The Mexican State of Chiapas

In the history of Mexico's Chiapas, progress in cultural protection and development has always been a contradictory ambition. Especially Mexico has witnessed intense conflict between the old and new worlds since the European explorers stepped into the American land in 1492. In particular, Chiapas in Mexico rejects past Mayan culture. 500 years, the Zapatista revolution that began on New Year's Eve in 1994. The purpose of this paper is to explore the chronology of Mayan political and educational autonomy struggle and the details of historical reforms over the past decade.

Chiapas has been one of Mexico's regions of least concern in the Mexican revolutionary reforms for many years. In January 1994, the Zapatista National Liberation Army caused a revolt against the state of Chiapas in Mexico. It announced that it is an indigenous sport and received the strongest and oldest support from Cheia Panmaya. Today, the number of supporters is important. (See also the confrontation between EZLN and Chiapas.) The most traditional Maya group is Rakandon, a small group of people who avoided contact with outsiders through a small group living in Rakhandon's jungle in the second half of the 20th century. These Lacandon Maya came from the Campeche / Petén region (northeast of Chiapas) and moved into the Lacandon tropical rainforest at the end of the 18th century.

The current state of Chiapas in Mexico is divided equally between Mayan Maque in the West and Maya in the East, and this distribution continues until Spain's conquest. Just before conquest, the highlands of Guatemala were ruled by several powerful Mayan countries. Over the centuries before the arrival of the Spanish, K'iche 'made a small empire covering most of the highlands of the Pacific Rim adjacent to the western Guatemala. However, in the late 15th century, Kaqchikel established a new kingdom southeast with Iximche as the capital, rebellious against K'iche's side in front of them. In the decades before the Spanish invasion, the Kingdom of Kaqchikel has eroded K'iche's kingdom. Other highland groups include Tz'utujil around Lake Atitlan, Mam of the Western Highlands and Poqomam of the Eastern Highlands. Near Commitan Tojo Laval residential area

The last factor affecting the regional economy is steady depreciation expenses of Mexican peso. For decades, Guatemalans from highlands will travel to Chiapas in southern Mexico. And it border with Guatemala and work at a coffee farm. However, as the peso weakens, Guatemalan people are beginning to get less quetz as they change their income and bring back their wages. In 2000, all Guatemalan workers got 100 Mexican pesos and converted it to about 80 quarters; in 2010, 100 pesos can only convert to 60 quarts did. Considering Charles transportation costs, these annual trips to Chiapas are no longer profitable for Guatemalans living far away from the borders.
