Mexico was recognized in [[Wikipedia:1821|1821]] as a sovereign state after the Mexican War of Independence. The tumultuous post-independence period was characterized by economic instability and many political changes. In [[Wikipedia:1836|1836]], during the [[Wikipedia:Texas Revolution|Texas Revolution]], the [[Battle of the Alamo]] saw an assault launched on the Alamo mission by Mexican troops. The Mexican–American War, which began ten years later, led to the territorial cession of the extensive northern borderlands, one-third of its territory, to the [[Wikipedia:United States of America|United States of America]]. Mexico saw the Pastry War, the Franco-Mexican War, its own civil war, two empires, and a domestic dictatorship during the 19th century. This dictatorship was overthrown in the Mexican Revolution of [[Wikipedia:1910|1910]], which culminated with the promulgation of the [[Wikipedia:1917|1917]] Constitution. In [[1945]], Mexico became a founding member of the [[United Nations]]. Eventually, it, along with [[Canada]] and the political remnants of the [[Wikipedia:United States of America|United States of America]] became part of the loose association known as the [[United Republic of North America]], itself under the direction of the [[Unified Earth Government]] along with all other UN states on [[Earth]].<ref name="ENC"/> When the [[Covenant]] attacked [[Earth]] in late [[2552]], Mexico became a site of conflict during the global [[Battle for Earth|battle]]. That is to say that the Covenant deployed troops just off the coast of the [[Yucatán Peninsula]]. These Covenant forces intended to search the seafloor there for unknown reasons, but their operation was stopped by the [[Spartan-II]]s of [[Blue Team]].<ref name="goo204">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 204-205''</ref>[[Base Segundo Terra]], was used by Blue Team as a staging point for the launching of their strike against the Covenant in the [[Wikipedia:Pacific Ocean|Pacific Ocean]] and prior to that, another mission to [[Antarctica]]. | |||
