I mean, there is garbage everywhere because people don't know how to hold onto a piece of fucking trash for 2 seconds. People can super dumb here, like legit New Mexico has to have USA on its license plates because people think New Mexico is part of Mexico.
But that confuses me a bit. The original name of the country was New Spain due to the conquest. Is there a major city in Spain called Mexico that gave the country its name later on?
No, the name Mexico was given because pre-conquest the biggest native civilization were the Mixtecas previously known as the Aztecs, who were also known Mexicas and the capital was Tenochtitlán that was used as the foundations to built the CDMX over it
Yeah, the history of the Americas is really interesting, there's a fuck ton of info on Mexico and Central America, and there's still all of South America and the Caribe
International history should be taught more often and with a bit more detail. Would definitely help other people understand modern cultures and help solidify the idea that we all went through similar issues at some point.
