Introduction
editHistory
editMexico City is the capital of Mexico. It is also one of the most important cities in Latin America and the world-- economically and culturally speaking. Its total extension is 7,815 km2 (20,232 square miles). Mexico City is the financial and political epicenter of Mexico, constituted by 16 Burroughs. It lies at 2,200 meters above sea level. Mexico City proper has 9 million inhabitants, and Greater Mexico City has 22 million. It was founded by the Mexica (Aztecs) in 1325 as the seat of the Aztec Empire. In 1521 the Mexica fell in battle to the Spanish Conquistadores and in 1535 it was established as the capital of the Nueva España [tk virreinato], serving as the seat of the administrative and economic power over the Spanish Empire, which extended in North and Central America, Asia and Oceania. In 1821, after the Mexican Independence War, the Spanish government ends and is replaced by the First Mexican Empire, lasting until 1823. In 1824 the Congress decides to reunite the Powers of the Union in one city, creating the Federal District (Mexico City)
