i did not knew that . even when this date is not remember in Mexico whit a big party we remember it as a very important date . for those who don't know Benito Juarez was the best president Mexico has ever had and the first elected democratically he was president at the same time that Santana was president.this happened because Santana did not accept he having lost against Benito and Benito was forced to declare himself president because he was the real one. this happened for some years and everytime that Santana was at anyplace Benito was somewhere else .although both had their base and had their own capital of Mexico . Benito's capital was queretaro and Santana's was Mexico city. even today queretaro has a great importance in Mexico and is considered the second most important city of Mexico and the substitute in case that Mexico city stopped being so. \nbenito had also a frace which make him famous around the world and was the most respeted president of his time.\nNOTE FOR TILDA :\nthat thing ur smoking must be strong .\nSAY NOT TO DRUGS. EAT VEGETABLES AND FRUITS. EMPLOYEES WASH UR HANDS BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK.\n\n" between the individuals and the nations the right to respec each other is the peace".

Depends on which Mexican protest you re talking about.....\n\nMexico is protesting the plans to build new walls and send the National Guard to the 2,000-mile (3,200-km) border that hundreds of thousands of Mexicans sneak across every year in search of jobs.\n\nThousands of anti-government demonstrators marched through this tense colonial city on Sunday, demanding the security forces abandon camps they set up last week to end a five-month protest.The protests began in May when teachers struck for better pay and conditions in one of Mexico's poorest states. When police violently broke up one of their demonstrations in June, protesters expanded their demands to include the ouster of Oaxaca Gov. Ulises Ruiz, whom they accuse of rigging the 2004 election that brought him to power.\n\nPoll protests block Mexico City\nThe left-wing candidate in Mexico's disputed election, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and his backers are occupying the capital's main square and avenues.

Do you mean cinco de mayo?  It's when the Mexican army defeated the French at la Batalla de Puebla in 1862.

Let's get clear some points:\n1) Mexico declare the war of independence from Spain on september 15th, 1810. Won its independence (from Spain) on september 21st, 1821.\n\n2) Mexican forces fought against the invader troops of France and won the Battle of Puebla, on May 5th, 1862. That date is celebrated since then, and nowadays it's when the mexican men, during the military service, make an oath of allegiance to the flag and country, gaining citizenship. \n\n3) Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg was overthrow and killed on 1867.

Nothing New About It\n\nhttp://www.limitstogrowth.org/WEB-text/aztlan.html\n\nIn 1997, then-President Zedillo proclaimed that \n“I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation \nextends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the ''conquista,'' \nSpain tried to impose on Mexico \na common western language, religion, and culture, \nand to the degree it was successful.  \nIt was also anti-American.  \nWe should remember \nthat the Spaniards were building the great cathedral \nat the Zocolo in Mexico City \na hundred years before George Washington \ntook control of the Continental Army \nat Cambridge, Massachusetts.  \nHere are two different world views, sharing the same continent.\n\nIn his article, Clash of Civilizations?, \nSamuel P. Huntington reminds us \nthat cultural differences may cause future wars, \nand that these wars will be along cultural ''fault lines.''  \n\nThe U. S.--Mexican border is one of those fault lines.  \n\nHuntington writes, \n''Civilization identity will be increasingly important in the future,\nand the world will be shaped in large measure \nby the interactions among seven or eight major civilizations \n\nThe most important conflicts of the future \nwill occur along the cultural fault lines \nseparating these civilizations from one another.'' \n\nIn regard to Mexico, Huntington writes, \n''During the past decade, \nMexico has assumed a position \nsomewhat similar to that of Turkey. \nJust as Turkey abandoned its historic opposition to Europe \nand attempted to join Europe, \nMexico has stopped defining itself \nby its opposition to the United States \nand is instead attempting to imitate the United States.''  \nHowever, \nunlike Canada, \nMexico has a large, nonwestern, indigenous population \nthat has not yet been integrated into modernity.  \nThis native population also carries \nan unconscious weight of resentment \ntowards the Spanish conquest, \nwhich it now mistakenly displaces onto the U. S. \n\nMexico's indigenous population \nis one of the contemporary strains in that society.  \nSub-Comandante Marcos \nand the uprising in Chiapas of indigenous people \nis a prediction of what is to come in Mexico \nif that strain cannot be relieved.\n  \nThe Mexican elites have decided, therefore, \nto reduce this strain by sending north \nas many poor and jobless Mexicans as they can.  \nInstead of solving their own problems, \nwhich might entail a reduction of their status, \nthe ruling Mexican elites have decided to keep the fiesta going\nand let the U. S. handle the cleanup. \n\nA top adviser \nto past Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari \ndescribed to Huntington all the changes \nthe Salinas government was making.  \nWhen the advisor finished, Huntington remarked: \n''That's most impressive.  \nIt seems to me that basically you want to change Mexico \nfrom a Latin American country into a North American country.''\nHe looked at me with surprise and exclaimed: \n''Exactly!  \nThat's precisely what we are trying to do, \nbut of course we could never say so publicly.'' \n \nWhat also could not be said publicly \nis that Mexico wants to reclaim its ''lost'' territory.  \nIt will use economics and illegal immigrants to do this.\n\nMany Mexican elites believe that to become a modern nation,\nMexico has to restructure its economy \nand regain the territory it lost during the first Mexican war.  \nFor over a century, \nMexican nationalists have used the myths and symbols \nof a lost but glorious indigenous past \nto motivate its plans for expansion. \n \nD. H. Lawrence wrote about this myth building in his novel, \nThe Plumed Serpent. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf the ''reconquista'' continues unchecked \nfor the next twenty years, \nthe U. S. will be a fundamentally different society than it is today.\n\nThere will be more poverty and low-wage jo

