Which is just continuously funny to me when it's said in a place that was Mexico. I really wish history was a bigger thing for everyone. It would really make our society advance rapidly.

California was part of the Spanish Empire, built on the ruins of the Aztec Empire Spain destroyed. It remained so for about 300 years. Mexico became independent in 1808 and by 1848 it was divided up into Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and Utah. Funny how people tend to skip over centuries of history.

California was not built on the ruins of Aztec empire lol what. In fact California was not that populated except a bunch of missionaries when Spain owned it to force the native Americans to convert to Catholism. Also Mexico didn’t do anything with California in the few decades they owned it with independence that’s why it was easy for the US to take over cause there wasn’t many Mexicans here to begin with.

The Spanish Empire was built on the ruins of the Aztec Empire. The region of California was added to the Spanish holdings and run as such for 300 years. Mexico had it for 40.
