HISTORY A TURBULENT ONE
Since Its Freedom From Spain Mex.
leo Has Passed Through Many
Revolutions.

Mexico's history as republic"
began ninety-one years ago. when Gen.
Iturbide. who had been chosen en-
peror Of Mexico and had taken the
title of Augustin /, was forced to alb.
dictate. The war for freedom from
Spain began in 1910. and after a
struggle Of eleven years Iturbide de-
cided the conflict in favor Of the
patriots and made a triumphal entry
into the City Of Mexico. The leaders
decided to form the country into an
empire. and Iturbide offered the
crown to Spanish princes. The offer
was refused and Iturbide himself was
elected to the imperial throne. In
July, 1922. he was crowned in the
City Of Mexico. but his reign was
destined to be brief. Gen. Antonio
Lopez de Santa Ana raised an army
Of rebels and. after several victories,
forced Iturbide to abdicate on March
%, 1923. Santa Ana had previously
proclaimed the republic" and con-
tinued at its head until Gen. Guada-
lupe Victoria was elected" president
the following year Iturbide was put
to death when he returned to Mexico.
Thus was a precedent established for
the deposition Of Guerrero, Arista,
Santa Ana, Carera, Alvarez, Common
fort, Juarez. Zuloaga, Miramon, EN-
peror Macmillan. Lerdo de Tajado,
Iglesais, Diaz and Madero.
