This course surveys pre-Columbian times to the present-day, beginning with indigenous background and continuing though conquest, colonialism and the century of social unrest that began with the struggle for independence in 1810. It considers the Mexican Revolution and its implications for Mexico's contemporary political and social stability and economic development. ![Image_005B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2225-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_005B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2225-PM.jpg?width=853&height=653&name=Image_005B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2225-PM.jpg) ![Image_016-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2935-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_016-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2935-PM.jpg?width=1284&height=977&name=Image_016-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2935-PM.jpg) ![Image_009B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2879-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_009B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2879-PM.jpg?width=1310&height=804&name=Image_009B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2879-PM.jpg) ![Image_001-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-3222-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_001-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-3222-PM.jpg?width=1239&height=702&name=Image_001-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-3222-PM.jpg) ![Image_015-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-6146-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_015-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-6146-PM.jpg?width=1396&height=982&name=Image_015-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-6146-PM.jpg) ![Image_017B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-3084-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_017B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-3084-PM.jpg?width=894&height=988&name=Image_017B-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-3084-PM.jpg) ![Image_012-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-6608-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_012-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-6608-PM.jpg?width=1322&height=910&name=Image_012-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-6608-PM.jpg) ![Image_013-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2225-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_013-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2225-PM.jpg?width=1497&height=1005&name=Image_013-Feb-10-2026-02-29-20-2225-PM.jpg) [![Learn more about our Economics, History, and Political Science Department](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/376696/c3d6db57-a622-4ef6-9ff7-adb564097185.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/376696/c3d6db57-a622-4ef6-9ff7-adb564097185) Topics: [Economics, History, and Political Science](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/economics-history-and-political-science) ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic A-Z -
