Around 9,000 years ago, ancient Mexicans domesticated corn and initiated an agricultural revolution, leading to the formation of many complex civilizations. These civilizations revolved around cities with writing, monumental architecture, astronomical studies, mathematics, and militaries. After 4,000 years, these civilizations were destroyed with the arrival of the Spaniards in 1519. For three centuries, Mexico was colonized by Spain, during which time the majority of its indigenous population died off. Formal independence from Spain was recognized in 1821. A war with the United States ended with Mexico selling almost half of its territory in 1848 (the treaty of Guadalupe). France invaded Mexico in 1864 and ruled briefly until 1867. The Mexican Revolution would later result in the death of 10% of the nation's population.</p><p> </p><p>Link: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Aztec calendar</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_calendar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_calendar" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_calendar</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee18/cherylkubicko/P1140303.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>10 Centavos (1936-1946)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee18/cherylkubicko/P1130105.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>km#423 5 Centavos (1936-1942)</p><p> </p><p><b>Year: 1968</b></p><p><b>Place: Mexico</b></p><p><b>Event:</b> <b>Olympic </b></p><p><b>Coin: Mexican 1968 Olympics Silver 25 Pesos Coin</b></p><p> </p><p><b>Edge</b></p><p>Incused lettering “Independencia y Libertad”</p><p> </p><p><b><font size="3">Artist</font></b></p><p>Ricardo Luna Y Vasco</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee18/cherylkubicko/P1080024.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><font size="3"><b>Obverse:</b></font></p><p> </p><p><b>ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS On top of the coin </b></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee18/cherylkubicko/CoatOfArms1200X1000.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee18/cherylkubicko/P10800271800X1200.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Sculpture commemorating the moment when <b>Aztecs</b> found the sign from the god <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huitzilopochtli" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huitzilopochtli" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #5a3696">Huitzilopochtli</span></a>.

[QUOTE="cherylkubucko, post: 496560, member: 9624"]1968 was also the year of the Prague Spring, the student riots in Paris France.
