Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Establishment of Maximilian´s Empire in Mexico The long continued chaos in the internal affairs of Mexico constituted the excuse for the intervention of England, Spain and France in 1861. The key to the conditions which allowed brigands and guerillas to infest the highways to the danger of foreigners, drove leaders of factions to disregard the rights of property, and forced the breaking of inters national obligations, lay in the long struggle for the separation of church and state which had begun in 1833, almost thirty years before, when Santa Anna for the first time as president of Mexico. After the disavowed action of his liberal vice-president, Valentine Gomez Farias, in securing the passage of the first laws of reform, the Conservatives with the cry "Religion y Fueros" began their struggle against innovation and progress, the result of the rising tide of Mexican liberalism, and the dissemination of education. Finally the liberals seemed to have won success by the establishment of a constitution on February 5, 1857, modelled on that of the United States. However, some of its provisions as to church lands and the trial of clerics and soldiers by military law led to the revolt of the Conservatives. Comonfort, the Liberal president, proved traitor. He was soon replaced by a reactionary, General Zuloaga, and for three years the country was a prey to civil war between two rival governments the Republicans at Vera Cruz under Benito Juarez, who as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court according to the Constitution succeeded Comonfort, and the reactionaries at the capitol presided over first by Zuloaga, who early in 1859 was succeeded by Miguel Miramon, the youngest and most brilliant of the reactionary leaders.
