In 1540, Mexico was declared to be New Spain. With a diverse culture, and great
natural resources, it should have prospered like its northern neighbor. But Mexico's history
includes political corruption, war, revolution, and grinding poverty. Why has the fate of Mexico
been so different than that of The United States?
The World's Political Hot Spots series explains the basis of conflicts in some of the world's most
politically sensitive areas. Many of these regions are in today's headlines, and tensions recently
have become violent in virtually all of them. Each presentation covers up to ten centuries of
background, revealing how and why today's problems occur.
