Uncover the mysteries of Mexico’s tumultuous ‘Age of Santa Anna’ in ‘The Central Republic in Mexico, 1835-1846’. This compelling historical study dives deep into the critical decade from 1835 to 1846, a period often overlooked and misunderstood. Explore the efforts of the ruling elite, the ‘hombres de bien’, to establish a centralized republic as a solution to persistent factionalism and unrest since independence. Despite their intentions, civil strife, economic stagnation, and military coups continued until the devastating Mexican-American War. Discover the reasons behind the failure of centralism, the key figures and issues involved, and the underlying social and economic pressures. An essential read for understanding Mexico’s formative years.
