Mexico has been heavily influenced by Spanish and American cultures for quite some time now like:while during the conquest of Mexico by the Spanish,they had introduced the Roman Catholic faith and the western education and many Mexican customs and tradition such as mariachi and festivals were part of Spain’s own influences. During the Mexican-American War, true the US won and acquired territory’s from Mexico, so many Mexicans became citizens of the United States and brought their own cultures to America such like their food,their festivities and actual better education as well also some opportunity’s in business and careers, too. So we and the Spanish helped shape Mexico’s culture but while doing so they changed us as well America would be much different if not for them and probably it’s the same for Spain.
