Mexico City is the capital and largest city of Mexico,as well as the most populous city in North America,and is one of the country's 32 federal entities. Mexico City is one of the most important cultural and financial centers in the world. It is located in the Valley of Mexico,a large valley in the high plateaus in the center of Mexico,at an altitude of 2,240 meters (7,350 ft). The city has 16 demarcaciones territoriales,subdivisions colloquially known as alcaldías or boroughs.
North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere and almost entirely within the Western Hemisphere. It can also be described as the northern subcontinent of a single continent called America. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean,to the east by the Atlantic Ocean,to the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea,and to the west and south by the Pacific Ocean. Because it is on the North American Tectonic Plate,Greenland is included as a part of North America geographically.
New Mexico is a state in the Southwestern United States. It is one of the Mountain States of the southern Rocky Mountains,sharing the Four Corners region of the western U.S. with Utah,Colorado,and Arizona,and bordering Texas to the east and southeast,Oklahoma to the northeast,and the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora to the south. The state capital is Santa Fe,which is the oldest capital in the U.S.,founded in 1610 as the government seat of Nuevo México in New Spain;the largest city is Albuquerque.
The Day of the Dead is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2,though other days,such as October 31 or November 6,may be included depending on the locality. It largely originated in Mexico,where it is mostly observed,but also in other places,especially by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. Although associated with the Western Christian Allhallowtide observances of All Hallow's Eve,All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day,it has a much less solemn tone and is portrayed as a holiday of joyful celebration rather than mourning. The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and to remember friends and family members who have died. These celebrations can take a humorous tone,as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.
Billy the Kid,also known by the pseudonym William H. Bonney,was an outlaw and gunfighter of the American Old West,who killed eight men before he was shot and killed at the age of 21. He also fought in New Mexico's Lincoln County War,during which he allegedly committed three murders.
Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits,self-portraits,and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture,she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity,postcolonialism,gender,class,and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement,which sought to define a Mexican identity,Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist. She is known for painting about her experience of chronic pain.
The Battle of Puebla took place on 5 May,Cinco de Mayo,1862,near Puebla City during the Second French intervention in Mexico. French troops under the command of Charles de Lorencez repeatedly failed to storm the forts of Loreto and Guadalupe situated on top of the hills overlooking the city of Puebla,and eventually retreated to Orizaba in order to await reinforcements. Lorencez was dismissed from his command,and French troops under under Élie Frédéric Forey would eventually take the city,but the Mexican victory at Puebla against a better equipped force provided patriotic inspiration to the Mexicans.

The Second French Intervention in Mexico,also known as the Second Franco-Mexican War,1861–1867;was an invasion of Mexico,launched in late 1862 by the Second French Empire,which hoped to replace the Mexican Republic with a monarchy favorable to French interests.
Mexico,officially the United Mexican States,is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States;to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean;to the southeast by Guatemala,Belize,and the Caribbean Sea;and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico covers 1,972,550 square kilometers (761,610 sq mi),making it the world's 13th-largest country by area;with approximately 126,014,024 inhabitants,it is the 10th-most-populous country and has the most Spanish-speakers. Mexico is organized as a federation comprising 31 states and Mexico City,its capital and largest metropolis. Other major urban areas include Guadalajara,Monterrey,Puebla,Toluca,Tijuana,Ciudad Juárez,and León.
Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera,commonly known as "El Chapo" because of his 168 cm stature,is a Mexican former drug lord and a former leader within the Sinaloa Cartel,an international crime syndicate. He is considered to have been one of the most powerful drug traffickers in the world.
The Mexican drug war is an ongoing asymmetric low-intensity conflict between the Mexican government and various drug trafficking syndicates. When the Mexican military began to intervene in 2006,the government's main objective was to reduce drug-related violence. The Mexican government has asserted that their primary focus is dismantling the cartels,and preventing drug trafficking demand along with U.S. functionaries. Therefore,the conflict has been described as the Mexican theater of the global war on drugs,as led by the U.S. federal government.
The CONCACAF Champions League,known officially as the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League for sponsorship reasons,is an annual continental club football competition organized by CONCACAF. The winner of the CONCACAF Champions League automatically qualifies for the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup. The competition has been completed 57 times through the 2022 event,with 59 champions,due to a three-way shared title in the 1978 competition.
The Sinaloa Cartel,also known as the CDS,the Guzmán-Loera Organization,the Pacific Cartel,the Federation and the Blood Alliance,is a large international drug trafficking,money laundering,and organized crime syndicate established in Mexico during the late 1980s as one of a various number of "plazas" operating under a predecessor organization known as the Guadalajara Cartel. It is currently headed by Ismael Zambada García and is based in the city of Culiacán,Sinaloa,with operations in many world regions but primarily in the Mexican states of Sinaloa,Baja California,Durango,Sonora,and Chihuahua. It also has a notable presence in a number of other regions in Latin America,such as Colombia;as well as in cities across the U.S. The United States Intelligence Community generally considers the Sinaloa Cartel to be the most powerful drug trafficking organization in the Western Hemisphere,making it perhaps even more influential and capable than the infamous Medellín Cartel of Colombia was during its prime. It has repeatedly been said to be one of the strongest criminal organizations in the world and indisputably the most powerful in Mexico since at least the late 2000s and early 2010s by various sources including the Los Angeles Times.
The Mexican–American War,also known in the United States as the Mexican War and in Mexico as the Intervención estadounidense en México,was an armed conflict between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. It followed the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas,which Mexico considered Mexican territory since the Mexican government did not recognize the Velasco treaty signed by Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna when he was a prisoner of the Texian Army during the 1836 Texas Revolution. The Republic of Texas was de facto an independent country,but most of its citizens wished to be annexed by the United States. Domestic sectional politics in the U.S. were preventing annexation since Texas would have been a slave state,upsetting the balance of power between Northern free states and Southern slave states. In the 1844 United States presidential election,Democrat James K. Polk was elected on a platform of expanding U.S. territory in Oregon and Texas. Polk advocated expansion by either peaceful means or armed force,with the 1845 annexation of Texas furthering that goal by peaceful means. However,the boundary between Texas and Mexico was disputed,with the Republic of Texas and the U.S. asserting it to be the Rio Grande and Mexico claiming it to be the more-northern Nueces River. Both Mexico and the U.S. claimed the disputed area and sent troops. Polk sent U.S. Army troops to the area;he also sent a diplomatic mission to Mexico to try to negotiate the sale of territory. U.S. troops' presence was designed to lure Mexico into starting the conflict,putting the onus on Mexico and allowing Polk to argue to Congress that a declaration of war should be issued. Mexican forces attacked U.S. forces,and the United States Congress declared war.
Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration held on May 5,which commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862,led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. The victory of a smaller,poorly equipped Mexican force against the larger and better-armed French army was a morale boost for the Mexicans. Zaragoza died months after the battle from an illness,and a larger French force ultimately defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla and occupied Mexico City.
