I put this in this forum because it requires a pre-1900 POD to be accomplished. What would have to happen to have Mexico advance into lower first-world status (I guess say Portugal or Greece or perhaps even Ireland)? If that's impossible then say like modern-day Argentina or Chile, except better. I'm kind of assuming that the disastrous wars with the U.S. still happen and the Yanquis annex all the land up to the Rio Grande as in history.
