Пиковая историческая территория в Мексика

Mexico's peak historical territory was 2.0 млн тыс. км² — 10th in the world. This area was achieved after independence in 1821, when the First Mexican Empire stretched from modern Costa Rica to Oregon. It included all Central American provinces, Texas, California, and the southwestern United States. After the Mexican-American War (1846–1848), the country lost more than half its territory — about 2.3 million km² went to its northern neighbor. Today's Mexico covers 1.97 million km², retaining only a third of its historical maximum.
