Aztlán, also known as the Chicano Nation or Occupied Mexico, is an alleged nation in North America. Historically a part of Mexico, it came under U.S. occupation in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo and developed into a distinct nation. The term 'Aztlán' is derived from the mythical homeland of the Aztecs.[1]
