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]]. | Prior to European exploration and colonization, the lands that Pacífica makes up were once inhabited by many Native American tribes.
