Timothy J Henderson,
The Mexican Wars for Independence.
F 1232 H45 2009

Mexico has had a turbulent history. Few portions of its history have been as unstable and volatile as the nineteenth century. Mexico gained its independence, was invaded three times and suffered several civil wars between 1810 and 1876, This era is also an important formative period in Mexico's evolution as a nation.

Professor Henderson illustrates how the policies and practices of the Spanish colonial authorities led to a stratification of Mexican society, which ultimately brought about demands for political and social reform, and how attitudes and events in Spain influenced Mexican politics, society, and the course of the wars for independence.
