Puerto Rican-born entertainer
Rita Moreno is the only female

Emmy, Tony, and Grammy Awards.
When the Spanish conquistador
Hernán Cortés arrived in Mexico
in 1519, the Aztecs welcomed
him because they believed him
to be Quetzalcóatl, a god who
according to legend was to one
day return to the Aztecs
from the east.
The fateful meeting between
Cortes and Aztec King
Moctezuma II.
Cinco de Mayo celebrates
the Mexican victory over the
French at the battle of Pueblo
on May 5, 1862. The Mexican
army was able to defeat the
French army that was three
times as large and much
better equipped.
The U.S.-Mexican War ended
with the Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, in which Mexico
gave up 55% of its land in
exchange for $15 million.
This land today forms parts
of the U.S. states of Texas,
Colorado, Wyoming, New
Mexico & Arizona and the
entire states of Utah,
Nevada & California.
St. Augustine, Florida --
founded by Don Pedro
Menendez de Aviles in
1565 -- was the first permanent
European settlement on the
North American continent.
