Background This country has a long history of being occupied with different native civilizations. However, Mexico entered a new era of colonization when it was conqured by Spain in the early 16th century. This remained a Spanish colony until it fought for and achieved its independence in the early 1800s. Mexico is now currently struggling with economic troubles since the market crash in 2008. Notorious for its low wages, unemployment, questionable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities. Mexico has also been struggling with its powerful drug-trafficking organizations. Since 2007 these cartels have been engaged in bloody feuding, which is the prime cause for tens of thousands of drug-related murders.
