Definition of Peso

The term "peso" originates from Spanish and has an interesting background. It comes from "pesos de oro," meaning "gold weights," and "pesos de plata," referring to "silver weights."

Mexico's Independence from Spain

The Mexican War of Independence, which occurred from 1810 to 1821, was a significant and courageous struggle. It witnessed Mexican revolutionaries revolting against Spanish colonial rule, leading to the eventual liberation of the nation and the establishment of Mexico as an independent country.
