Exactly, The color TV creator was Mexican, named Guillermo Gonzales Camarena. In fact, he didn’t sell his patients to other countries until he died and his family decided to sell it so that in 1968 it was officially installed in the rest of the world while in Mexico there was already color signal since 1930s
Not only Texas and California were part of Mexico, but also Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Nevada ;) But we lost most of them on the Mexican-American war, except for Texas, they claimed their independence from Mexico first.
Thank you for mentioning my home state of Arizona both my grandfather's were born Arizona when it was still a state and I'm pretty sure my great grandfather's were still living in Arizona before it became a state.
In 1940, Guillermo Gonzales Camarena, a brilliant 17 year old Mexican inventor, was the first person to invent a mechanical color TV system with a spinning color wheel in front of the screen, and in 1941, he was the first person in the world to file a patent for it as well.

Here's a little history in chocolate, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Chocolate can be dated as far back as the Olmec civilization which reached from modern day southern Mexico through Guatemala to El Salvadar. The Mayans (whose civilization encompassed the Mexican States of Tabasco and chiapas to the Yucatan peninsula, all of Belize and Guatemala, and parts of El Salvador and Honduras) were also known for drinking chocolate. Back then it was a bitter drink and the cacao beans were used as a currency. Chocolate didn't become sweet until Hernando Cortes returned to Spain after visiting Mexico and being mistaken the Aztec's god king Quetzalcoatl. From there it slowly spread to the rest of Europe where the Dutch would make cocoa powder and eventually Joseph Fry, from England, would make modern day chocolate.
Raw chocolate is very bitter but can be combined with vanilla or spices to improve the flavor (vanilla and many spices are native to Mesoamerica). There are currently several drinks that use chocolate as an ingredient, for example: pozol, tascalate, tejate or atole. They combine with corn to thicken and traditionally sweetened with honey or vanilla.

