And who did the Spanish steal Mexico from?

Don’t be silly. It’s okay if Southern Europeans killed what they thought were Indians, and stole their land. It’s the evil Northern Europeans that deserve to be called on it. /s

Makes you wonder what the reaction would have been if the United States had claimed vast regions of the Moon as U. S. Territory, just like Spain did in what is now the Western United States.

Two things are incredibly crystal clear. Hardly any Mexican nationals know their own history, and an inordinately large segment of U. S. Citizens suffer the same knowledge deficit.

“And who did the Spanish steal Mexico from?”

Peaceful, gentle Native Americans! (well except when they weren’t cutting each others’ hearts out and throwing virgins into wells/s;)
