Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of Mexico, then pay attention....

Before the modern country was born in 1821, the territory that today comprises 32 states and few small islands was inhabited by ancient dynasties and kingdoms of warriors, astronomers, priests, temples for human sacrifice, and, surprisingly, some of the largest cities in the world. It is estimated that the sacred city of Chichen Itza, in the Yucatan Peninsula, was larger than Paris at its height of splendor.

This fascinating journey through Mexico’s history, from its amazing pre-Hispanic past to the end of the 20th century, will reveal more surprises than the listener can imagine. In the words of the self-proclaimed Mexican singer Chavela Vargas, “Mexico has magic. I looked for that magic, and I found it there.”

In History of Mexico: A Captivating Guide to Mexican History, Starting from the Rise of Tenochtitlan through Maximilian's Empire to the Mexican Revolution and the Zapatista Indigenous Uprising, you will discover topics such as:

  • The era of empires
  • The Spanish-Aztec war and new Spain
  • The birth of a nation
  • “From the Halls of Montezuma....”
  • The big division
  • “The most beautiful empire in the world”
  • In the times of Don Porfirio
  • The Mexican Revolution
  • The Cristeros
  • The Second World War and the Mexican miracle
  • End of century pangs
  • And much, much more!

Interesting

This is interesting reading from Cortes' first-hand view and account before the fall of the Aztec Empire, to Aztec blood and worship practices, to land reform writings and the whole history of Mexico laid out in its important documents, letters and accounts according to the authors.

Liked It

The book contains writing by many voices over several centuries. By the time I finished it I felt I had a much better understanding of Mexican history.
