Order Description

the tumultuous history of Mexico:

I. The Conquest (1519)

II. The Independence (1821)

III. The Reform (1857-1860)

IV. Cinco de mayo (1862)

Once having watched the movie For Greater Glory, reflect on the tumultuous dates above and write a brief letter (or poem) to Mexico expressing your state of being. That is, how do you feel knowing
more about this country, in particular its ten-year Revolution, the invasion of three colonizers (Spain, France, England), and the battle that unfolded within the aftermath of the Revolution (the
cristeros war)?
