<span>Mexico has been heavily influenced by Spanish and American
cultures. During the conquest of Mexico
by the Spanish, they introduced the Roman Catholic faith and Western education and many of Mexican customs
and tradition such as mariachi and festivals were part of Spain’s influence. During the Mexican-American War, the U.S. won
and acquired territories from Mexico.
Many Mexicans became citizens of the United States and brought their
cultures to America such like food, festivities and other cultural traits.
