Carlos Alberto Madrazo Becerra was a Mexican politician who served as governor of Tabasco from 1959 until 1965. Following the end of his governorship, Mexican president Gustavo Díaz Ordaz appointed him to the presidency of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which was, at the time, the...

Trying to work out some things, and I have some questions that I know people here are likely to know the answers to. Firstly, how much debt was Mexico in after independence? Wars are expensive and colonies that become independent usually have debt to start, but degree matters. How much debt...

I've been doing a Google search and reading old threads on methods for a more stable or more prosperous Mexico. Many posters (after presuming or building the stable aspect) like to try to get more (particularly Catholic) immigration (much of which originally went to the US) to the northern...

Here we go again... Hi. I'm a “newbie” regarding alternative histories but a dreamer. I am currently creating an alternative history of Mexico that goes back to the decades of 1896-1902, where José Yves Limantour is the President of Mexico that will govern two periods (1896-1902 and 1906). He...

Most Alt-history narratives explore the scenario of Mexico remaining a vast "empire", potentially rivaling the United States in power. This speculation is cool indeed, but here I would like to think about a smaller Mexican State. At the time of its independence, Mexico was indeed enormous, and...

(So, I'm trying to come up with an idea for a concept for a private project of mine, inspired by @Ambassador Huntsman's timeline amazing Nobunaga's Ambition Timeline (Go read it if you haven't), but not using the Gavin Menzies' 1421 idea; I want late East Asian colonization, where Japan...

Re-posting this topic: IOTL, when the US suspended diplomatic relations with the Cuban government under Fidel Castro in 1960 and placed an embargo on it, Canada, usually a staunch US ally in international relations, notably refused to join the US under its Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. In...

I know that there are insane levels of butterfly effect that could happen in this universe, but let's say after the Mexican-American War the U.S. takes the entire North of Mexico (Republic of the Rio Grande, Sonora, Chihuahua) or maybe it incorporated via the Gadsden Purchase or some other way...

I recently read there was a concession granted for a railroad to be built between Veracruz, on the Gulf of Mexico, and Mexico City in 1837. Of course, that didn't happen. How much possibility was there for it to have actually happened, and what would have been the impact if it had been?

Between 1800 and 1900, the Mexican population grew from roughly 6 million to 13.6 million. The USA, however, grew its population from 5.3 million to an enormous 76.2 million. I assume this is a result of instability and lower levels of migration, and my (admittedly brief) research seems to...

So we all know what happened to Mexico in the 1980s to Present : Under the PRI Dictatorship, it became embroiled in corruption and the wars with the Cartels then Vicente Fox and his successor made it worse, then we had the return of PRI with Npeto or whatever his name was, and now we have AMLO...

And actually enforced that law. Law can be national or by states or whatnot, but need to cover entire county, for the most part. Not just cities. I was recently reading different threads on this forum about earlier industrialization and other things and increased literacy is often desirable...

Like it says on the tin. Suppose, for one reason or another, that Mexico doesn't lose Texas, California and everything in between those two places to the United States in the mid 19th century. Would the various Native American peoples be treated differently than they were by Washington as a...

There are hundreds of threads ctalking about the american civil war, and how if it had gone differently, it would have affected america. But, I am more interested in what a divided US means for Europe. OTL, France used the turmoil of the American Civil War to intervene in Mexico, and Spain used...

WI the First Mexican Empire had been able to survive? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Mexican_Empire Perhaps the following alternative is accepted?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Mexican_Empire#Mexican_monarchism Apparently, before Nappy III was even in control many had interest in a European monarch to control Mexico as early as the 1830's. If any European nation (likely France) had done this earlier, what might the outcome be? Will...

One alternate history scenario that interests me is if England somehow colonized Mexico before Spain did, in this timeline we will assume that either Spain shows no interest in colonizing Mexico thus Mexico remains uncolonized long enough for England to have a chance to colonize Mexico or Spain...

I came up with an idea not too long ago and I wanted some input on its feasibility. So, basically. In an alternate timeline, the Spanish do not establish the Viceroyalty of New Spain after conquering the Aztec Empire, nor do they destroy Tenochtitlan, instead, they organize their territory in...

I'm thinking about doing a Socialist Confederacy TL and I came up with a idea for it. I just wanted to know your guys' opinion.

I know that trade between Southern China and the Americas was a pretty big deal for a long time, but what effect (if any) would there be if that trade continued well into the 19th century? Or conversely what effect did the fall of the Spanish Empire have on trade in East Asia? Was the inflow...