Hello everyone, Callie here :) I enjoyed learning more about the beautiful country of Mexico! Also I will be forever grateful to Mexico for inventing chocolate 🍫🙏🏼
I have to wonder where in the US those 2 girls grew up in the US, that they had even a moment's hesitation with Texas. Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, as well as parts of Oklahoma, Colorado, and Utah all once belonged to Mexico. Much, much more once belonged to Spain, but that was before Mexican independence.
Bruh... The fact that they couldnt figure out most of these answers with confidence was irritating the hell out of me! Bigmac? Whatever, I couldnt tell you the price of a bigmac in the US (price varies location to location anyways). But everything else besides the last question were just lob balls!
Usually the name of cities give out their Spanish roots. Such as El Paso, Los Angeles, Las Vegas etc. And also states like Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Montana, which these names have a meanings Spanish.
The president of Mexico at the time did not sell those northern territories. Texas was lost due to their independence movement and the other portion was lost due to war. The Gadsden purchase was the only territory sold to the United States
_"Independence",_ sure, that's one way to say it... Another little detail that Is often "forgotten" is that Mexico opened its borders to his Northern Protestant neighbors and allowed them to keep their language, religion and traditions (with the exception of sl*very, which was totally banned in Mexico, but not for our Northern amigos) in exchange to work the land. And how did the pay to their Mexican landlords? Well, after a few years they claimed independence from Mexico, then they joined into the U.S., but that of course wasn't a premeditated move by our lovely neighbors _(of course not!);_ and later it was used as an excuse to expand even further into the Mexican West. Mexico basically gave the hand to his neighbor, but uncle Sam took the whole arm.
Although Paul Nipkow in Germany invented the principle of image resolution as early as 1884 with the scanning disc named after him, the first long-distance cable television broadcast took place only in 1926 between London and Glasgow thanks to the Scottish inventor John Logie Baird. The cathode ray tube was developed by Karl Ferdinand Braun in 1897. Kálmán Tihanyi is credited with inventing the fully electronic charge storage type television system. He came up with the solution in 1924, his Hungarian patent application was dated 1926, after which he was approached by the Radio Corporation of America in 1928. The first regular broadcast in Germany was called Telefunken in 1935. Dénes Mihály (1894-1953) started on a different path. In 1933, in collaboration with the physicist E.H. Traub, he was able to present a television device that he further perfected (TELEHOR). This was the Mihály-Traub rotating mirror receiver that splits the image into 240 lines, and whose image could be projected onto a surface of up to 2.5×3 meters. In the fall of 1936, the first closed-circuit television broadcast took place in the Gellért Hotel, where a television image was broadcast at a distance of about 30 meters. In 1929, England also began experimental broadcasting under the authority of the BBC, until 1936 with John Logie Baird's device and then with the electronic image transmission system developed by the EMI-Marconi Company. In the United States of America, NBC broadcast its first television program in 1939. In 1929, the Bell laboratory already presented the color television, and on January 12, 1940, the first TV chain began to operate. Peter C. Goldmark (1906-1977), an engineer and physicist born in Budapest, was an employee of CBS from January 1, 1936 until his retirement in 1971 (also its director for a longer period). He developed the first usable color television standard at CBS in 1940.
Pre-Hispanic Mexicans invented the custom of chewing gum, not the chewing gum itself. There is a type of tree that produces a resin that out of the tree gets the consistency of gum, and some people liked chewing it. The type of tree is called "el árbol del chicle". Chicle is the word we use in Spanish to refer to the chewing gum because originally, chicle came from that tree.
Yes n no....so chewing gum was founded. In mexico from th3 arbol de chicle n it was chewed my the whores that stood by the canals thats how ppl knew who they were and to give the gum flavor they would take mint leaves n chew it wit the gum
In the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa people have also chewed gum for probably thousands of years. It comes from the resin of trees that also produce what later is used as frankincense. It's amazing how cultures that didn't have contact with each other developed similar traditions!
As a Texan, I'm a little surprised the Texas Revolution isn't more well known. Obviously it's Texas History, but it's another revolution against a major power that's very similar to the American revolution. Everyone knows the Alamo so I thought most people would know the war that it was in.
That's because it was basically another American revolution. It was scarcely populated and Americans began immigrating to Texas and eventually took over sparring the Texas revolution. Mexicans wouldn't have revolted.
@@XY-mc6zjYou don’t know enough about Mexican cultura/historia to come to the conclusion that they won’t have revolted. The revoluciones are a great part of Mexican history.
chocolate=aztecs or mexicas... prehispanic food chewing gum=mayan product (yucatan peninsula)... then it was taken by Thomas Adams and sold as a candy color tv=Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena... mexican inventor
I knew the chewing gum. I wavered on the chocolate; the tv was a bit of a surprise. Mexico has some fabulous writers---a relatively new one is Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Her work is simply wonderful!
Living in California, there is so much Mexican culture infused in our lives that it doesn't feel so separate. Mexicans are our friends, neighbors, and family. Still, there is a lot to learn. I knew about the Olmec connection to chocolate, but the invention of chewing gum and the color TV was news to me. Kudos!
Otra cosa curiosa es que "chicle" como se le conoce a la "goma de mascar" en muchos países hispanos pero no tan comunmente en México es en realidad una palabra de origen Nahuatl es decir una palabra de origen mexicana

