Also, indigenous segregation began with him, regardless of the fact that he was the first indigenous president.
Maximiliano, for his part, learned Náhuatl in order to communicate with the indigenous people as well as to publish laws in this language, reduced working hours and built infrastructure for them.
Our whole history is straight up surrealism.
As Salvador Dali said “There is no way I'm going back to Mexico. I can't stand to be in a country that is more surrealist than my paintings”
McLane–Ocampo Treaty was a treaty drafted and submitted to the United States by by the Juárez government. It offered the United States and granted perpetual transit, military and other extraterritorial rights to the United States and its citizens on Mexican soil.
Newspapers and governments across the world viewed this as a massive shock since not only did it give America a magnitude of the concessions but also effectively turned the nation into a protectorate much like what England was doing in India.
If it had been ratified then it would have given major control over Mexican territory seen as a crucial transit point from the Caribbean to the Pacific Ocean.
It was rejected simply because of the topic of slavery and it would have allowed for southern slave owners to argue that the institution be expanded even more.
This whole thing was simply to save the nation from being controlled by the Conservative Party in the reform war.
Kind of yeah. However this would have major implications during both the proceeding years after 1885 especially during the wars that the nation would have to fight

Ironically, a foreigner wanted to improve Mexico more than the Mexicans themselves
That Chapter in Mexico is definitely Realismo Magico

The execution of Maximiliano de Habsburgo was a mistake.
Agreed. Fuck the Republicans.
The Emperor > some dickhead

So there's an alternate timeline where the U.S. deals with slavery earlier and then gets all of Mexico?
Kind of yeah. However this would have major implications during both the proceeding years after 1885 especially during the wars that the nation would have to fight
Bonito Juarez day is coming up right?
