And I am serious about this-- just look at Roman history from the 4th and 5th centuries.
Mexico is a sad case. I feel sorry for people from there until I started looking at Mexico’s history.
That nation had all kinds of things going for it. It had huge and prosperous cities during the 1600s while English colonies to the north had just been established and the people living in wattle and daub huts. Mexico is rich in natural resources and a climate perfect for year-round agriculture.
The problem is the people. That is why it is a failed state.
