The Pre-War Flag of Mexico
Mexico
Mexico was a country to the south of the United States. While it was never annexed as Canada was, the US, seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, put a lot of pressure on Mexico in 2051 and finally invaded it, though presumably never annexed it.
If the Fallout world is seen as a continuous world of the 50s and 60s, then Mexico would likely have been a prosperous nation due to the substantial economic growth they experienced that some historians termed the "Mexican miracle." It is unknown if this benefit remained when the Resource Wars broke out or after being annexed by the US.
The Fallout NPC Tycho had traveled to Mexico. The Fallout: New Vegas companion Raul Tejada was born in Mexico and witnessed the Great War destroy Mexico City. A small group of Mexicans also made their way into Zion Canyon, in Utah, but were savagely murdered by the escapees from Vault 22.
Timeline
- 2042 - A major earthquake takes place in Mexico City. The Mr. Handy general construction robot becomes the leader in sales in Mexico (source: Mr. Handy design document)
- 2051 - Seeking to protect business interests and their oil supply, the United States began to exert increasing pressure on Mexico, citing the political instability and pollution stemming from Mexico as a threat to the United States. Various economic sanctions served to destabilize Mexico, and the United States military entered Mexico to keep the oil refineries running and ensure that oil and fuel continued to make their way north across the border (at Mexico's expense). (appears in the Fallout Bible timeline)
- October 23rd, 2077 - Mexico is nuked, along with most of the planet. Mexico City is hit and destroyed by nuclear weapons.
- Some time after the war - New California Republic takes over Baja, although does not have enough control to annex it into the Republic.
- 2281 - New California Republic sends Rangers to Baja and sends troops from there to the Mojave Wasteland.
