Although Mexico today was over 113 Million people living there, things werent always so easy. Mexico originally officially inhabited by five major civilizations; the Olmec, Maya , Teotihuqcan, Toltec and the Aztec. In the year 1519 what is today Mexico City was Mexico- Tenochtitian was the captial the population at this time was 30,000 and it was the largest city in the world. This was until Francsico Hernandez de Cordoba who lead the first European expepdition this ended after a battle in town of Champotun against a Maya army. This along with welfare and smallpoxs affected the population significantly. The Aztecs were forced to relocate to form a new city due to this, it was concidered " new Spain." Due to the Mexican war of Independence from Spain and the Mexican American War of 1846-1848, this changed the population to what it is today

For this pyramid which shows the population in 2010, it shows that the number of females and males are about the same up until ages 35-39. In that time frame there was a few more females at this time. Then it starts to even back out , towards the age of 85-90 is when the population was at the lowest for both genders.

In the 1950's the population was much greater.Again males and females were about equal. The greatest population was between the ages 0-4 and did not start getting real small until the ages 55-69. On this pyramid it is alot more of a slope than in other time periods.
