Mexico was the name of the capital of the Mexica empire. Their former possessions then became the Kingdom of Mexico under the viceroy until the 19th century. Please stop lying.

Valley of Mexico was so named because of the City State of Mexico-Tenochtitlan. In the colonial period former Aztec empire lands became the Kingdom of Mexico which fell under the Viceroy. It's poor history to say that Mexico is an invention of the 19th century or that New Mexico is older than Mexico.

And the capital of the Aztec empire was in the Valley of Mexico. No other STATE called itself Mexico. We are talking about political creations, not the names of Valleys. What does it feel like to not even know how to think clearly and come to logical conclusions, clown?
