In the 1860's it was under French rule. You are welcome. 
 What countries are on its southern border? 
 That's very interesting. Can you tell me anything about where the name Mexico came from or anything else about its etymology? 
 I do not have the exact origin of Mexico, but I can tell you that two separate times in the country's history is was known as Imperio Mexicano which translates to the Mexican Empire. This was from 1821-1823 and then again from 1863-1867. 
 Good Morning. I would be happy to help you with that. Along with Canda and the United States, Mexico helps makes up North America.
