"During the colonial period, which lasted from 1521 to 1810, Mexico was known as “Nueva EspaƱa” or “New Spain”, whose territories included today’s Mexico, the Spanish Caribbean islands, Central America as far south as Costa Rica, an area comprising today’s southwestern United States, and the Philippine Islands." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico
