History of Mexico

Well it has been awhile since my last blog update. This week I am going to catch everyone up on the history of Mexico and the reason it is one of the largest populated areas in the world. In the early beginning of Mexico's ancient history came from the Olmecs. They worshiped a jaguard God, and built many cities. There are a lot of other little groups that followed the Olmecs, some are the Maya's, Aztec's, Teotihuacan's and many more.The start of it all came from Cortes conquering Mexico and founded the biggest Spanish colony that lasted for 300 years. The Independence from Spain was received on September 16, 1810, which is now considered a holiday for all Mexicans called "Dia de la Independencia". During the time that Mexico was experimenting with a democracy run government, it was interrupted with the invasion of the French. What triggered this invasion was the disagreement of the present monarchy based governemnt who was the Austrian emperor. In 1867 he was overthrown and executed. The PRI (the Partido Revolucionario Institutuional ) was a single political party in 1928. These PRi canidates are hand picked by the president. The first non PRI canidate was in 1997 and he was elected as mayor.
As for the overpopulation of Mexico, there are many effects to it. This could impose social, pollution, and economic problems. One of the effects is, unemployment. As a result of this some will not be able to support their own families. As for the economic problem, some effects are the shortages of public services. Shortages of water and food will cause starvation of many Mexicans. There also isn't enough teachers or schools for children. Also hospitals which keep people safe and healthy. Pollution is a huge problem in the country of Mexico, the overpopulated country causes much traffic from public transoprts and cars. As a result pollution can cause diseases which have a chance of not being cured because of the shortages of public services, which include hospitals.
