Cultura: México
Mexico has a long and rich history. It was home to great civilizations like the Maya and the Aztecs. These cultures built amazing cities, pyramids, and temples. They created calendars, number systems, and art that we still admire today. It was a colony of Spain for over 300 years. However, Mexico had a great influence on the world historically. For example, the tomato “tomatl” in Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs), ‘tomate’ in Spanish, was brought to Europe from Mexico. Just think of how the tomato has influenced Spanish and Italian cuisine. Since Mexico was so far away from Spain, it developed its own culture with a mix of Indigenous and Spanish traditions. Even the name Mexico is derived from ‘Mexihco’ (pronounced Meh-she-co), which was the name the Aztecs gave the capital city of their empire. In 1810, Mexico began its fight for independence after the speech called ‘El Grito de Dolores’ (“The Cry of Dolores”) calling the people to fight for freedom. In 1821, Mexico gained its independence from Spain and its territory encompassed all of the modern Mexican states as we know today as well as California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas and parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Oklahoma. However, in 1848, Mexico lost half of its territory to the United States in the Mexican American War. So, in many cases, the border crossed many Mexican Natives which is why the Southwest of the United States has so much Mexican influence.
Today, Mexico is an important country in the world as one of the largest economies in Latin America and the world. Mexico trades with many countries and is known for its products like cars, food, and oil. The country is also famous for its beautiful cities like Oaxaca, Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende. Mexico is also known for its beaches like Puerto Escondido, Playa del Carmen and Cancún. There are very famous historical sites in Mexico such as Chichén Itzá, Teotihuacán, and Palenque. Along with the beautiful cities and beaches and the historical sites, the Cenotes (natural freshwater sinkholes) in Mexico, such as el Gran Cenote in Tulum and el Cenote Suytun in Valladolid bring many tourists each year. Mexico is an important part of global organizations such as the United Nations and the G20.
Mexico’s culture has a big influence all around the world. People everywhere enjoy Mexican food, music and holidays. Celebrations like Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and Cinco de Mayo are known and celebrated internationally. Artists such as Frida Kahlo, writers such as Octavio Paz and Laura Esquivel and filmmakers such as Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón, who are all from Mexico, have received world recognition. By learning about Mexico, it is easier to understand the Spanish language and the diversity of the Spanish-speaking world.