8:10 onwards and both Andreas discussing that Chocolate didn't seem to fit the "chili" taste of Mexico as a joke and yet the original beverage that the Aztec Tlatoanis used to drink was chocolate with chilli 😄 ; and I think Andrea (Mex) knows that and threw that joke as a hint. Also in the question of what was invented in Mexico I was befuddled as I was like: "Wait, weren't all of those things invented here?... Maybe they mean cacao which wouldn't be an invention but a discovery... Is it a trick question? because I don't see an 'all of the above' option".
I knew most of them except the mixteco, color tv, gum. As someone who enjoys history, not only was Texas and California, but Arizona, New Mexico, Utah , Nevada and Colorado were all part of Mexico.
En el lugar donde yo vivo el mixteco es muy común, incluso tengo conocidos que lo hablan, pero creo que solo es común en la parte de la republica donde vivo y dependiendo de la parte del país cambian las lenguas tradicionales comunes del area
2:28 I wouldn't know this a lot. Even tho I don't know a lot of Mexico, more or less, since it isn't teached or known here. I was confused with the chocolate, and chewing gum, because there was no all answers...second guessed like, didn't they do both? Lol. I've authentic chewing gum from there, and all natural...one of the guides was selling them, and that happened this year when our family went on a cruise.
The main day of the dia de los muertos celebration is actually november 2, but, depending where you live in México, there is something to rememorate also on November 1, in my family tradition is that November 1st is dia de los muertos "chiquitos", as in the little dead ones, and is to recall the infants that passed away. In some places, like the Huastecas, the celebration for the dead (called Xantolo) last for nearly a month, it begins in october and ends on november.
"You were conquered by Spain"? You are the ancestor of the people who came from Europe and conquered these lands, not the natives who lived here before
when talking about chocolate, well it depends, because cacao is a natural thing that you cannot invent, the proper way of say it would be "domesticate"... I know the mayas or aztecs, i dont remember, they used to drink a beverage made out of cacao, but it was not sweet and not with milk. And the chocolate bars and drinks they were invented in Europe, here we can use the word "invention". So yeah because of that, I wouldn't say the chocolate we are used to consume nowdays was invented in "Mexico".. If we say the cocoa was domesticated in Mexico, than we'll have to give credit to Guatemala as well because at the time of the domestication, they were not countries, they were just civilizations that were in the territorie that now comprehends those countries, and also the inka civilization from what now is part of Peru and Ecuador, they also domesticated the cacao.
Me as a latino guy from Brazil get the feeling of saying what your country created and people not believing😔😔 like when i say a Brazilian created the airplane
Me sorprende que no sepan la historia de su país (usa), ya ni siquiera es necesario conocer la de México para saber qué territorios eran parte de este.
Bueno, no me sorprende que quizas no sepan de ello debido a que en muchas escuelas se niegan a enseñar esa parte de su historia. Recuerdo que hace unos años un gobernador en Texas o Arizona, no quería que las escuelas hablaran sobre ese periodo en su historia, por que si no los mexicanos "reclamarian" ese territorio, o algo así, era su argumento.
Mexico didn't sell half of its territory. The US took it the "American" way. And it was not only Texas. It's actually a little less than half of US territory.
I think it’s odd Callie and Christina didn’t say Texas. Americans study this in school. Did they forget to Remember the Alamo. 😂 Andrea’s accent is so cute. She says e-Spain. I notice a lot of Spanish speakers but e in front of English words that being with s.
There's a great video by Intervenciones Gringas that speaks about the Alamo and how texas was basically conquered by ILLEGAL AMERICANS IN MEXICO. Quite a curious story btw
Excellent video, I like the chemistry there is with the girls. In fact, the mexican cocoa is gotten from the states of Chiapas and Tabasco (the state where Mr. McIlhenny got the chilis for his Tabasco Sauce, and it's my home-state hehe). Greetings to all the world 😉
Chewing gum was invented by the Mayans. It is obtained from the sap of the chicozapote tree. The Mayan civilization used chewing gum to cleanse their mouths before ceremonies, quench thirst in times of drought, and increase salivation. The word chewing gum comes from the word “sicté ya'”, which would come to mean “chewing with the mouth”. I know this because my family has Mayan ancestry
México is not only drugs and narcos, the world news talk onñy about that and thay have gave that image, you should try coming to Mexico and experience by yourself, you'll see that Mexico is not as bad as they say
I encourage people with that mind set to come to Mexico. You will have the time of your life. Really good food, nice weather, friendly people, that’s what we have to offer.
First, Mexico did not sell half of its territory, it was stolen with the excuse of a war created by the United States, the only thing that was "sold" was a very small part called Mesilla, President Santana was forced to sell it for that the United States government could have say that the territories were not stolen, if not bought. Second: America is a continent, and the United States is in America, as is Mexico. Third: Mexico was not conquered by Spain, it was invaded, which is something different.
México no fue invadido ni conquistado por los españoles. México se formó a partir de España. LA ciudad de México y muchas otras ciudades, eran españolas, y ya después se independizaron.

In fact, he didn’t sell his patients to other countries until he died and his family decided to sell it so that in 1968 it was officially installed in the rest of the world while in Mexico there was already color signal since 1930s.

