Mexico in World History by William H. Beezley Book PDF Summary
Drawing on materials ranging from archaeological findings to recent studies of migration issues and drug violence, William H. Beezley provides a dramatic narrative of human events as he recounts the story of Mexico in the context of world history. Beginning with the Mayan and Aztec civilizations and their brutal defeat at the hands of the Conquistadors, Beezley discusses Spain's three-hundred-year colonial rule, foreign invasions and huge territorial losses at the hands of the United States, and conditions in Mexico today.
