Mexico

Well honey, Hudson Bay is bigger in size compared to the Gulf of Mexico. Hudson Bay covers an area of approximately 1.23 million square kilometers, while the Gulf of Mexico is around 1.5 million square kilometers. So, in this case, size does matter, and Hudson Bay takes the crown.

A fairly important part of Mexico's history has been shaped by the natural resources it has. It was first invaded by Spanish forces in 1519 due to its rich deposits of gold and silver, destroying the Aztec and Mayan civilizations in the process. During colonial times (1521 - 1821) it became the most successful overseas colony of the Spanish Empire due to its mineral deposits as well as its fertile soil and extensive ranching lands. During most of the 19th century it was invaded by foreign powers (United States, France) due to these same resources; in fact the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848) was mainly the result of the forced acquisition of California and its riches pushed by James K. Polk's presidency.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, Mexico has become a large exporter of oil, becoming part of the struggle between the world powers of the time. One example is the Zimmerman Telegram, sent by the German ambassador in Mexico in 1914 which promised support to re-acquire some of Mexico's lost territories in exchange of attacking the United States. This telegram was intercepted by British intelligence and prompted the US to enter WWI.

During the later half of the 20th century these extensive natural resources have helped in the industrialization of the country. No longer a raw materials exporter, Mexico is now a large manufacturing power, exporting more goods and services than the rest of Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile) combined.

At the time, parity was 1 dollar = 23.83 pesos; exchange would be USD 4,196.39

Note this spike in prices happened due to the Mexican Revolution, as several banks were raided by "revolutionaries". During the next year (1917), parity returned back to "nominal levels" (i.e.: 1 dollar = 1.91 pesos).

It depends. There are 'tourist hats' sold at local markets and handcraft stalls for less than 50 pesos US$4.50 but there are professional-made sombreros than can cost up to 5000 pesos (US$455).

Well, when Hernan Cortes traveled to Mexico in the early 16th century, he used ships to cross the vast ocean. It must have been quite an adventure sailing across the waters, feeling the wind in his sails and the salty sea spray on his face. Just imagine the excitement and anticipation he must have felt as he approached the shores of the new world.

Well, friend, dingoes are actually native to Australia, not Mexico. They are wild dogs that have been there for a long time. If you're ever in Mexico, you might come across some other interesting animals like jaguars or iguanas!

Most fruit grown in Mexico is exported to the United States, Europe and Japan markets during the winter season.

No Mexican city is near Florida. Mexico is on the Gulf of Mexico and on the Gulf you will find New Orleans, and Corpus Cristi Texas as the nearest to Mexico. Florida is closest to Havana Cuba.

If you use the population of the metropolitan area as your metric, New York City is larger.

The exact amount of trash produced in Mexico daily can vary, but on average, Mexico generates around 100,000 tons of waste per day. This waste includes household garbage, industrial waste, and commercial trash. The country faces challenges in managing this volume of waste effectively, leading to issues such as environmental pollution and strain on waste management infrastructure.

During his explorations, Alexander Von Humboldt (1769-1859) called Mexico the "storehouse of the world" due to its vast natural wealth and economic opportunities.

At the time of Humboldt's visit into Mexico (1803-1804), it was considered one the wealthiest nations in the world: it was the 10th largest economy , just one spot below the United States and providing 40% of the Spanish Empire's wealth.

Generally you would be traveling south and a little bit east.

A direct flight from Amsterdam to Mexico City typically takes around 11 to 12 hours. The distance between the two cities is about 5,700 miles (9,200 kilometers). Flight times may vary slightly based on factors like weather, airline, and air traffic, but non-stop flights are the quickest way to travel this route.

The Tropic of Capricorn is at about 23.5 degrees south latitude. Mexico City is well north of that.

Oh, what a wonderful question! In Mexico, you'll find many beautiful nonliving things like ancient pyramids, colorful traditional textiles, vibrant murals, and stunning architecture. Each of these things carries a story and history that adds to the rich tapestry of Mexico's culture. Just imagine the joy and inspiration these nonliving treasures bring to all who see them!

Well, honey, Mexico is sandwiched between the Gulf of Mexico on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. So, if you ever find yourself lost and surrounded by water in Mexico, just remember you're either on the east side or the west side. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Well, unless you've got a flying car stashed away somewhere, you're looking at a solid couple of days of non-stop driving to get from the UK to Mexico. And that's without factoring in bathroom breaks, food stops, and sleep (unless you're a robot). So, unless you're up for a road trip of a lifetime, I'd say it's probably better to catch a flight instead.

Oh, dude, that would be Indonesia. Like, it's not just one island, it's a whole bunch of islands making up a country. So, technically, it's like the largest island country east of Mexico. Cool, right?

Oh, dude, you're asking about the value of a 20,000 peso note from the Banco de Mexico in the US? Well, technically speaking, the exchange rate fluctuates, so it's like trying to predict the weather in a different country. You'd have to check with a currency exchange to get the most accurate answer. But hey, if you're looking to make it rain with Mexican pesos in the US, good luck with that!

Mexico City is the capital of Mexico, no surprise there. And to answer your question, Mexico City is located north of the Tropic of Cancer. So, if you were planning on chasing the sun, you might want to head a bit further south.

Two reasons: bad prenatal care and a substandard diet. This is more apparent in the southern states, which are the poorest in Mexico. Also many Mexican immigrants into the US follow these patterns, as most of them come from such states (Oaxaca, Michoacan, Guerrero, Chiapas).
