| Something controversial or provocative about this subject Many historians agree that the Mexican-American War of 1846-48 was a great, one-sided act of aggression from a powerful country to a pretty much defenseless country. Also, the Mexican Revolution of 1910, which still goes on today, was a revolution by mainly thieves, bandits, and murderers that merely took advantage of lack of civility and didn't do Mexico any good as a whole. | | What do you like about this subject? Mexico has a very rich history. Many US customs, language, events, happenings can be traced to Mexico. I especially like 19th century Mexican history, especially as it relates to 19th century U.S. history. | | Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: There were units of the Mexican Army in the Mexican-American War which were made up entirely of American deserters, mostly Cathoilics who saw the US as oppressing a Catholic country and thus defended it as a matter of defending the faith. Most were killed in action, captured and hanged, or branded on the face with a "D" for deserter all under the orders of General Winfield Scott. | | What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? To figure out the dual personality of the Mexican people/culture as it relates to what is public and private manners, ediquette, and the effect of this dual manner of acting to the cultural history of Mexico. |
