For the next forty years, and even during the Great Depression, Mexico's economy continued to grow at an unprecedented rate. During the presidency of Lazaro Cardenas, elected for the first time for a six-year term, certain popular reforms were introduced: land was distributed to poor peasants and the railway and oil industry were nationalized. The period of rapid economic growth continued after World War II.
In the mid-1960s, the IRP-led government brutally suppressed public protests for civil rights and freedoms. During the so-called "massacre in Tlatelolco" in 1968, 250 Protestants were killed by law enforcement agencies. At the same time, the government resumed controversy in the country over re-privatization and greater openness of the Mexican economy. The period of economic growth changed to a period of uncertainty and political discontent. In the 1970s and 1980s, the country devalued its national currency, the peso, and inflation rose sharply, leading to a default on the country's foreign debt in 1982. The difficult economic situation affected the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, which first in 1997. lost its majority in the country's Congress and then lost power in the 2000 presidential election. For the first time in 71 years, Vicente Fox, a candidate from the opposition National Action Party (PND), has become president.

The years of Porfirio Diaz's presidency (1876-1910) marked an era of unprecedented economic growth and stability. However, his arbitrariness, lawlessness, confiscation, and brutal methods of suppressing the opposition led to the 1910 Mexican Revolution. At the head of the revolution was Francisco Madero, and after his assassination in 1913, a civil war broke out, which marked such national heroes as Francisco Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata. Only the adoption of the country's constitution in 1917 somewhat calmed the revolutionary mood. The presidencies of the next three presidents were accompanied by violence and the assassination of two of them. Some stability was achieved only during the presidency of Plutarco Elias Cayes, who in 1929 founded the National Revolutionary Party. This party later changed its name to the Institutional Revolutionary Party (IRP) and remained in power until 2000.

Dissatisfaction with Santa Anna's policies led to the revolution, its elimination and the subsequent three-year war between liberals and conservatives. On February 5, 1857, Benito Juarez became the first president of Mexico of Indian descent. In 1860, France declared war on Mexico and landed troops in an attempt to establish the Austrian Duke Ferdinand Maximilian on the throne of the Second Mexican Empire. The French were defeated and the republic led by Benito Juarez was restored in 1867.

In 1824, Mexico became a republic, and Guadalupe Victoria was elected its first president. The Republic of Mexico had a rather weak central government, and various dictators, such as Santa Anna, took advantage of this. Santa Anna became the country's dictator and repealed the republic's previous constitution in 1835. This exacerbated tensions with American settlers in Texas and the subsequent declaration of independence by Texas in 1836 and its annexation by the United States in 1841. This in turn exacerbated tensions with the United States and before the Mexican-American War, in which Mexico suffered a crushing defeat and lost a third of its territory.

The arrival of the Spaniards led to the destruction of the Aztec Empire, not least because of the epidemic of cocolysis, which led to the death of 22-25 million Aztecs during the XVI century.
Destroying the Aztec civilization, the Spaniards called this territory New Spain. The colonial period of Mexico lasted until 1810, when on September 16 of that year Miguel Hidalgo declared the independence of Mexico from Spain. In fact, independence was achieved after a long war in 1821, when the First Mexican Empire was proclaimed. The head of state was Emperor Agustin de Iturbide.

Mēxihco is the term of the Nahuatl language for the heart of the Aztec Empire, namely the valleys of Mexico City and the surrounding areas, whose population is called Mexico. The terms are clearly related; it is generally believed that the toponym for the valley became the primary ethnonym for the Aztec union, but it could be the other way around. In the colonial era, Mexico was called New Spain. After the colony gained independence from the Spanish Empire in 1821, the territory became known as Mexico State, and the new country was renamed its capital: Mexico City, which was founded in 1524 on the site of Mexico's ancient capital, Tenochtitlan.

Mexico is a developing country and ranks 76th in the human development index, but a number of analyzes consider it a new industrial country [13] [14] [15] [16]. The country has the 15th largest economy in the world in terms of nominal GDP and the 11th largest in terms of GDP, the largest economic partner of which is the United States [17] [18]. The large economy, territory, population and politics make Mexico a regional power. However, Mexico continues to fight social inequality, poverty and large-scale crime; the country ranks low in the global peace index [19]. Since 2006, conflict between the government and drug syndicates has killed more than 120,000 people.

The ineffective Texas War of Independence of 1836 and the Mexican-American War resulted in massive territorial losses in sparsely populated northern Mexico. Post-war reforms that protected indigenous peoples and reduced the power of the military and the church were enshrined in the 1857 Constitution. This led to a war for reform and French military intervention. Maximilian I of Habsburg was appointed emperor of Mexico by France, and Benito Juarez opposed the republican government in exile. The following decades were marked by the instability and dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, who sought to modernize Mexico and restore order. Porphyry culminated in the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and the victory of the Constitutionalist faction that drafted the new 1917 Constitution.
