Después de anos de lucha, en 1821 Mexico dejo atrás el dominio colonial español y se estableció como nacían independiente. Para los recién estrenados mexicanos parecía que se iniciaba una época prometedora, pero la realidad de los anos siguientes borro estas esperanzas. De 1821 a 1855 el panorama estuvo plagado de conflictos y revueltas, gobernantes que subían y bajaban del poder, estancamiento económico y deudas imposibles de pagar, así como de intervenciones extranjeras y perdida del territorito. Fueron sin duda tiempos difíciles, tiempos revueltos.

After decades of struggle and armed conflict, in 1821, Mexico became an independent nation. To many, it seemed that a promising future was on the horizon, but the crudeness of reality quickly erased such hopes. From 1821 to 1855, Mexico was plagued with conflicts, uprisings, unstable rulers, and mounting debts, not to mention invasion attempts and significant territory losses. Once again, history provides us with proof that growing pains are experienced by all emerging cultures.
