Mexico City Policy

hover over Mexico specifically when it refers to the economic woes the political system continues to mismanage. Politicians that simply run for office to help themselves, while screwing the Mexican over time and time again. It is a behavior that has been in place since the Spanish conquistadors took over, by introducing new policies that benefited the white European while physically, morally, economically, and culturally destroying all social progress for the indigenous Mexican. Mexico has…

first like to start to talk about, how the Aztecs religion came into their political philosophy. Starting off with the Aztecs, they had their hierarchy based on dynasty so who was next in line with the family would come into power. They would have city-states that would/could turn into empires. While all of this would happen they would focus on their religion, and have the gods pick what they should do. Each empire had a ruler and would elect its own leader.

eventually killed. leading to new control. Obviously this posed a significant issue to the US which then moved into Mexico, occupying the port of Veracruz and indirectly assisting Venustiano Carranza, the leader who best fit the US interests.
