    Battles of the Mexican Revolution

    In June of 1914, Victoriano Huerta, self proclaimed President of Mexico, sent a large force to the city Zacatecas. He did this because he knew that Poncho Villa, a rebel leader from the North, wanted the city because it was an import rail junction. This city was the railway to all other railways, if Villa had obtained this city he would have access to all of Mexico. Huerta couldn’t let that happen and neither could Carranza, who was another rebel leader from the West and despised Villa as much as he despised Huerta.…

    Pros And Cons Of Christopher Columbus

    The first individual he discussed in his writings was the leader of the indigenous people of Mexico: Montezuma. Racially, Castillo believed him to be quite in-shape with adequate mussels and build. He was of “usual Indian complexion” and his hair was not long like most Indians, but short above his ears (24). Culturally, Castillo saw Montezuma as being mostly grandiose. He had many mistresses and two wives. He was very spoiled with numerous amounts of servants that adhered to his every need. Even Castillo seemed amazed that at every meal prepared for the leader of the Mexicans, thirty different dishes were prepared and that he sometimes even fed on the flesh of young boys. Being that the weapons they had were more adapt then his own, “[swords] that cut much better than our swords,” Castillo was vastly impressed with the arms Montezuma possessed (24). Not only were the weapons better, but they were significantly decorated as well. While Montezuma was viewed as very elegant and over-the-top by Castillo, the peoples of Mexico were regarded slightly…

    Simon Bolivar's Struggle For Independence

    In the late 1700s to the early 1800s, the people of South and Central American colonies began to rebel against the oppressive Spanish regime. Most of the revolutions were successful, and thus began the freedom of many nations and equality for their people. But without the intelligent and powerful revolutionary leaders, the colonies wouldn’t have had the same success. One of the most well known leaders, Simon Bolivar emerged triumphant from his movement for freedom, granting independence to those who fought with him. But his successes and motivations didn’t develop overnight. They were fueled by many different aspects of Bolivar’s life, stemming from type of people that he met and heard about, to his need for glory.…

    “It was plainly our duty to extend our protection over her citizens and soil,” said President Polk (doc B). When troops arrived at the Rio Del Norte, Mexican troops attacked the Americans, killing and wounding sixteen soldiers. (Hook) This was the deciding factor of America going to war with Mexico. “When word arrived on May 9, 1846, that Mexicans soldiers had fired upon Americans on the “Texas side” of the Rio Grande, president Polk had a reason for going to war.” (BG essay) You see, if Mexico hadn’t engaged in violence first there would be no immediate reason for the U.S. to go to war with…

    James K. Polk's Manifest The War Between Mexico And America

    It was not that long ago the United States went to war with their neighboring country, Mexico. With James K. Polk being elected president of the United States in 1844, things were about to change for Mexico. A war was about to emerge that would make the United States a bigger and better country. Without the economic growth, Mexico lacked a strong Army to defeat the American Army and Navy to keep their land. Mexico would not give up their land without a fight. People believe that the United States had no right to start a war with Mexico and take a huge part of their land. With that being said, President Polk had other plans up his sleeve, a plan to take Mexican land from Texas to California.…

    Pancho Villa

    Pancho Villa

    Pancho villa Doroteo Aranga learned to hate aristocratic Dons, who worked he and many other Mexicans like slaves, Doroteo Aranga also known as Pancho villa hated aristocratic because he made them work like animals all day long with little to eat. Even more so, he hated ignorance within the Mexican people that allowed such injustices. At the young age of fifteen, Aranga came home to find his mother trying to prevent the rape of his sister. Aranga shot the man and fled to the Sierra Madre for the next fifteen years, marking him as a fugitive for the first time. It was then that he changed his name from Doroteo Aranga to Francisco "Pancho" Villa, a man he greatly admired. Upon the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1911 against the Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz, Villa offered his services to the rebel leader Francisco I. Madero. During Madero's administration, he served under the Mexican general Victoriano Huerta, who sentenced him to death for insubordination. With his victories attracting attention in the United States, Villa escaped to the United States. President Woodrow Wilson's military advisor, General Scott, argued that the U.S. should support Pancho Villa, because he would become "the George Washington of Mexico." In August of 1914, General Pershing met Villa for the first time in El Paso, Texas and was impressed with his cooperative composure; Pancho Villa then came to the conclusion that the U.S. would acknowledge him as Mexico's leader. Following the assassination of Madero and the assumption of power by Huerta in 1913, he returned to join the opposition under the revolutionary Venustiano Carranza. Using "hit and run" tactics, he gained control of northern Mexico, including Mexico City. As a result, his powerful fighting force became "La Division Del Norte." The two men soon became enemies, however, and when Carranza seized power in 1914, Villa led the rebellion against him. By April of 1915, Villa had set out to destroy Carranzista…

    19th Century Isolationism

    This giant jenga game had maintained the balance of power ensuring that no one nation became too strong or too weak. Progressives like Wilson had a different God-given mission in mind. They wanted to eliminate hostility, disarm nations and spread their democratic ideals around the world. In the first few days of his presidency, Wilson faced a foreign policy crisis. During the Mexican Revolution, General Victoriano Huerta had forcibly seized power and imprisoned the Mexican president. Wilson quickly declared Huerta’s government illegitimate and called for free elections. Mexican Constitutionalists quickly raised an army and defeated Huerta in several battles but were unable to capture Mexico City. Wilson ordered a naval blockade of the port of Veracruz and after three months, Huerta surrendered and the American forces withdrew. This Mexican intervention was a test case for the so-called Wilsonian ideals. American foreign policy would not be one of isolationism but rather, “Moral Diplomacy.” At its core was the idea that the people of every nation would have the right to “self-determination” or the ability to freely elect their own leaders and government.…
