The Spanish were the first European people to explore Florida and Texas, to see the Grand Canyon, the Pacific Ocean, and the Pacific Coast. And everything they saw QUICKLY became their property. In fact, Spain once claimed about two-thirds of the land that makes up the continental part of the US. Spain's EXPLORATION of the US started from Mexico, which the Spanish conquered in 1521. The cultures of the ORIGINAL native inhabitants and the Spanish conquerors in Mexico were assimilating for more than 300 years. In the 1800s, their Mexican grandchildren fought for and won their INDEPENDENCE from Spanish rule. After some time, Mexico asked for control over Spain's North American territory. But those claims were useless, and the borders were DEFINED. In 1845, the Republic of Texas declared that Mexico wasn't its OWN anymore and became a part of the US. 50 years later, the US was three times larger. Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and parts of Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming all once were part of Mexico.
