he missed a penalty (which he hasen't ever scored one) and then he was going to kick it at goal but the defense from the other team kicked the ball in accidentaly and scored an own goal. Chicharito never touched that ball after getting his penalty blocked, again, so he isn't supposed to play on the starting line up pr be on the bench with Manchester UTD. Giovani on the other hand is a great soccer player and got second best young soccer player in the world cup and he didnt score a goal which is actually not that bad since he isn't a ball hog and he is good for assisting. He has played in FC Barcelona as a kid at age 17 and he has scored amazing goals with them. Now in the teams he is in he doesn't get many chances because they don't think he is a goal scorer, but he never played in the Mexican 1st division like Chicharito and Chicharito was better off in FMF than being on Manchester UTD and if Giovani Dos Santos does ever play in the FMF primera division he will scoreabout 2 goals for regular matches, 3 or 4 goals in easy matches, and in difficult matches about .5 or 1 goal per game. Well it all depends who he plays for, he'll never go to Chivas de Guadalajara because his father played for Club America, he'll go to maybe Club America, Monterrey, CD Cruz Azul, or maybe Pumas de U.N.A.M. If he does switch over to FMF i wishes he goes with Monarcas Morelia help them alot after the dumb decision Tómas Boy made by selling Hugo Drougett, and if he does go therehe should just know that he would be the best soccer player they have.
