What is the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico?

Answer 1

The relationship between the United States and Mexico is is that of two sovereign nations that share a common border. Because the US has been more powerful militarily and economically than Mexico, it has sometimes been an unequal and uncomfortable relationship.

Answer 2

Mexico and the Philippines were once both colonies of Spain, hence Spanish and Roman Catholicism (Mexico: 88%, Philippines: 83%) are common among both countries. The Philippines colony was administered from New Spain (present-day Mexico), and there was a yearly trade route from Manila to Acapulco through the Pacific Ocean, known as the Manila-Acapulco Galleon which lasted for 250 years. This meant a consistent cultural exchange during that time.

Answer 3

Pretty much the same as the relationship between the US and England. Mexico used to be a colony of Spain (which is why Spanish is spoken in Mexico), but now they are an independent country.
