Basque Mexican (Spanish: ''vasco-mexicano'' or simply ''vasco'', Euskera: ''euskal-mexikar'') is a Mexican person of full, partial, or predominantly Basque ancestry, or a Basque-born person living in Mexico. Seen in Mexico by the whole Euskalerria concept, basque descendants can be from Navarre, Euskadi or Iparralde. It is one of the most important and numerous groups of European people in Mexico and one of the biggest Basque diasporas in the world. Basques can be found in every corner of Mexico, including names of cities and regions such as: Arriaga in Chiapas, Durango a State, Reynosa and Laredo in Tamaulipas, Arizpe in Sonora, Bernal in Queretaro or Narvarte in Mexico City, and even dating by the colonial times, Arizona has its name for being and extension of the New Navarre in the province of Sonora, and least not mention in California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Oregon and elsewhere of the Western U.S. is the Basque American familial link with Basques in Mexico. ==History== The first Catholic archbishop in Mexico, Juan Zumarraga, was Basque. Francisco Ibarra explored northern Mexico and founded Nueva Vizcaya.〔 Fermín de Francisco Lasuén was the founder of many of the Spanish missions in Alta California. In 1907, the Basque community founded the ''Centro Vasco''. This community consisted of immigrants from Navarre, Gipuzkoa, Biscay and some French Basques. There was a divide between the Basque community: the first group were rural unskilled, economic emigrants that arrived in the late 19th and early 20th century and the other were political exiles of the Spanish Civil War that tended to have technical or academic education. A notable migrant of the former group was Braulio Iriarte who immigrated to Mexico in 1877 with no education or professional experience.〔 He began as an employee in a bakery and after years of hard work he owned 80 bakeries and a mill. This mill, El Euskaro, founded in 1906 was one of the largest in Mexico.〔 He also owned haciendas in Querétaro, mines in Hidalgo, large properties in Mexico City and helped found various corporations, including Grupo Modelo.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basque immigration to Mexico」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
