Second Mexican Empire
The Second Mexican Empire (), officially the Mexican Empire (), was a constitutional monarchy established in Mexico by Mexican monarchists in conjunction with the Second French Empire. The period is sometimes referred to as the Second French intervention in Mexico. Emperor Napoleon III of France, with the support of the Mexican conservatives, clergy, and nobility, established a monarchist ally in the Americas intended as a restraint upon the growing power of the United States. It has been viewed as both an independent Mexican monarchy and as a client state of France. Elected as the emperor of Mexico was Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, chosen due to his ancestral link to prior rulers of Mexico. His wife and empress consort of Mexico was the Belgian princess Charlotte of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, known as ‘Carlota’. Mexican conservatives, including many in the Mexican nobility, had played a role in instigating the re-bir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Second French Empire
The Second French Empire (; officially the French Empire, ), was the 18-year Empire, Imperial Bonapartist regime of Napoleon III from 14 January 1852 to 27 October 1870, between the French Second Republic, Second and the French Third Republic, Third Republic of France. Historians in the 1930s and 1940s often disparaged the Second Empire as a precursor of fascism. That interpretation is no longer widely held, and by the late 20th century they were giving it as an example of a modernising regime. Historians have generally given the Empire negative evaluations on its foreign policy, and somewhat more positive evaluations of domestic policies, especially after Napoleon III liberalised his rule after 1858. He promoted French business and exports. The greatest achievements included a grand History of rail transport in France#Success under the Second Empire, railway network that facilitated commerce and tied the nation together with Paris as its hub. This stimulated economic growth a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Client State
A client state, in international relations, is a state that is economically, politically, and/or militarily subordinate to another more powerful state (called the "controlling state"). A client state may variously be described as satellite state, associated state, dominion, condominium, self-governing colony, neo-colony, protectorate, vassal state, puppet state, and tributary state. Controlling states in history Persia, Greece, and Rome Ancient states such as Persia and Parthia, Greek city-states, and Ancient Rome sometimes created client states by making the leaders of that state subservient, having to provide tribute and soldiers. Classical Athens, for example, forced weaker states into the Delian League and in some cases imposed democratic government on them. Later, Philip II of Macedon similarly imposed the League of Corinth. One of the most prolific users of client states was Republican Rome which, instead of conquering and then absorbing into an empire, chose to make clie ...

Mexican Nobility
The Mexican nobility were a hereditary nobility of Mexico, with specific privileges and obligations determined in the various political systems that historically ruled over the Mexican territory. The term is used in reference to various groups throughout the entirety of Mexican history, from formerly ruling indigenous families of the pre-Columbian states of present-day Mexico, to noble Mexican families of Spanish and other European descent, which include conquistadors and their descendants (ennobled by King Philip II in 1573), untitled noble families of Mexico, and holders of titles of nobility acquired during the Viceroyalty of the New Spain (1521–1821), the First Mexican Empire (1821–1823), and the Second Mexican Empire (1862–1867); as well as bearers of titles and other noble prerogatives granted by foreign powers who have settled in Mexico.

Monarchism In Mexico
Monarchism in Mexico is the political ideology that defends the establishment, restoration, and preservation of a monarchical form of government in Mexico. It was especially a recurring factor in the first few decades of the nation's independence. The nation became independent under a coalition hoping to establish a government led by a member of the Spanish royal family or a prince from another European royal house. In the absence of a willing candidate from an established royal house, Mexican general Agustín de Iturbide was elected Emperor of Mexico by the Mexican congress in 1822 with the hopes of inaugurating a constitutional monarchy, but struggles between congress and the emperor and the emperor's struggle to pay the military led to the empire's collapse the following year. Largely discredited in the wake of the First Mexican Empire’s fall, monarchism remained dormant until the 1840s when select conservative thinkers began to publicly explore the idea as a means of giving th ...

Santiago Vidaurri
José Santiago Vidaurri Valdez (July 24, 1809 – July 8, 1867) was a controversial and powerful governor of the northern Mexican states of Nuevo León and Coahuila between 1855 and 1864. He was an advocate of federalism. In 1855, he supported the liberal Revolution of Ayutla, which overthrew the dictatorship of Santa Anna. Vidaurri stood by the liberal president Benito Juárez during the subsequent War of the Reform, during which Vidaurri commanded the liberal armies of the north. During the American Civil War, he sought advantageous trade relationships with the neighboring Confederate States of America, and, during the Second French Intervention in Mexico, he broke with Juárez and supported the Second Mexican Empire. When the Empire fell in 1867, Vidaurri was captured and executed by the restored Republican government. In Nuevo León he remains an important historical figure. Early life Vidaurri was born in Villa Punta de Lampazos, New Kingdom of León on July 24, 1809 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
