5. Good Neighbors

Mexico and the United States share a border, so it should come as no surprise that the two nations have a close relationship with each other. Many Americans vacation in Mexico each year with some relocating there permanently, while many Mexicans have taken the opportunity to move to America to live there.

In 1933, President Roosevelt wanted to improve the relationship between the two nations and, to help achieve this, he implemented the “Good Neighbor Policy.” To help encourage this, he officially endorsed Cinco de Mayo celebrations in America. Even before the celebrations were recognized by Roosevelt, Mexicans living in America would celebrate it anyway.
