This presentation is about how Mexico became Mexico, the story of Hernan Cortes and the seminal events that created what we now know as Mexican culture and national character. It is a nation that is uniquely hispanic but has rejected its hispanic identity for over five hundred years while stubornly clinging to a rich indigenous culture and roots.
