The **United Mexican States** (Spainsh: *Estados Unidos Mexicanos*) is a nation that borders United States of America to the north, along with bordering to their south is Republic of Guatemala and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, based on Belize

After the beginning of the Second War, Mexico experienced high rates of economic growth, an achievement some historians call "El Milagro Mexicano", the Mexican Miracle. A key component of this phenomenon was the achievement of political stability, which since the founding of the dominant party, has insured stable presidential succession and control of potentially dissident labor and peasant sections through participation in the party structure.

## **History**

In 1938, Lázaro Cárdenas used Article 27 of the Constitution of 1917, which gave subsoil rights to the Mexican government, to expropriate foreign oil companies. It was a popular move, but it did not generate further major expropriations. With Cárdenas's hand-picked successor, Manuel Avila Camacho, Mexico moved closer to the U.S., as an ally in World War II. This alliance brought significant economic gains to Mexico. By supplying raw and finished war materials to the Allies, Mexico built up significant assets that in the post-war period could be translated into sustained growth and industrialization.

After 1946, the government took a rightward turn under President Miguel Alemán, who repudiated the policies of previous presidents. Mexico pursued industrial development, through import substitution industrialization and tariffs against imports. Mexican industrialists, including a group in Monterrey, Nuevo León as well as wealthy businessmen in Mexico City joined Alemán's coalition. Alemán tamed the labor movement in favor of policies supporting industrialists.

Financing industrialization came from private entrepreneurs, such as the Monterrey group, but the government funded a significant amount through its development bank, Nacional Financiera. Foreign capital through direct investment was another source of funding for industrialization, much of it from the United States. (1.)

### Mexico's Indigenous Revolt (under the PAN regime)

To get the ball rolling on the revolt, choose the opposition PAN party under Luna. His big focus is on trade, and relations with the US. You can even ask to join the Toronto Accord later on. But, forget that for right now. If you go down the right hand side of the tree, you will get to the focus 'Take Care of the Indigenous 'Pagans.'' As the name implies, the indigenous people in the Yucatan area will not take too kindly to the destruction of their traditions and start an open revolt.

The AIR (also their in-game tag), or the Autonomous Indigenous Republics, spawn in a few of the eastern states of Mexico around the Yucatan Peninsula. It is led by the Socialist United Indigenous Council (with the subset of Agrarian Socialism). It spawns with just under half the number of units the Mexican army has. You can see the OOB for the two types of units, and it's only commander, Commandant Elias, a General. The event of the revolt speaks of the AIR's forces as an Army of Indigenous Liberation (Ejército de Liberación Indígena, ELI).

The only way to be able to play it would be a tag switch over. The event that spawns it just declares war upon it. It has no extra content aside from the war (2.).
