JUAN PRIM AND Prast
MEXICO AND MID-CENTURY SPAIN XIX
On the situation in Spain, I refer to previous entries on the war against Peru. The fledgling Republic of Mexico, born in 1823 after independence from Spain in September 1821 and ephemeral empire of Agustín de Iturbide lived like other Latin American countries a few years violence and civil war prior to its definitive consolidation . The displacement of the old oligarchies had not occurred. Two major political groups struggled for control of State: conservatives and federalists . The former were supporters of Catholicism and the new colonial order . The second carried the anticlericalism and consolidation of the bourgeois revolution as standards.
This violent historical moment was seized by the United States to wrest Texas in 1845 and, using its overwhelming victory, after the peace agreement in 1848, managed to pocket the current Yankees States of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado , Nevada and Utah. Santa Anna was defeated and the feds were to take advantage.
In 1854 he gave the Ayutla Plan laying emulated the English ecclesiastical confiscation of Mendizabal and also sought the separation of church and state . Large and rich lands were in the spotlight of the radical bourgeoisie and were confiscated.
In 1857, reformers gathered in the city of Queretaro, accepted the Oaxacan indigenous Benito Juarez as president. Proclaimed a new constitution. Conservatives were not going to sit back and gave a coup initiated the call War of Reform (1858-1861) . Conservatives were
supported by Spain, France and Britain and were led by Miguel Miramon . Reformists, meanwhile, had the support of the United States were led by Juárez.
Until December 1860 the Conservatives took power, the month in which the defeated federal Miramon entering Mexico City, pushing conservatives to guerrilla warfare.
This chronic anarchy originated a substantial debt to those European countries, especially Spain. With Spain's conservative government was negotiating the payment, but after the victory reformist President Juarez expelled the English ambassador in January 1861 and refused to pay of that debt. While acts of violence were given against the English residents and the consequent expropriation of their property during the coming months.

The three European states affected by the default and impending civil war taking advantage of the United States and the inhibition of their possible involvement with the joint Anglo-French-English signed a treaty in London (October 1861) . In its article 2 clearly specified that neither party sought a territorial annexation, but several Mexican ports deal to secure payment.
The war was served.
