@@mathewvanostin7118 I think you forget how great of allies the French & US were... That would've made zero sense.

My understanding from watching Mexican videos on the subject is that the French were in alliance with the Confederacy because they needed the U.S. to fall as the U.S. had installed/enforced the Monroe Doctrine. If the Rebs can beat the Yankees then the French would be able to sustain a French empire in the Americas. That was the plan until “Cinco de Mayo” hit which slowed down the Mexican takeover by France and also allowed time for the U.S. to gain ground over the Confederacy.. The rest is history!

@@alvarocorral1576 An alliance with the confederacy? No proof of that, but Napoleon the Third was very cynical, he hoped the USA would be cut in two, because he feared a too powerfull US, that much is true. There was a convergence of interest, not an actual alliance.

In 1824 Mexico’s authoritarian ruler Agustín de Iturbide enacted a colonization law authorizing the Mexican federal government to allow legal immigration into Texas. This statute allowed foreigners to gain title to land. Mexican liberals argued in favor of allowing foreigners to immigrate. This would satisfy multiple objectives, including promoting economic growth, increasing the number of males available to defend the country, and bringing new capital and skills into the country to replace those lost when many Spaniards were expelled or chose to leave the country. The process for gaining an official land title was expensive and time-consuming, and many residents chose not to have the land surveyed or complete the application process. The Mexican law required immigrants to practice Catholicism and stressed that foreigners needed to learn Spanish and all people wishing to live in Texas were expected to report to the nearest Mexican authority for permission to settle. Many Americans immigrated to Mexico, where land was cheaper. A few Americans who had become naturalized Mexicans settled in Texas during that time. Most of the immigrants came from the southern United States. Immigration of United States had begun to accelerate rapidly. The new population was not fully assimilated and by 1826, approximately 3,000 Americans from the United States were living illegally in Texas. Most of the immigrants came from the southern United States. Many were slave owners, and most brought with them significant prejudices against other races, attitudes often applied to the Tejanos. Most Anglo Americans tried to isolate themselves from Mexicans. By 1830, Texas had a population of 7,000 foreign-born residents, with only 3,000 Mexican nationals. In regard to slavery, influential settler Stephen F. Austin, who reasoned that the success of his colonies needed slave labor and the economics it produced to lure more whites to the area. Anglos from the United States soon vastly outnumbered the Tejanos. Mexican authorities became increasingly concerned about the stability of the region.The colonies teetered at the brink of revolt in 1829, after Mexico abolished slavery. In response, President Anastasio Bustamante implemented the Laws of April 6, 1830, which, among other things, prohibited further immigration to Texas from the United States, increased taxes, and reiterated the ban on slavery. The law explicitly banned any further immigration from the United States to Texas and any new slaves. The new Law rescinded all empresario contracts that had not been completed and prohibited Americans from settling in any Mexican territory adjacent to the United States. Secretary of State Lucas Alamán, who wrote the 1830 law, said that "Texas will be lost for this Republic if adequate measures to save it are not taken. Law of April 6, 1830 under President Anastasio Bustamante was issued because the Mexican state of Texas was in danger of being annexed by the United States. New issued settlement contracts were brought under federal rather than state control. Provisions of the law were designed to encourage Mexican citizens to move from the interior to Texas. Mexicans who agreed to relocate to Texas would get good land, free transportation to Texas, and some financial assistance. Convicts would be sent to Texas to build fortifications and roads to stimulate trade. The lack of a formal policy had not stopped many immigrants. Settlers simply circumvented or ignored the laws. A number of people had left the United States to settle in the Mexican northern provinces.The ban and other measures did not stop US citizens from migrating to Texas by the thousands, and by 1834, it was estimated that over 30,000 Anglos lived in Texas, compared to only 7,800 Mexican-born residents. Mexican authorities noted that slave reforms passed by the state were being ignored. By the end of 1835, almost 5,000 enslaved Africans and African Americans lived in Texas, making up 13 percent of the non-Indian population (The Mexican rules were widely disregarded and slavery remained in Texas until the end of the American Civil War).The attitudes of the immigrants prompted the Mexican-American War on February 2nd 1848, in which Mexico lost almost 55 percent of its territory to the United States drawing a bullshit line trough territory that used to be nothing but Mexico and some of these territories we know currently as Arizona,NewMexico,Texas,Nevada and of course California. All of those states used to be absolutely Mexico! so now you have people who are indigenous here who were made foreigners on there own land.

Actually Juarez moved the capital around the country multiple times during that period, even my hometown, the small city of Colima was the capital for a few months.

Yep, but USA made sure not to commit the same mistake, holding the capital would mean shit when they'd get surrounded, holding all of Mexico would never happen, so they took land n set terms to stop Mexico from ever becoming too powerful.. USA still fears that till this day..lol

Putin forgot the story about being obsessed over another's capital.

