    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.…

    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.…

    Why Is The Mexican War Failing

    “Imbecil and distracted, Mexico never can exert any real government authority over such a country“ (O’Sullivan) Mexico was already failing in starting to sustain and help out there country. Since the Mexican government was failing in sustaining the U.S was helping out. “The Anglo saxon foot is already on California's borders marking its trail with schools and colleges, courts and representative halls, mills and making houses’ (O’Sullivan). Since the Mexican government at the time was failing the U.S was helping out when they were in need. Doesn't that show how the U.S was doing good and not bad and wanting peace instead of war?…