Mixteco originated from 3000BCE
Day of the dead is more nov 2
All the way up to British Columbia. Is that Montana, Oregon, California, Nevada,, Texas, Florida and of course New Mexico come from Spanish or Mexican
You do really well with these videos. Keep it up.
You forgot to “Remember the Alamo”. 😂
Mixteco is still spoken in Oaxaca (and parts of Guerrero and Puebla). She made it sound like it's a dead language.
I have to wonder where in the US those 2 girls grew up in the US, that they had even a moment's hesitation with Texas.
Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada,
as well as parts of Oklahoma, Colorado, and Utah all once belonged to Mexico.
Much, much more once belonged to Spain, but that was before Mexican independence.
Bruh... The fact that they couldnt figure out most of these answers with confidence was irritating the hell out of me!
Bigmac? Whatever, I couldnt tell you the price of a bigmac in the US (price varies location to location anyways). But everything else besides the last question were just lob balls!
Usually the name of cities give out their Spanish roots. Such as El Paso, Los Angeles, Las Vegas etc. And also states like Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Montana, which these names have a meanings Spanish.
Lo que pasa es que muchos esos territorios fueron parte de España, no llegaron a ser todos parte de México cuando este se independizó.
The president of Mexico at the time did not sell those northern territories. Texas was lost due to their independence movement and the other portion was lost due to war. The Gadsden purchase was the only territory sold to the United States
Exactly lol
_"Independence",_ sure, that's one way to say it... Another little detail that Is often "forgotten" is that Mexico opened its borders to his Northern Protestant neighbors and allowed them to keep their language, religion and traditions (with the exception of sl*very, which was totally banned in Mexico, but not for our Northern amigos) in exchange to work the land. And how did the pay to their Mexican landlords? Well, after a few years they claimed independence from Mexico, then they joined into the U.S., but that of course wasn't a premeditated move by our lovely neighbors _(of course not!);_ and later it was used as an excuse to expand even further into the Mexican West. Mexico basically gave the hand to his neighbor, but uncle Sam took the whole arm.
Vanilla, Corn and Avocados are also from Mexico! ❤️

Although Paul Nipkow in Germany invented the principle of image resolution as early as 1884 with the scanning disc named after him, the first long-distance cable television broadcast took place only in 1926 between London and Glasgow thanks to the Scottish inventor John Logie Baird.
The cathode ray tube was developed by Karl Ferdinand Braun in 1897.
Kálmán Tihanyi is credited with inventing the fully electronic charge storage type television system. He came up with the solution in 1924, his Hungarian patent application was dated 1926, after which he was approached by the Radio Corporation of America in 1928. The first regular broadcast in Germany was called Telefunken in 1935.
Dénes Mihály (1894-1953) started on a different path. In 1933, in collaboration with the physicist E.H. Traub, he was able to present a television device that he further perfected (TELEHOR). This was the Mihály-Traub rotating mirror receiver that splits the image into 240 lines, and whose image could be projected onto a surface of up to 2.5×3 meters. In the fall of 1936, the first closed-circuit television broadcast took place in the Gellért Hotel, where a television image was broadcast at a distance of about 30 meters.
In 1929, England also began experimental broadcasting under the authority of the BBC, until 1936 with John Logie Baird's device and then with the electronic image transmission system developed by the EMI-Marconi Company. In the United States of America, NBC broadcast its first television program in 1939.
In 1929, the Bell laboratory already presented the color television, and on January 12, 1940, the first TV chain began to operate.
Peter C. Goldmark (1906-1977), an engineer and physicist born in Budapest, was an employee of CBS from January 1, 1936 until his retirement in 1971 (also its director for a longer period). He developed the first usable color television standard at CBS in 1940.
Oregon was also part of mexico..
Same as wa n california

