Answer 4

Most wars in Mexico have been of internal nature, or imposed upon Mexico by foreign powers, such as the United States and France. The only notable exception was on WW2, when Mexico fought for the Allies against Japanese forces on the Pacific.

• Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821)

• Central American Federation War of independence (1822-1823)

• Texas War of Independence (1835-1836)

• First Franco-Mexican War ("The Pastry War") (1838)

• Yucatan Secession (1839-1843)

• Mexican-American War (1846-1847)

• Yucatan Rebellion (1847)

• Second Franco-Mexican War (1862-1867)

• Yaqui Indian War (1899-1904)

• Mexican Revolution (1910-1922)

• US Occupation of Veracruz (1914)

• US Punitive Expedition (1916-1917)

• World War Two (1942-1945)

• Chiapas Uprising (1994-Present)

• EPR Marxist Guerrilla Conflict (1996-Present)

• Mexico's Drug War (2006-Present)

The last three are ongoing, low-intensity conflicts, meaning no outright war between the opposing parties has ever happened, but it doesn't mean casualties don't exist. For instance, since the Mexico's Drug War was proclaimed by former Mexican President Felipe Calderon Hinojosa on December 11, 2006, more than 135,000 people (2015) have been killed by confrontations between federal, state and local police forces against drug cartel members.
