[[Mexico]] has historically always been a multicultural country. After the betrayal of [[Hernán Cortés]] to the [[Aztecs]], the [[Spaniards|Spanish]] conquered the [[Aztec Empire]] and colonized indigenous people. They influenced the indigenous religion, politics, culture and ethnicity.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}} The Spanish opened schools in which they taught Christianity, and the Spanish language eventually surpassed indigenous languages, making it the most spoken language in Mexico. Mestizo was also born from the conquest, which meant being half-Indigenous and half-Spanish.<ref>{{cite web|last=Page |first=Index |url=http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/1932-ethnic-diversity-in-mexico |title=Ethnic diversity in Mexico : Mexico Travel |publisher=Mexconnect.com |date=20 May 2011 |access-date=1 July 2013}}</ref>

[[Mexico City]] has recently been integrating rapidly, doing much better than many cities in a sample conducted by the Intercultural Cities Index (being the only non-European city, alongside [[Montreal]], on the index).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/cultureheritage/culture/cities/index/Mexico_en.pdf |title=Microsoft Word – Mexico City PR rev[1&#93;-1.doc |access-date=1 July 2013}}</ref> Mexico is an ethnically diverse country with a population composed of approximately 123 million in 2017. There is a wide variety of ethnic groups, the major group being [[Mestizo]]s followed by [[White Mexicans]] and [[Indigenous Mexicans]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.investigacionyciencia.es/revistas/investigacion-y-ciencia/matemticas-del-planeta-tierra-585/el-impacto-del-mestizaje-en-mxico-11442|title=El impacto del mestizaje en México|work=Investigación y Ciencia|access-date=25 July 2018|language=es}}</ref> There are many other ethnic groups such as [[Arab Mexicans]], [[Afro-Mexicans]] and [[Asian Mexicans]].

From the year 2000 to 2010, the number of people in Mexico that were born in another country doubled, reaching a total of 961,121 people, mostly coming from Guatemala and the United States.<ref name=IO_1>{{cite web| title=Informativo oportuno (Spanish text)| url=http://www.inegi.gob.mx/inegi/contenidos/espanol/prensa/contenidos/Articulos/sociodemograficas/nacidosenotropais.pdf| url-status=dead| date=May 2011| volume=1| issue=2| access-date=13 November 2023| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130427100913/http://www.inegi.gob.mx/inegi/contenidos/espanol/prensa/contenidos/Articulos/sociodemograficas/nacidosenotropais.pdf| archive-date=27 April 2013}}</ref> Mexico is quickly becoming a [[melting pot]], with many immigrants coming into the country. It is considered to be a [[cradle of civilization]], which influences their multiculturalism and diversity, by having different civilizations influence them. A distinguishable trait of Mexico's culture is the [[mestizaje]] of its people, which caused the combination of Spanish influence, their indigenous roots while also adapting the culture traditions from their immigrants.
