- The Mexican Revolution And Francisco Madero By:-Robert Nickel
In 1911, after thirty-five years of dictatorial rule by president Porfirio Diaz, the Mexican people had had enough. Angry, fed up and bitter at the administration's corruption, they were incited to rise up and revolt after that year's election, when popular newcomer Francisco Madero "lost" the presidential race in a stunningly obvious case of electoral fraud. This was the beginning of the Mexican Revolution...
- The Invasion Of Mexico By The French By:-Robert Nickel
Much of the political history of Mexico following the War of Independence comes down to two sides: the liberal Republicans and the conservative Imperialists. These factions had squabbled for decades over how the country should be run, and whether it should be a reformed democracy or a religious, highly controlled monarchy. The French invasion of the 1820s was a bloody extension of this fundamental internal disagreement...
- Empress Carlota: Who Was She? By:-Robert Nickel
For a very brief period of time in Mexico's long and turbulent history, they were ruled by Emperor Maximilian I and his consort, Empress Carlota. This regime was doomed to end in a bloody manner almost from the start, as they had been crowned after an invasion by France and were stuck in between an unfairly deposed liberal party and the conservative conspirators who disliked their practices.
- Benito Juarez's Incredible Work By:-Robert Nickel
A great deal of Mexico's liberal reforms in the 19th century - the separation of church and state, the proclamation of all citizens as equal in the eyes of the law and the establishment of a market-driven social system, among other things, would not have been possible without the leadership of Benito Juarez. Once an illiterate shepherd, this Zapotec native rose to become a lawyer and eventually ended up involved in some of the most important...
- The Battle Of Puebla And Cinco De Mayo By:-Robert Nickel
Why does the United States celebrate every May 5, or Cinco de Mayo? It's only a regional holiday in Mexico, and is often mistaken to be the commemoration of their Independence Day (which is actually in September). The roots of these festivities go back to the French invasion in 1862, and a decisive initial victory against Napoleon III's forces.
- The Emperor Of Mexico: Maximilian By:-Robert Nickel
It might not be a commonly known fact, but Mexico was, at two separate points, a monarchy; each reign lasted less than five years and was filled with revolts, infighting, and puppet rulers. The first Mexican Empire took place shortly after the country won its independence from Spain in 1821, but collapsed less than eight months after its establishment. The second attempt was the result of Napoleon III's invasion in 1862...
- The Aztec Triple Alliance - A History By:-Robert Nickel
The Aztec people of Mexico had a massive empire that dominated much of the country for almost 300 years, right up until the conquest of the land by Spanish explorers in the 1520s. Part of the reason for their rise to power was the triple alliance of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan, three of the largest cities in the Valley at the time. It formed in 1428 and helped the civilization to expand and become legendary.

- John Edwards: When Values Misalign By:-Valery Satterwhite
