History of Mexico
From the time of Hernando Cortez's conquest until1821, Mexico was a colony of Spain. Cortez first entered the Valley of Mexico on the Mesa Central in 1519 after marching overland from Veracruz, the town he had founded on the Gulf Coastal Plain. The Spanish usurped the Indian lands and redistributed them among themselves, first as tribute grants, and later as land grants. During the early contact with Indians, millions died from such European diseases as measles and smallpox, against which the natives had no immunity. Central Mexico did not regain its pre-Columbian population numbers until perhaps 1900.
Economy of Mexico
Mexico is both one of the world's largest economies and a regional power. It has the thirteenth- largest nominal GDP and the eleventh-largest by purchasing power parity. According to Goldman Sachs, by 2050 Mexico will be the 5th largest economy in the world. World over, Mexico is the twenty-third highest spender on tourism, and the highest in Latin America. The vast majority of tourists come to Mexico from the United States and Canada. Many other visitors come from Europe and Asia. In 2018 it was the 7th most visited country in the World with 49.6 million international arrivals.
