There are two of them:Spain (1810-1821), when Mexico fought its war of independence against colonial and royalist forces.France (1838) when it bullied Mexico to pay reparations to a pastry cook and again (1862-1867) when it invaded Mexico to prevent the rise of the United States as an economic power.
The Franco-Mexican War, also known as the Pastry War lasted five and a half years. It began on December 8, 1861 and ended on June 21, 1867.
Most wars in Mexico have been of internal nature, or imposed upon Mexico by foreign powers, such as the United States and France:Texas War of Independence (1835-1836)First Franco-Mexican War ("The Pastry War") (1838)Mexican-American War (1846-1847)Second Franco-Mexican War (1862-1867)US Occupation of Veracruz (1914)US Punitive Expedition (1916-1917)
This was called The "Pastry War". This war was fought between France and Mexico from November 1838 to March 1839. The war was nominally fought because French citizens living in Mexico during a prolonged period of strife had their investments ruined and the Mexican government refused any sort of reparations, but it also had to do with long-standing Mexican debt. After a few months of blockades and naval bombardments of the port of Veracruz, the war ended when Mexico agreed to compensate France.
One of them is the Rosca de Reyes, a pastry from Spanish tradition since the 16th century. It is a cinnamon-roll style bread topled with icing or sugar.
The three most influential nations in Mexico's history have been:Spain, which conquered Mexico and made a colony of it from 1521 until 1821, when Mexico won its war of independence.The United States, which has had a very complex relationship with Mexico since 1821, including war and conflict such as the Texas Revolution (1835-1836), the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) or the Invasion of Veracruz (1914). On the other hand, there has been also a very close economic, diplomatic and military cooperation between both nations, such as when France invaded Mexico (1861-1867), at the Pacific Theater during the Second World War (1939-1945) or the current War on Drugs (2007-present), which is been fought by Mexico on behalf of the United States.France, which tried to conquer Mexico two times in its history, including the Pastry War (1838-1839) and the Second Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867).