@Constantine The Great In 1854, Grant had been a soldier out West and had written in a letter to his wife, "It really is my opinion that the whole race [Native Americans] would be harmless and peaceable if they were not put upon by the whites." And upon election to the presidency in December, 1869, Grant said in address to Congress, "A system which looks to the extinction of a race is too abhorrent for a nation to indulge in." This lead to what is referred to as Grant's "Peace Policy". Upon Grant's first term as President, he erroneously believed that placing Native Americans on Reservations and getting them to "practice agricultural lifestyles" would be the best way to protect them. However, this was never something that the Western Plains Nations wanted as their culture revolved around hunting and a more nomadic lifestyle. During his first term Grant appointed Ely Parker to head the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the first Native American to ever hold such a high government position. By 1870, Grant had worked with Eli Parker to try to get Native Tribes recognized as semi-independent states under the US government, but many tribes outright rejected this approach, wanting full sovereignty. And then, the Railroad companies began to lobby Congress, in which Congress right out broke many of the treaties they had signed with Native American Tribes. By his second term, Grant's peace policy has entirely fallen apart. Eli Parker had resigned from Commissioner of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Grant had lost friendship with General William T. Sherman, who believed that Native Americans needed to be "brought to heel or destroyed". Indeed, Grant's relationship with the Native American Tribes would be complicated, a stain on his reputation and his presidency.

He supported opening schools and academic’s research to save Indigenous Mexican heritage and languages, as well all of Mexico’s heritages. He asked his brother the Austrian emperor to also send Moctezuma II’s penacho. The Americans destroyed it all, once again. And the useful idiot Liberals of Mexico helped.

Yes, Peter II / Pedro II (Brazil) was a cousin of Emperor Maximiliano / Maximilian (Mexico)

a/ During the 2nd French intervention in Mexico (1861-1867), Mexico didn't really win the war militarily against France. France won militarily (and conquered a big part of the country with only ~78 k troops (of which only ~38 k troops were actually French tho (there were also about 16 to 24 k Mexican fighters fighting for the French)) until the USA ended their civil war and made pressure on France to stop what they were doing in Mexico. Since there were worrying signs in Europe (defeat of Denmark against Prussia in 1864, deafeat of Austria against Prussia in 1866) it didn't seem wise to keep on waging a war on the other side of the planet any longer and France left the 2nd Mexican Empire on its own. b/ the 1st French intervention in Mexico (1838-39) aka the Pastry War, was won by France. 5 de Mayo is about the Mexican victory against the French in Puebla in 1862, which was near the beginning of the war. Not only the French got Puebla, but it got Mexico city, Chihuahua, Monterrey, Acapulco, etc...

We in Mexico actually appreciate quite a lot his figure, even the liberals at his time. It was truly a tragedy. His beliefs were practically the same as Juárez', but they could've never let him live. If not there was always going to be a claim to the throne. A message needed to be sent out to everyone that Mexico was indeed a republic and an independent state. It is said that Juárez wept when he found out he was shot, dépité having passed the verdict and knowing he indeed had to die. They were both part of the same branch of the freemasons, and believed in civil rights and fundamental freedoms. Later Benito Juárez made sure to maintain the history of Maximilian, particularly his good traits and his liberal ideas, and above all his love for Mexico. He continued many civil works Maximilian had begun and he made emphasis on how the French betrayed him and left him out to die. Maximilian is a curious character in history, a reminder that not all history is black and white, but rather a spectrum of greys.

¿Es en serio?, Quizá, a los "mexicanos" que has conocido son de ideología conservadora, es decir pro-extranjeros (de los típicos prianistas, que consideran que todo lo que diga un extranjero es mejor que lo expuesto por un mexicano). Y tal vez, "odio" no exista hacia ese individuo que mencionas, sin embargo, el 99% de la gente común (el pueblo y no gente de clase privilegiada) inmediatamente te dirá que Juárez (como presidente legalmente constituido que era) hizo lo correcto al defender la soberanía de México, ante una invasión (pues eso fue lo que hizo Francia y su enviado austriaco que mencionas).

You’re right on that; Mexican head of states have been all shades of gray. Never black and white. Juarez was not very nice with his own people, partícula indigenous people, he kissed the United States butt a little too much BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND I’ll be forever grateful towards him for creating the laws of Reforma where he stated SEPARATION OF “CHURCH AND STATE”, Mexico had been suffocated by Catholicism in many ways. Maximiliano was kind of weak BUT ON THE OTHER HAND he really respected and loved the indigenous people of Mexico, he wanted good things for the country. He first came up with the frase “¡Viva México!” At the moment of his execution.
