History
Pre-First Scinfaxi War
Human presence in the territories of Mexico on Earth dated back to at least 8,000 BCE. Mesoamerica, considered a cradle of civilization, was home to numerous advanced societies, including the Olmecs, Maya, Zapotecs, Teotihuacan civilization, and Purépecha. Spanish colonization defeated the dominant Aztec Empire, establishing the colony of New Spain with its capital at Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City). Mexico became a major center of the transatlantic economy, fueled by silver mining and the forced labor of Indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans. The 1810–1821 Mexican War of Independence ended Spanish rule and led to the creation of the First Mexican Empire, which quickly collapsed into the short-lived First Mexican Republic. In 1848, Mexico lost nearly half its territory to the United States of America as a result of the Mexican–American War. Liberal reforms set in the Constitution of 1857 led to civil war and French intervention, culminated in the establishment of the Second Mexican Empire, which was overthrown by Republican forces. The late 19th century saw a long dictatorship whose modernization policies came at the cost of severe social inequality. The 1910–1920 Mexican Revolution led to the overthrow of the dictatorship, and the adoption of the 1917 Constitution.
In September of 1933, following the deadly Tampico Hurricane, Scinfaxi organic material was discovered in the storm's wake.
