Corruption the biggest problem in Mexico.

[MikeOxhard]

U also can't be taken seriously when ur military is literally losing to cartels 😂

[franciscoalonso]

Canada has extracted more in half a decade than the amount that Spain ever extracted in its 300-year jurisdiction.

[justinr.]

That's the dumbest explanation I've ever heard.

Im Mexican. Spain has nothing to do lol Mexico exist after Spain in 1821 and when Mexico was “The New Spain” wasn’t a colony but a viceroyalty Mexico City was the richest city in the world at that time and far rich than the 13 colonies (USA), second people living in the center of Mexico is a pointless argument, the lost of California and Texas hits more because gold and oil ok, but today Mexico is the 7th country who produce gold in world, and top 10 in oil production so… not at all.

Real problems are just 2: corruption and lack of strong laws.
Period

Don’t worry guys. Mexico is getting stronger with their cheap labor as companies are fleeing from China. This is great news to Mexico as it will boost their economy.

Spain's extracting resources and Mexico's loss of territory have very little to do with why Mexico isn't a power today. It has more to do with how the country mismanaged its natural resources and the amount of corruption within the government today, not hundreds of years ago.

The Spanish Empire left Mexico in 1821 bruh. The real reasons why it isn’t a global power today is due to modern and contemporary problems such as cartels, drugs, political instability, poor quality of life, less economic opportunity, and corruption. Not only that but a major contributor as well is brain drain: the phenomenon in which there’s emigration of highly skilled, highly trained, highly competent, and highly educated individuals from the country. In order for them to reestablish the Mexican Empire and position themselves as a global power, they should rid of the cartels, try to solve their drug and corruption epidemic, increase quality of life and stabilize the economy. By solving these problems, it would also rid of the need to emigrate out of the country thus also lessening brain drain. But it’s easier said than done unfortunately.

[andresarguello]

its literally the 13th largest economy

[LuisMorales-uddp]

Mexico is literally the 12th largest economy in the world i think its pretty powerful

[pmp]

Bro says that Spanish extraction of resources is a reason of why Mexico is poor today when most of the gold extracted was reinvested in the proper Mexico 💀💀☠☠ Also he forgot to mention that in one year, the Canadian companies extract more gold than all the gold extracted in the 300 years of Spanish rule, as well as modern Mexico wouldnt exist without Spanish annexation of these lands.

[NikephorosCaesar]

Let’s not pretend that Texas and California would be economic powerhouses if Mexico kept them

[jklhlym]

Because we Mexicans LIVE our own life’s and don’t worry about the rest or the planet 🇲🇽

[kharlanhero]

Too many non-mexicans giving their opinion on Mexico. Start solving your nation wide drug addiction problems first

[mechagold]

Wrong on the "Spain" Part... The inversion on Mexico(New Spain) by the Spanish crown is arguably bigger than what was used by the Empire as currency. In fact, Canada's multinational mining companies have extracted more gold and silver than New Spain ever could mine in three centuries.

[aleografics]

Spain: * extracts 1% of Mexico's gold *

México: It's Spain's fault they stole my gold!!!

[sebastianvillanueva]

Nobody is talking about the downfall of the gringos

[gerardodelagarza]

quite incorrect Spain didn´t extract so much resources, it was United States that as expansionist took half Mexicos territory

[DerToasti]

having access to the atlantic and pacific is amazing, but it's geography aside from that is absolutely terrible.

[ignaciobilbao]

Spain extracted less amount of wealth than the US or Canada with their modern mining companies nowadays