Mexico is becoming less and less socialist and more capitalist all the time, so the prospect of the country following Central America´s example is low.  What will the US do for wage slaves?  If anything, wages will be forced to go up and citizens and legal residents will reap the benefits.

Too bad those of us here legally don't get together and boycott and see how that affects things.  What was the important effect - people off work, kids staying out of school away from their free education.  They should be in Mexico parading and boycotting for their own Country to change for the better.

History has a strange way of changing with time. You will see how history changes if you do some research in old history books that were once used in classrooms. \nSoon after the Mexican war, classroom history books blame the entire war on Mexican aggression. By the 1890s, the history books had an entirely different slant. By then, it was described as a race war that the U.S. had to engage in because of Manifest Destiny. That slant was very similar to Hitler's concept in Germany. By the 1960s, a very new story was told. There it was described as being started by the USA simply to grab land.\nThru a 100 and some odd years, the history of the Mexican war did a 180 degree shift from Mexico being the aggressor to the USA being the aggressor.\nTo answer your question, you really can't believe history as it is written anymore than you can believe Fox news. It's all slanted to suit someone's interest.

The whole mexican revolution is a bit complex, at least for me. During the election of 1910, Francisco I. Madero was jailed and Porfirio Díaz was declared winner of the elections. The vigilance in Madero’s imprisionment was quite relaxed and Madero escaped without problems, he issued his Plan de San Luis Potosí from San Antonio, Texas, declared the elections null and called for a revolution in November 20th, Díaz was overthrown in a few months and went to France where he died, Madero took the Mexican presidency.\n\nThe real revolts started AFTER Madero took power as president. Zapata wasn’t happy with Madero’s performance and announced his Plan the Ayala, his idea was to take the land from the rich and give it to the poor, the civil war started. Madero was betrayed by his commander in chief Victoriano Huerta (a conspiracy with US Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson) and was killed. Huerta was declared President, Venustiano Carranza, the Coahuila State Governor, didn’t recognize Huerta and declared war, to that side joined Pancho Villa, Álvaro Obregón and Emiliano Zapata, Huerta escaped to Spain, when he tried to come back, he was arrested in the US and died in jail. Venustiano Carranza became president, but Zapata and Villa fought him (a lot of changing sides, huh?), he was elected president again in 1917 and made the Constitution of 1917 (which is the present Constitution of México).\n\nCarranza killed Zapata in 1919, Álvaro Obregón and Plutarco Elías Calles raised against Carranza (another side change) and killed Carranza in 1920, new elections were celebrated and Obregón was declared president. At that point there were still scattered battlers, according to some records, some people didn’t even know why or who they were fighting. Since the new Constitution declared the full separation of church and state, including in education, a new war started in 1926, the so called “Guerra Cristera”, which was basically a war between Catholic Church supporters and the laic government. This war ended around 1929.\n\nSo, for some, the revolution ended in 1920, with Carranza’s dead. For others it ended with la Guerra Cristera in 1929, for others it ended with Cárdenas taking power as president in 1934 and ultimately, for others, the revolution hasn’t ended yet.
