and all those areas were part of Spain only 25 or so years before that
I will like to point out that in the case of California it was only a part of Mexico for 26 years whereas it has been a US state for 175 years and before Mexico it was a part of Spain for 52 years. I don’t like the claim that Mexicans should rightfully own California because they owned it first, they did not. Or that all Mexicans are native to California. Most, the vast majority of Mexicans came from elsewhere in Mexico well after California had been a state. Every US including California when it was a part of Mexico were very sparsely populated. It would be like saying someone from Florida or Idaho is a native Californian because they are in the same country. That is not how it works.
Now do the map of territory Mexico lost on the southern border that includes Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, and El Salvador.
Part of Mexico… for like 20 something years lol. Before that Spain.
Then the Mexican government was reckless, allowed governors to be corrupt and abuse their power so much so that it literally spawned the Legend of El Zorro who sought to fight them. (Yes he’s a real figure- so cool!)
By the time America took it from Mexico the locals were basically indifferent, had no clue, and some even were alright with it.
Spain really hardly ruled very few parts of this vast region. A few missions and forts. Able to secure footholds and control individual sites but not territories.Tribes controlled the territories. But look at Utah on that map.
Those places still have better tacos even to this day
Gottem
I was surprised to learn Mexico only controlled that region from roughly 1821-1848 following independence from Spain until conclusion of Mexican-American war
Do people think that if Mexico owned Texas and California they’d be the same or similar as they are today (only Spanish speaking)?
Very generous to call it part of Mexico. They were as much Mexico as a completely random untouched forest in Alaska is America.
No Spain not Mexico learn history
Impressive
Now do counties that used to be part of Louisiana
