For almost 3,000 years Mexico was the site of some of the most advanced Indian civilizations, most notably the Aztec and Mayan.

It saw vast changes in the organization, tactics, and weapons used by the British army; it had far-reaching effects on the white political structure in the country; and it stimulated Afrikaner nationalism, which may...
