"A Concise History of Mexico" is one of the books in the series, introducing Mexico's history spanning over 3,000 years—from the early settlement of the Olmec people over 1,000 years BC, the invasion of Spanish colonizers in 1915, gaining independence in 1821, the outbreak of the bourgeois democratic revolution in 1910, to the end of the one-party ruling regime in 2000. It depicts the contradictions and historical progress between various religious and cultural factors, political and economic factions, and social strata within Mexico during this period, as well as its relationship with its largest neighbor—the United States.
