Maximilian in Mexico, the Story of the French Intervention (1861-1867) (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Maximilian in Mexico, the Story of the French Intervention (1861-1867)
For the first fifty years of its being the Republic of Mexico exhibited a spectacle full of sorrow to the friends of free institutions throughout the world, and, especially, to the numerous practical sympathisers to be found in England, who had been the first to hold out a helping hand to the young and struggling State, just emerging, crippled but courageous, from four hundred years of oppression under the yoke of Spain. So far from realising the high aspira tions which had been formed among their friends abroad, who looked for orderliness, mutual good-will and loyalty among the citizens of the new State enjoying a common cause, one language and one faith to bind them, the country was made the scene of the exploits of a succession of ambitious individuals, who, in search of riches or power for themselves and their numerous partisans, plunged the nation into a sea of furious internecine warfare. Many of the agitators patriots they were called when successful.
