Mexico has frequently been a rarity as a mover and shaker in alternate history timelines, in spite of its very strategic position in the New World. It has a lot of potential with some butterflies.Unfortunately, U d not have much in the way of knowledge when it come to Central American history or culture.
So....I have a two fold question. First...what would it take to allow Mexico to develop into an industrialized power in the New World by the 20th Century. POD can be almost anytime, though reason suggests it would be sometime after colonization, for obvious reasons. Preferably one with the potential of one of the larger European powers, such as France, or even Germany.
Second, I am interested in how some form of "Native Nazism" that can animate this state. Since one of the chief draws to the Nazis as villains include the mystique they have as a result of their association with Germanic paganism and the occult. A homegrown version, layered with the symbolism of the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican cultures.