Well, the original name for chewing gum, “chicle”, sounds a lot like mexican food.
You are right, and some U.S. guy (ADAMS) make the brand chiklet’s and the rest is history.
@@ubilive7 do you like Lolis? 🤨
De donde proviene la palabra "chicle"?
@@royroger7630 de la palabra tzictli, que es náhuatl, se fue modificando hasta que quedó como chicle.
@@alexajani muchas gracias por compartir el dato. saludos
Actually Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah and Montana were part of the Mexican territory.
Pre-Hispanic Mexicans invented the custom of chewing gum, not the chewing gum itself.
There is a type of tree that produces a resin that out of the tree gets the consistency of gum, and some people liked chewing it. The type of tree is called "el árbol del chicle". Chicle is the word we use in Spanish to refer to the chewing gum because originally, chicle came from that tree.
Yes n no....so chewing gum was founded. In mexico from th3 arbol de chicle n it was chewed my the whores that stood by the canals thats how ppl knew who they were and to give the gum flavor they would take mint leaves n chew it wit the gum
In the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa people have also chewed gum for probably thousands of years. It comes from the resin of trees that also produce what later is used as frankincense. It's amazing how cultures that didn't have contact with each other developed similar traditions!
@@andiehernandez1995 2 completely different trees the gum trees are native to the Americas same trees that were used to make rubber
@@eliseoreyes1858 I get your point, but olibanum is also chewed. In practical terms they're both similar.
As a Texan, I'm a little surprised the Texas Revolution isn't more well known. Obviously it's Texas History, but it's another revolution against a major power that's very similar to the American revolution. Everyone knows the Alamo so I thought most people would know the war that it was in.
That's because it was basically another American revolution. It was scarcely populated and Americans began immigrating to Texas and eventually took over sparring the Texas revolution. Mexicans wouldn't have revolted.
@@XY-mc6zjYou don’t know enough about Mexican cultura/historia to come to the conclusion that they won’t have revolted. The revoluciones are a great part of Mexican history.
Yeah, that kinda surprised me too, but I'm from Tennessee so we may learned about it because of Davey Crockett.
But "el día de muertos" is actually on november 2nd, november 1st is "el día de todos los santos" (november 2nd "el día de los santos difuntos")
chocolate=aztecs or mexicas... prehispanic food
chewing gum=mayan product (yucatan peninsula)... then it was taken by Thomas Adams and sold as a candy
color tv=Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena... mexican inventor
This video was brilliant! I could not relate to her more, but as someone who is Irish and how people react when I tell them
I knew the chewing gum. I wavered on the chocolate; the tv was a bit of a surprise. Mexico has some fabulous writers---a relatively new one is Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Her work is simply wonderful!
Algo the vainilla is from México to the World
They forgot to mention Vanilla, avocados, corn. Lots of goodies from Mexico! ❤️ 🇲🇽
Living in California, there is so much Mexican culture infused in our lives that it doesn't feel so separate. Mexicans are our friends, neighbors, and family. Still, there is a lot to learn. I knew about the Olmec connection to chocolate, but the invention of chewing gum and the color TV was news to me. Kudos!
Otra cosa curiosa es que "chicle" como se le conoce a la "goma de mascar" en muchos países hispanos pero no tan comunmente en México es en realidad una palabra de origen Nahuatl es decir una palabra de origen mexicana
En España lo más común es llamarlo "chicle"

8:10 onwards and both Andreas discussing that Chocolate didn't seem to fit the "chili" taste of Mexico as a joke and yet the original beverage that the Aztec Tlatoanis used to drink was chocolate with chilli 😄 ; and I think Andrea (Mex) knows that and threw that joke as a hint.
Also in the question of what was invented in Mexico I was befuddled as I was like: "Wait, weren't all of those things invented here?... Maybe they mean cacao which wouldn't be an invention but a discovery... Is it a trick question? because I don't see an 'all of the above' option".
I knew most of them except the mixteco, color tv, gum. As someone who enjoys history, not only was Texas and California, but Arizona, New Mexico, Utah , Nevada and Colorado were all part of Mexico.
En el lugar donde yo vivo el mixteco es muy común, incluso tengo conocidos que lo hablan, pero creo que solo es común en la parte de la republica donde vivo y dependiendo de la parte del país cambian las lenguas tradicionales comunes del area

2:28 I wouldn't know this a lot. Even tho I don't know a lot of Mexico, more or less, since it isn't teached or known here. I was confused with the chocolate, and chewing gum, because there was no all answers...second guessed like, didn't they do both? Lol. I've authentic chewing gum from there, and all natural...one of the guides was selling them, and that happened this year when our family went on a cruise.
The main day of the dia de los muertos celebration is actually november 2, but, depending where you live in México, there is something to rememorate also on November 1, in my family tradition is that November 1st is dia de los muertos "chiquitos", as in the little dead ones, and is to recall the infants that passed away. In some places, like the Huastecas, the celebration for the dead (called Xantolo) last for nearly a month, it begins in october and ends on november.
In cathlocism thenday of the dead is nov2
there are many things about Mexico that the world does not dare to find out ✌️

