Mexico

Texas became state #28.

Mexico didn't classify, as it had a horrible season:

Mexico vs. Cuba: 4-0

Mexico vs. Haiti: 1-1

Mexico vs. El Salvador: 0-1

Mexico vs. Canada: 1-1

Mexico vs. Honduras: 0-0

At the end, Honduras and El Salvador classified and played on the '82 World Cup.

The practice that settlers brought to Texas that was illegal under Mexican law was slavery. Slavery was abolished in Mexico in 1812.

Texas won their independence at the Battle of San Jacinto.

James K. Polk (term: 1845-1849) qualifies as such.

A strip of United States territory along southern New Mexico and Arizona bought from Mexico in 1853. It is named for James Gadsden, ambassador to Mexico from 1853-56, who negotiated the treaty which included the terms of the purchase. The cost was $10,000,000 and also included the settlement of various claims by Mexico against the United States.

The Battle of Calderon Bridge is one major historical event in Mexico. This took place on January 17th, 1811. Also, The Battle of Celaya is another major event in Mexico which took place on April 6th, 1915.

Punishments by the Mayan civilization depended on the crime. Things such as murder, arson, incest, and rape were punished by death. Theft crimes required restitution, sometimes requiring the person to work as a slave. The lovers of women who committed adultery were stoned to death. Men who committed adultery were stoned to death if the woman they cheated with was also married.

For most of Mexico's developing history, a small minority of the people were in control of most of the country's power and wealth, while the majority of the population worked in poverty. As the rift between the poor and rich grew under the leadership of General Díaz, the political voice of the lower classes was also declining. Opposition of Díaz did surface, when Francisco I. Madero, educated in Europe and at the University of California, led a series of strikes throughout the country.Díaz was pressured into holding an election in 1910, in which Madero was able to gather a significant number of the votes. Although Díaz was at one time a strong supporter of the one-term limit, he seemed to have changed his mind and had Madero imprisoned, feeling that the people of Mexico just weren't ready for democracy. Once Madero was released from prison, he continued his battle against Díaz in an attempt to have him overthrown. During this time, several other Mexican folk heros began to emerge, including the well known Pancho Villa in the north, and the peasant Emiliano Zapata in the south, who were able to harass the Mexican army and wrest control of their respective regions. Díaz was unable to control the spread of the insurgence and resigned in May, 1911, with the signing of the Treaty of Ciudad Juárez, after which he fled to France. Madero was elected president, but received opposition from Emiliano Zapata who didn't wish to wait for the orderly implementation of Madero's desired land reforms. In November of the same year Zapata denounced Madero as president and took the position for himself. He controlled the state of Morelos, where he chased out the estate owners and divided their lands to the peasants. Later, in 1919, Zapata was assassinated by Jesus Guajardo acting under orders from General Pablo Gonzalez. It was during this time that the country broke into many different factions, and guerrilla units roamed across the country destroying and burning down many large haciendas and ranchos. Madero was later taken prisoner and executed and the entire country existed in a state of disorder for several years, while Pancho Villa rampaged through the north, and different factions fought for presidential control.Eventually, Venustiano Carranza rose to the presidency, and organized an important convention whose outcome was the Constitution of 1917, which is still in effect today. Carranza made land reform an important part of that constitution. This resulted in the ejido, or farm cooperative program that redistributed much of the country's land from the wealthy land holders to the peasants. The ejidos are still in place today and comprise nearly half of all the farmland in Mexico. Carranza was followed by others who would fight for political control, and who would eventually continue with the reforms, both in education and land distribution. During this period the PRI political party was established, which was the dominant political power for 71 years until Vicente Fox of the conservative PAN party was elected. The holiday itself commemorates the day, November 20th of 1910, when Madero denounced President Díaz, declared himself president of Mexico and called for a national insurrection.

No, Pershing's Punitive Expedition was a failure.

The Gadsden Purchase of 1853, was mainly designed to provide a good railroad route to California, to transport heavy items such as mining supplies. One eastern hub was thought to be New Orleans. Another hub could have been Charleston, South Carolina. Neither city was, as Omaha, Nebraska would be connected to Sacramento, California in 1869. The Gadsden Purchase was a waste of time and money.

It made Mexico and California both more Booming with population.

True. It wasn't until Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy (1930's) that Mexico finally ceased hostility towards the United States due to the Texas issue.

There were never any Incas in Mexico, as they were a people from South America.

The Aztecs were utterly destroyed, while several Mayan peoples still live in the southeastern states of Mexico, as well as Belize, Guatemala and el Salvador.

There were between 182 and 260 Alamo defenders. There were regular troops of the Army of the Republic of Texas under the command of Colonel Travis. There were Texian volunteers who were not present as members of the Texas Army who were loosely under the control of Jim Bowie. There were Americans (that is US Citizens) like Crockett's band of adventurers. There were slaves present who were defenders and had a loyalty not to Texas but to their owners.

There were no active duty American soldiers of the US Armed Forces present at the Alamo.

Further, it must be noted that the defenders were not all former US Citizens who had been transplanted to Texas. A large number of the Alamo defenders were Mexican by both birth and ethnicity (That is a Tejano or Texans of Mexican descent). That exact number remains an unknown, but based on surnames is between 20 and 25 percent.

1) the U.S. is not as good as people say it is 2) the U.S. is going down 3) immigrants only serve to make the U.S. weaker 4) the U.S. has MORE problems than any other country 5) our president reign is VERY bad 6) it is hard to survive as an immigrant 7) many more There is really only one disadvantage that I have seen with immigration and that is the language barrier. English is the offical language of America, but alot of immigrants don't speak English. Either because they can't or they won't. Either way it is a problem because if they work for you, how do you tell them what not to do, so they won't get hurt.

The U.S. fought with Britain and Mexico over the Oregon and Texas territories.

The U.S. gained Texas in a war with Mexico but did not gain Oregon through a war. Advocates of Manifest Destiny called for war with Great Britain under the slogan of "fifty-four forty or fight", a reference to the latitude they wanted the US to claim from England. Instead of going to war, the US negotiated with England and the border was established at the 49th parallel.

Enchiladas originated in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to Mayan times.[4] The people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate corn tortillas folded or rolled around small fish.

Hernan Cortes (Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano, previously known as Hernando Cortez) lived from 1485 to 1547.
In 1519, he disobeyed the Spanish governor of Cuba and traveled to Mexico. He captured the Aztec capital, but had to flee in 1520 after the death of Moctezuma. With reinforcements and the aid of rebel tribes, he finally established the Spanish colonial claim in 1521.
