Prior to European exploration and colonization, the lands that Pacífica makes up were once inhabited by many Native American tribes. After Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas, Spanish colonists and explorers began colonizing and exploring the Pacífican regions. Pacífica, known as California at the time, was under the control of Spain until 1820, when Mexico won its independence from Spain and asserted control over the region. In 1844, American Californians rose up against the Mexican government and won independence in 1846. After years of debate, on May 5th, 1848, the Constitution of Pacífica was implemented, creating the Kingdom of Pacífica. Since its foundation, Pacífica has been a major power in North America, participating in the [[Third American War]], [[First World War (Disunited States)|First World War]], the [[Second World War (Disunited States)|Second World War]], and the [[Cold War (Disunited States)|Cold War]]. | |||
Pacífica has enjoyed friendly relations with most North American nations, being a historic ally to the [[American Empire]] and [[Hawaiian Islands]]. Despite this, Pacífica has been at odds with [[Mexico (Disunited States}|Mexico]] (because of Mexico's claim on its former land) and Austria (because of Pacífica's support of the restoration of the Austrian Monarchy). Pacífica is a founder and member of the [[North American Union]] and {{w|United Nations}}, and member of the [[Pacific Atlantic Treaty Organization]]. | |||

In 1821, the Mexican Empire won its independence from Spain in the Mexican War of Independence. As a result, Spain lost a majority of its territory in North America and ceased to be a major power in the continent. During its time under Mexico, California, or “Alta California” was a sparsely populated administrative region. In 1834, land controlled by the Californian missions, which made up most of the best land in the region, was acquired by the Mexican government after they were secularized. | In 1821, the Mexican Empire won its independence from Spain in the Mexican War of Independence.
