S12.E1 ∙ Chihuahua I, Nacer y crecer en la adversidad

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

Blessed with a vast expanse of territory, where mountains, plains, and deserts converge, from the beginning Chihuahua has been formed by a historical blend of indigenous heritage, Spanish influence and proximity to the southern United States. During the colonial era, the state became a major mining region in New Spain. Attracted by this industry, immigrants endured clashes with Apaches and other rebel tribes. In this first video, we are taken on a historical tour of Chihuahua, a state that has never been immune to national economic and political events such as the cry of Independence, foreign invasions, and the War of Reform; all of which would leave their mark on the local population by forging its tough, maverick character.

S12.E2 ∙ Chihuahua II, el trabajo aguerrido

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

The Mexican Revolution of 1910 arrived in Chihuahua with a bang, important figures such as Pancho Villa, Pascual Orozco, and Abraham González all got their start in Chihuahuan territory. Following the end of the rebellion, post revolutionary Mexico brought with it new trends for the State. Agricultural policies under Álvaro Obregón and Plutarco Elías Calles would be of great relevance, as would the arrival of Mennonites. Thus Chihuahua started out on the path toward agricultural development, becoming a major crop producer. Thanks to its border location, it has consolidated its position as one of Mexicos most dynamic industrial centers, which includes backing technical and college education among state residents. Multicultural, competitive, and modern without forgetting its culture and roots, now, in the 21st century, the state of Chihuahua has blazed a trail into the world.
