The Mexican Empire (Spanish: Imperio Mexicano), colloquially known as Mexico (México), is a sovereign state located southwestern North America. The nation is bordered by Alaska to the north, Texas to the northeast, Belize to the southeast, and the United States (via Panama) to the south.

Prior to European colonization, the territory of modern day Mexico was inhabited by many indigenous peoples. The area around the Yucatán Peninsula was inhabited by the Maya peoples, while the Valley of Mexico was dominated by the Aztec Empire. Headed by Hernán Cortés, the entire region came under Spanish control during the 16th Century as the viceroyalty of New Spain.
