Unsourced and Dubious Claims in Economic Miracle Section

[edit]

There are some serious problems with this section. Three paragraphs with only one citation, including some drastic claims (“The miracle, moreover, was solidly rooted in government policy…”) with nothing to back them up. Moreover, it’s also self contradictory – what does “high tariffs on imported domestic goods” mean? What is an “imported domestic good?” Another contradiction of this paragraph is the only sourced statement in the section – saying that Mexico’s economic growth was in a large part due to “supplying raw and finished war materials to the Allies.” I would clean this up myself if I knew the material better, but someone definitely needs to take a look at this.

some very long-tagged Citation Needed statements in Aztec Empire section

[edit]

A couple of tags were made well over six years ago and still have not been addressed. These portions could be justifiably removed - SME's please address these statements, thanks.104.169.44.141 (talk) 04:48, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to the spread of Christianity, at the beginning of European contact conversion would've being mostly responsible for the indigenous population becoming Christian. However Christianity eventually became the predominant religion due mainly to the predominance of the mixed race ethnic group gradually absorbing the remaining indigenous tribes in the subsequent years of colonization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.6.181.71 (talk) 01:28, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the early stages of the conquest the armies uprising against the native rulers of the day consisted primarily of other indigenous nations under their rule led by Europeans, a sort civil war of sorts, but that's hardly touched on in the article. In the subsequent years it was the Westernized mixed race people who gradually over the following decades and centuries culturally absorbed, voluntarily or by force, the remaining native tribes rather than 'pure blooded' Europeans who have always been outnumbered when compared to mestizos and indigenous people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.186.134.134 (talk) 09:17, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify, please

[edit]

(French Intervention) The Imperial couple noticed the inequality in Mexican society and pursued policies that favored the Upper Class white Mexicans over the Majority Mestizo and Indigenous peasants.

The first words suggest that they wanted to reduce inequality, but the rest of the statement suggests the opposite. Valetude (talk) 10:52, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Valetude: Clarified I think. Mestizos and Indigenous were irrelevant for the government until the Maximato. (CC) Tbhotch 18:53, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
