Mexico. Battle for North America
Description
As hard as the struggle for freedom from Spain was, the first decades of autonomy were perhaps even more difficult for Mexico. Their hard-won victory was seemingly squandered in a vicious cycle of war and tyranny embodied by Santa Ana, the flamboyant general who gave away Texas in exchange for his life. This program chronicles the waves of fighting that rocked the fledgling nation, from the "Pastry War" with France to the Mexican-American War.
