Mexico
In the early 16th century, Mexico was conquered and
colonized by Spain. Mexico was
administered as the Viceroyalty of
New Spain for three centuries until
it achieved independence early in
the 19th century. It is located in
North America, bordering the
Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of
Mexico. The people also celebrate
the Day of the Dead which is national. In Mexico, there are
official 68 languages and Chichen Itza is one of the Seven
Wonders of the World. Mexico is the
world’s largest Spanish-speaking country
and home to the world’s smallest volcano.
