Well from about 1521 until 1810 it was under the rule of Spain, in 1810 the fought for and won thier independence from Spain. Of course at that time it was known as "La Nueva Espaņa" (New Spain).
Prior to the Spanish Conquest the area was ruled by Aztecs ...
In 1848 they lost Texas and portions of California
But I guess to answer your question I would say Yes...
