Second Federal Republic of Mexicoball

The Second Federal Republic of Mexicoball was the second (failed) attempt of federalism in Mexico after the First Federalist government failed, this would last up until the Mexican Empire was declared in the French-Mexican War. This time period in Mexican history was the most eventful as Mexicoball lost half of its territory to USAball, being invaded by France, The Conservatives losing power to the Liberals, and a new Constitution.
== History/Historia ==
=== Fall of the Centralist Republic ===
In April 1846, during the Presidency of Mariano Paredes, the Mexican-American War broke out, and with Mexicoball losing battles there were revolutions against the government, and Mariano quit the presidency on July 28 and went with the Mexican military to help with the war, Meanwhile Nicolas Bravo was chosen for president. On August 3, the Mexican troops in San Juan de Ulua, Heroica Veracruz rebelled against the President and chose Mariano Salas for the provisional president of Mexico and restored the 1824 Constitution, creating the end of the Centralist government and the beginning of the Second Federalist Republic.
=== Mexican-American War ===
==== Restoration of Federalism ====
President Salas allowed the exiled Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna to come back to his home country to which this time, he accepted the 1824 Constitution and restored the Federalist system in the country and started the era of the Second Federal Republic. Salas got rid of everyone in the cabinets and filled them with Liberals, Santanistas (Supporters of Santa Anna), and ex-president Valentin Gomez Farias, who became the finance minister. Congress opened their sessions on December, most of them affiliated with the Liberal Party. Salas opened congress by mourning the deaths of the soldiers who currently died in the Mexican-American War, but he had hope for Santa Anna's army gathering at San Luis Potosíball. Salas said that he was the reason for continuing the war but he tried to make peace with USAball. Later on, Santa Anna and Valentin Gomez Farias were chosen for President and Vice President. However, they had trouble with money and funding the war. by one, state governments said no on paying, and two, corrupted governments had kept the money and so they stole money and land from the Catholic Church and use that instead. This backfired as this made controversy and a another revolt against the government known as Revolt of the Polkos, which deposed Gomez Farias.
==== American landing in Veracruz ====
 Santa Anna said he won the Battle of Buena Vista, but its was actually a tie but that ended the war in Northern Mexico. Santa Anna went to Mexico Cityball to make defenses against USAball, which they had just landed in Veracruz. Santa Anna was going to San Luis Potosi when he heard that President Gomez Farias was deposed in the Revolt of the Polkos and the soldiers are back in their stations, Presidency was given to him but Santa Anna gave it to Pedro Maria Anaya so Santa Anna could fight the American troops. the President put the capital in a stage of Under Siege after the American victory in the Battle of Cerro Gordo and so now and instability made anyone who tried to make peace with the Americans are considered a traitor. On April 1847, Anaya started a junta to resolve the issue of defending the capital in case they can't win the defensive battle in Mexico Cityball and endorsed guerrilla warfare. The presidency was given to Santa Anna after he returned to the capital.
==== Fall of Mexico City ====
 Santa Anna was president when the American forces reached, captured, and occupied Mexico Cityball, the presidency switched back to Anaya, After the Mexican loss in the war, the government left Mexico Cityball for Querétaro Cityball and there was drama on which to continue the war or give up land to USAball and the presidency was given to Manuel de la Peña y Peña
==== End of the War ====
Congress met to make peace to really end the war and recalled the challenges of the war and how the Minister of Foreign Relations said how he was against the war and after talks they decided to give up and give US the territory they wanted and so USAball sent Nicholas Trist for negotiating the treaty and the Americans wanted more land than how much they got today but Trist reduced this to only giving up the claims on Texasball, and all of (Santa Fe de) Nuévo Mexicoball and Alta Californiaball. This made the people who believed in Manifest Destiny angry but then everyone wanted this to end and so the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed and approved. And so the American occupiers left Mexicoball. And so after the war, everyone turned on Santa Anna, blaming him for his incompetence and they exiled him to Kingston, Jamaica.
=== Santa Anna's Final Dictatorship ===
Years of economic instability and corruption have caused Mexico to keep falling apart and so in 1853, The Conservatives who had just overthrown the Liberals allowed Santa Anna to return back from his exile in Turbaco, New Granadaball (which he moved there after 2 years in Kingston). And so Santa Anna regained position of presidency and restored the centralist system and so he gave many rights to the Jesuits and the Catholic Church Clergy. Many local governments were dissolved and so everything was now governed by Mexico Cityball and established a new Ministry of Department and the military was reestablished as it grew in numbers, hired Instructors from Europe, Improve fortresses, and the ships for the navy, with Santa Anna's goal to modernize and improve the military and so Santa Anna declared himself "dictator for life" and called himself "Most Serene Highness" and so for more money for his goals, Mexicoball and USAball agreed to the Gadsden Purchase. However this made everyone angry and so people were turning against Santa Anna.
=== La Reforma ===
The Gadsden Purchase made Santa Anna hated and so they wanted him deposed, and so the Liberals planned the Plan of Ayutla to depose him and so them and the Santanistas fought the Revolution of Ayutla. The plan succeeded, Santa Anna was deposed and exiled (again) and so Liberals have control of Mexicoball and so they made Federalist, Anti-Clerical, and Secular laws but controversy made Liberal president Juan Álvarez quit his presidency. Congress met to draft the 1857 Constitution and so this constitution had anti-clerical laws, which still created controversy but it also affected the Native Mexicans 
=== Reform War ===
President Ignacio Comonfort was disappointed by oppositions against the 1857 Constitution and so Conservative General Félix Zuloaga asked Comonfort if he wanted to stop the 1857 Constitution by joining the Plan of Tacubaya and he unexpectedly accepted, to the disappointment of the Liberals, Comonfort released a manifesto and they need more moderate reforms under certain conditions. But when Mexicoball fell under Civil War, Comonfort switched sides as he overestimated the conservatives plans power and so he joined Liberal Benito Juárez's side and freed Benito Juárez from prison before leaving Mexicoball. Benito Juárez was almost killed but joined the Liberal cabinet but was based on Heroica Veracruzball while the Conservatives were based on Mexico Cityball but the Conservatives were winning battles but the Liberals still had control over the port. Conservatives tried to get the port but failed because USAball and his Navy were supporting the Liberals and so the Liberals put more anti-clerical laws and them and USAball were thinking about signing the McLane-Ocampo Treaty, which was to USAball to directly intervene in the Reform War but the American Senate scrapped it. However, the Liberals were starting to get more of Mexicoball and with the Battle of Calpulalpan in the State of Mexicoball, the Liberals finally gained all control of the country, making the Conservatives leave Mexicoball.
=== Second Franco-Mexican War ===
With Liberal victory President Benito Juárez wanted to rebuild Mexicoball and so Juárez ended the debt payment promised from the Pastry War during the Centralist times, however this made Franceball angry, and so with British Empireball and Spainball, they teamed up in the Convention of London to invade Mexicoball and make him pay the debts and so they went, and occupied Heroica Veracruzball.
They wanted to make Mexicoball just pay his debts but Franceball had other plans: Destroy the Republic and turn it into a Conservative Client Empireball, and so when UKball and Spainball learned about Franceball's plan, they left Mexicoball's clay.
But even without them, Franceball still was making progress in the invasion, in Pueblaball, Franceball was making it to Mexico Cityball but then the Republicans set them back for one year but then the Conservatives decided to team up with the French because they wanted revenge from the Reform War but eventually Franceball made it to Mexico Cityball, and a month later, they created the Second Mexican Empireball. Killing the Second Federal Republic.
