 | | Politically, the government's interpretation of events --that the Mexican Revolution defended itself against a reactionary clergy allied with prerevolutionary elites, both of which were trying to block progress and justice and were willing to invoke foreign intervention--has assumed greater importance as the Revolution became institutionalized and less revolutionary. | | | The cristeros were not as concerned about the ideological questions involved as they were about preserving what they believed to be their rights. | | | Although he is more sympathetic toward the Mexican government, Larin denies that it was anything more than a bourgeois government. |

| | The Mexican War |
| | The Mexicans did not attack because the Centralist government was collapsing. | | | Many Centralists believed that abolitionists' objections to the war would demoralize the United States, and some Centralists believed a Mexican invasion would be supported by a massive slave uprising. | | | Simply stated, a dictatorial Centralist government in Mexico began the war because of the U.S. annexation (1845) of Texas, which Mexico continued to claim despite the establishment of the independent republic of Texas 10 years before. |

| | The History Guy: The U.S.-Mexican War (1846-1848) |
| | Both nations sent troops to enforce the competing claims, and a tense standoff ensued. | | | The fact that most of those areas already had people living upon them was usually ignored, with the attitude that democratic English-speaking America, with its high ideals and Protestant Christian ethics, would do a better job of running things than the Native Americans or Spanish-speaking Catholic Mexicans. | | | The belief that the U.S. basically had a God-given right to occupy and "civilize" the whole continent gained favor as more and more Americans settled the western lands. |

| | LTG: Mexico's Plans for the U.S. |
| | This article has a thorough, stunning account of Mexican hypocrisy around immigration — Mexico's own laws are anti-bilingual and pro-sovereignty (Mexico's, that is), with no benefits for illegals, who are summarily deported. | | | In the case of the former Yugoslavia, revanchism was the excuse for genocide. | | | As government professor George Grayson remarks, "If Singapore could lease Mexico for 20 years, Americans soonwould be complaining about the 'colossus of the South.'" LTG believes that the Mexican people will not shake off their shackles of economic repression until the USA closes down the border to force the long overdue social and economic changes. |

| | Mexican Immigration |
| | Mexican immigration to the United States is at once paradigmatic of a new globalized immigration system—dominated by large numbers of peoples from the “south” moving to wealthier centers in the “north”—and unique. | | | First, a growing body of research suggests that economic restructuring and the sociocultural changes taking place in the Americas virtually insure that Mexican immigration to the United States will be a long-term phenomenon. | | | This underscores the economic clout that the Mexican-origin population in the U.S. has in Mexico. |

| | In respects, Poinsett's decision to employ Masonry as a tool of his interventionist policies was the start of that long involvement of Masonry with Mexican politics which has been regarded so ambiguously by scholars as far as its good and bad effects have been concerned. | | | What _is_ true is that a predominantly Protestant and democratic United States was suspicious of what had been a narrowly Catholic and aristocratic neighbor, wary of increasing British presence in Mexico, and alarmed about Mexican intentions in Cuba. | | | The ramifications of this apparently minor matter of which Masonic ritual and obedience would reverberate for more than a century. |

| | Refuting this "Mexico's Fault" theory even more is the fact that the government of Mexico at this time was in a period of chaos (Garraty and Gay 811). | | | The question of Texan annexation would not have come up if there had not already been Americans settling and causing problems (from the Mexican perspective) in Texas. | | | The forward thinking settlers simply presumed that America would eventually assume their new lands. |

| | La Malinche (article) |
| | Mexicans just walk right by, shunning the place because of its historical associations and popular fears of the ghosts that supposedly stalk any visitors who dare to go inside. | | | Some Mexican feminists say she is even at the root of much of the disdain Mexican men display toward Mexican women, expressed in the country's high rates of infidelity and domestic violence. | | | But even though Mexican and Mexican-American intellectuals have begun to rethink her meaning, La Malinche is for the most part portrayed as the perpetrator of Mexico's original sin and as a cultural metaphor for all that is wrong with Mexico. |

| | Mexican Independence |
| | The stage for the upheaval and dissatisfaction that gave rise to Mexican independence was set by political and economic changes in Europe and its American colonies of the late 18th and 19th centuries. | | | In an armed attack on the palace, Peninsulares arrested Iturrigaray and replaced him with puppet Pedro Garibay after which they carried out bloody reprisals against Criollos who were suspected of disloyalty. | | | From its inception the colonial government of New Spain was dominated by Spanish born Peninsulares or Guachapins, who held most leadership positions in the church and government, in contrast to Mexican-born Criollos (Creoles) who were the ten to one majority. |
