Mexico People and History.
Mexico has a colorful and checkered past.
The Spanish finally occupied the Native American civilizations and
extended their control over the entire region, calling it New Spain.
The Spaniards quickly
intermarried with the indigenous people, producing a growing population
of mestizos, or people of mixed European and Native American ancestry.
At the end of the 19th century, mestizos had become the largest ethnic
group in the population.
When World War II ended, this saw the beginning of a period of
sustained industrial growth, Mexicans migrated rapidly from rural
communities to large urban centers.
People moved to the Federal District of Mexico, which includes the capital
of Mexico City and was home to approximately one-fifth of Mexico’s
citizens in 1997.
During this postwar period the relatively unpopulated
northern states also attracted numerous immigrants, as the economic base
of frontier cities such as Ciudad Juárez and Monterrey grew rapidly.
