Well, back after falling under an intense college exam month, I'm back...
Anyways, without a further ado, I was reading as part of some research the biography of Santa Anna (infamous Mexican dictator who basically gave out the northernmost part of Mexico to the U.S. and masterminded almost every coup in the country since the times of Iturbide), and read about he was hit in his arm with an arrow during a skirmish against indigenous tribes in Northern Mexico, circa 1811.
But what if the arrow instead would have killed him (either by hitting a vital part or other else...) and how would the repercussions would be throughout all Mexico? Would the Texas Independence and Yucatan Caste Wars (both caused by the neglection used by the Centralist administration by none other than him and his cohorts) be avoided? Perhaps more stable regimes only disturbed by ocassional protests (against the multiple coups over the first 50 years of Mexican independence)?
