Reform War
The Reform War, or War of Reform ( es, Guerra de Reforma), also known as the Three Years' War ( es, Guerra de los Tres Años), was a civil war in Mexico lasting from January 11, 1858 to January 11, 1861, fought between liberals and conservatives, over the promulgation of Constitution of 1857, which had been drafted and published under the presidency of Ignacio Comonfort. The constitution had codified a liberal program intended to limit the political, economic, and cultural power of the Catholic Church; separate church and state; reduce the power of the Mexican Army by elimination of the ''fuero''; strengthen the secular state through public education; and economically develop the nation. The constitution had been promulgated on February 5, 1857 with the intention of coming into power on September 16, only to be confronted with extreme opposition from Conservatives and the Catholic Church over its anti-clerical provisions, most notably the Lerdo law, which forced the sale of mo ...

Conservative Party (Mexico)
The Conservative Party ( es, Partido Conservador) was one of two major factions in Mexican political thought that emerged in the years after independence, the other being the Liberals. At various times and under different circumstances they were known as '' escoceses'', ''centralists'', ''royalists'', ''imperialists'', or ''conservatives'', but they tended to be united by the theme of preserving colonial Spanish values, while not being opposed to the economic development and modernization of the nation. Their base of support was the army, the , and the Catholic Church. While containing a noted monarchist element which ended up resulting in multiple efforts to establish a monarchy in Mexico, the conservatives were not always averse to the republican form of government, but they supported the movement to have a centralized republic as opposed to a federal republic. With the fall of the Second Mexican Empire the conservatives suffered a decisive defeat, and the party ceased to e ...

Liberal Party (Mexico)
The Liberal Party ( es, Partido Liberal, PL) was a political coalition that emerged in Mexico after independence. Strongly influenced by French Revolutionary thought, and the republican institutions of the United States, it championed the principles of 19th century liberalism, and promoted republicanism, federalism, and anti-clericalism. They were opposed by the Conservatives. The federalist Constitution of 1824 represented a triumph for liberal thought, and during the era of the First Mexican Republic, the party's chief ideologists were Lorenzo de Zavala and José María Luis Mora. When President Valentin Gomez Farias sought to pursue an anti-clerical campaign in 1833, among other liberal reforms, his government was overthrown, and the triumphant conservatives replaced the constitution with the Siete Leyes inaugurating a decade of the Centralist Republic of Mexico. By the time the federalist constitution was restored during the Mexican American War, a new generation of liberals ...

History Of Mexico
The written history of Mexico spans more than three millennia. First populated more than 13,000 years ago, central and southern Mexico (termed Mesoamerica) saw the rise and fall of complex indigenous peoples of Mexico, indigenous civilizations. Mexico would later develop into a unique multicultural society. Mesoamerican civilizations developed glyphic Mesoamerican writing systems, writing systems, recording the political history of conquests and rulers. Mesoamerican history prior to European arrival is called the prehispanic era or the pre-Columbian era. Following Mexican War of Independence, Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821, political turmoil wracked the nation.
