A weakened Mexico faced American territorial ambitions and economic pressure, and the U.S.-Mexican War threatened the fledgling nation's survival. In 1876 Porfirio Díaz became president of Mexico, bringing political stability to the troubled nation. Although Díaz initiated long-delayed economic development and laid the foundation of modern Mexico, his government was an oligarchy created at the expense of most Mexicans. This accessible account guides the reader through a pivotal time in Mexican history, including such critical episodes as the reign of Santa Anna, the U.S.-Mexican War, and the Porfiriato. Colin M. MacLachlan and William H. Beezley recount how the century between Mexico's independence and the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution had a lasting impact on the course of the nation's history.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Mexico's Crucial Century, 1810-1910: An Introduction | William H Beezley | Paperback | 9780803228443 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788599","offer_id":50930998313218,"sku":"1788599","price":23.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91jQMSPZVxL.jpg?v=1793497850","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/mexicos-crucial-century-1810-1910-an-introduction","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