when talking about chocolate, well it depends, because cacao is a natural thing that you cannot invent, the proper way of say it would be "domesticate"... I know the mayas or aztecs, i dont remember, they used to drink a beverage made out of cacao, but it was not sweet and not with milk. And the chocolate bars and drinks they were invented in Europe, here we can use the word "invention". So yeah because of that, I wouldn't say the chocolate we are used to consume nowdays was invented in "Mexico".. If we say the cocoa was domesticated in Mexico, than we'll have to give credit to Guatemala as well because at the time of the domestication, they were not countries, they were just civilizations that were in the territorie that now comprehends those countries, and also the inka civilization from what now is part of Peru and Ecuador, they also domesticated the cacao.
Me as a latino guy from Brazil get the feeling of saying what your country created and people not believing😔😔 like when i say a Brazilian created the airplane
Andrea (🇲🇽) is so cool
Me sorprende que no sepan la historia de su país (usa), ya ni siquiera es necesario conocer la de México para saber qué territorios eran parte de este.
Bueno, no me sorprende que quizas no sepan de ello debido a que en muchas escuelas se niegan a enseñar esa parte de su historia. Recuerdo que hace unos años un gobernador en Texas o Arizona, no quería que las escuelas hablaran sobre ese periodo en su historia, por que si no los mexicanos "reclamarian" ese territorio, o algo así, era su argumento.
La verdad
Es por eso que la gran mayoría de los gringos son ignorantes, se sienten superiores cuando más de la mitad de "su" territorio fue robado.
Mexico didn't sell half of its territory. The US took it the "American" way. And it was not only Texas. It's actually a little less than half of US territory.
I think it’s odd Callie and Christina didn’t say Texas. Americans study this in school. Did they forget to Remember the Alamo. 😂
Andrea’s accent is so cute. She says e-Spain. I notice a lot of Spanish speakers but e in front of English words that being with s.
There's a great video by Intervenciones Gringas that speaks about the Alamo and how texas was basically conquered by ILLEGAL AMERICANS IN MEXICO. Quite a curious story btw
Good job Mexican ANDREA! ;)
Excellent video, I like the chemistry there is with the girls. In fact, the mexican cocoa is gotten from the states of Chiapas and Tabasco (the state where Mr. McIlhenny got the chilis for his Tabasco Sauce, and it's my home-state hehe). Greetings to all the world 😉
Chewing gum was invented by the Mayans. It is obtained from the sap of the chicozapote tree. The Mayan civilization used chewing gum to cleanse their mouths before ceremonies, quench thirst in times of drought, and increase salivation. The word chewing gum comes from the word “sicté ya'”, which would come to mean “chewing with the mouth”. I know this because my family has Mayan ancestry

First, Mexico did not sell half of its territory, it was stolen with the excuse of a war created by the United States, the only thing that was "sold" was a very small part called Mesilla, President Santana was forced to sell it for that the United States government could have say that the territories were not stolen, if not bought. Second: America is a continent, and the United States is in America, as is Mexico. Third: Mexico was not conquered by Spain, it was invaded, which is something different.
México no fue invadido ni conquistado por los españoles. México se formó a partir de España. LA ciudad de México y muchas otras ciudades, eran españolas, y ya después se independizaron.
november 1TH haha
Such a fun group to encounter. Would like to meet them one day
Happy Birthday Christina ❤️🙈 🎉
The question about what state was part of Mexico should have been three different ones and the answer ALL ABOVE😂
There’s no British person there. Need to change the title
Exactly, The color TV creator was Mexican, named Guillermo Gonzales Camarena. In fact, he didn’t sell his patients to other countries until he died and his family decided to sell it so that in 1968 it was officially installed in the rest of the world while in Mexico there was already color signal since 1930s. It’s kinda sad that many people don’t know about this lol

My dad told me all of these facts. I was a kid and while we were watching a movie he just casually said “you know a Mexican invented colored television”. Not too long after I found out my great great great G-pa fought alongside with Pancho Villa the same age I was as a kid. So many countries wanted to claim us, but the people stood firm.
Only Spain wanted Mexico, France was in cooperation with Mexicans for the Second Mexican Empire (Emperor Maximiliano) and the U.S. only wanted the northern territories.
Pancho Villa and his people killed my great-great grandfather, so thanks a lot lol He didn’t like rich people
Mixtecos are actually current mainly in Oaxaca, and there's different variations of the same language. But my favorite sound in mexican original languages is the zapotec, also current in Oaxaca.
