Answer 2

Mexico has been "founded" three times throughout its history:

The original Mexico (Mexico-Tenochtitlan) was founded by Aztecs on March 13, 1325. Later, it was founded as the "Viceroyalty of the New Spain" on August 13, 1521 when the Spanish conquered the Aztec Empire. Finally, Mexico declared its independence from Spain on September 16, 1810.

Answer 3

Before 1325 AD, the Aztec or Mexica people (as they knew themselves) were a nomadic tribe that wandered throughout the land, looking for a place to settle and build their capital. Their state religion awaited the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy: that the wandering tribe would find the destined site for a great city whose location would be signaled by an eagle eating a snake while perched atop a cactus.

The Aztecs saw this vision on what was then a small swampy island in the middle of lake Texcoco, after which they founded their capital city, on March 13, 1325. Not deterred by the unfavourable terrain, they set about building their city, using the chinampa system (misnamed as "floating gardens") for agriculture and to dry and expand the island. That city was Mexico-Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City (19° 25' 57.85'' N, 99° 07' 59.71'' W).

The prophesy and subsequent vision is now immortalized in Mexico's coat of arms and on the Mexican flag.
