During the Chicano Nationalist Movement, a well-known speaker, Rodolfo ‘Corky’ Gonzales, delivered a speech titled Chicano Nationalism: Victory for La Raza. In this speech, Rodolfo Gonzales tries to unify the Latin American people within the United States by using the idea of a family and to create a new political organization for the Chicano people. This speech was a cumulation of various ideas which stemmed from his own life, the experiences of the Chicano people, and the Chicano Nationalist Movement in general. Each of these factors contributed to the context of the speech and how the ideas within the speech are presented by Rodolfo Gonzales.

Was Porfirio Diaz a better leader than Benito Juárez? Benito Juarez and Porfirio Diaz held the office of President of Mexico for multiple terms during the second half of the 19th century. Porfirio Diaz was President of the Mexican Republic at the period called "the Porfiriato" when Mexico was modernized, and economic growth began as he brought order, peace, and progress. Juarez became a national icon as an indomitable, peripatetic figure who kept the idea of a sovereign republic alive, sometimes only a few leagues ahead of the empires pursuing forces in his simple black coach. Benito Juarez achieved equality, and brought education to the nation but even though Porfirio Diaz was a strict leader, he brought much prosperity and stability to Mexico than Juarez.

“Prepare your hearts as a fortress, for there will be no other.” Francisco Pizarro was a very successful explorer. He had conquered new places, and discovered new things. Because of Pizarro's determination, he was able to complete the things he wanted to and contribute majorly to changes he had wished to see. He certainly was someone that people would know to remember. His achievements were so impressive, like his explorations, that today he is looked at and known for the great things he had discovered and done.
Vicente Fox Quesada was born on July 2, 1942. He was a Mexican businessman who was later became the President of Mexico from the period of December 1, 2000 to November 30, 2006 on the ticket of the National Action Party. Fox became the President of Mexico in the 2000 presidential election. This was a historic election as it made him the first president elected from the opposition party since 1910. During his campaigns, his charismatic nature helped him gain the belief of the Mexican people as he promised them the world. In office he faced several challenges which include differing and betraying some of the heads of state whom he had initially made a deal with. He also talked ill of the black Americans in a conference he had in Texas with
Since the Mexican people were not able to vote when Santa Anna gave away Texas, they felt as if the US took advantage of them when Santa Anna was president. Mexico did not see the war as a dual sided conflict. To Mexico, the war was an invasion of the weaker by the stronger, and at a time when Mexico was vulnerable
According to William A. Darity an editor of the International Encyclopedia of Social Sciences, “These acts earned him the label of Robin Hood of the Mexicans.” Despite these generous acts Pancho Villa committed various crimes throughout his life, which included killing, stealing, and rape. From 1876 to 1911 Mexico was ruled under a dictator Porifirio Diaz, who remained in office by squashing riots with violence and securing his position through corrupt elections. In 1910 when Pancho Villa was around twenty two years old a new election for the Mexican president was taking place and he was recruited by Abraham Gonzales the leader of an Anti-Reelectionist party as a military leader in an attempt to end President Diaz term in office. Under the rule of Diaz many of the poor lived miserable lives and his opponent in 1910 was Francisco Madero a wealthy man who guaranteed all the Mexican people better
Zapata took advantage of this and took the city of Cuernavaca with 5,000 men. Madero entered Mexico easily becoming president • Zapata thought he could encourage Madero to give the land back to the ejidos. Madero
Diaz wanted to be elected president for the seventh time, which caused him to declare himself a candidate as a leader of the opposition party. Dias, who arrested him and held a false election on June, announced his victory. Madero was forced into exile after his release, the United States, issued the "San Luis Potosi plan" in Texas, Sanantonio, called on the November 20th uprising. After the uprising, Mexico’s domestic Madero supporters, including Poncho Vera, Emiliano Zapata and others to the government of war. In the north, Pascual Orozco and Poncho Vera mobilized their forces to attack government troops; in the south, Mr. Zapata launched a bloody fight against local political leaders.
In my opinion Benito Juarez was one of the best presidents Mexico has had. During his five terms in office, he was able to create a change for people who like him, came from an indigenous background. Benito Juarez was the first Mexican leader in history who did not have a military background and was also the first president to be full-blooded indigenous. Benito Juarez led his country to resist French occupation, overthrow the Empire, and restore the Republic. This man really strived to modernize his country and provide his people with the respect they deserved. Juarez is one of the few men who left a legacy for their country, because of this he is regarded as Mexico’s greatest leader. Throughout the state of Mexico, there are schools, streets,
Many of the causes of disaffection which I have pointed out as existing generally throughout the Spanish Colonies, did not extend to Mexico by any means in the same degree as to the rest. Her superior population gave her importance, while her mineral treasures, and her vicinity to the Peninsula, ensured to her a constant supply of European manufactures. The very process too, by which these treasures were drawn from the bosom of the earth, gave value to the landed property of the Interior, from the intimate connexion that must always subsist between mining and agriculture; and this concurrence of favourable circumstances diffused a degree of prosperity throughout the country, which few Colonies have ever attained, none, certainly,
For almost a decade, Manuel Noriega was the face of the corrupt and notorious Panamanian government, earning him the title of the “strongman of Panama”. Early in his career, he was considered to be an ally of the United States as he provided valuable assistance to the country as an informant for the C.I.A. Later on, however, Noriega became an enemy of America due to his illegal dealing with drugs. In 1989, the United States government drove him out of Panama which ended his control of the country’s puppet government.
Another of Loyo’s argument is that education was used by the federal authorities to expand their power and favor the “centralization,” and unification of the Mexican territory. Federal educational plans often times conflicted with the interests of local and state leaders; public education was a source of conflict but also a tool for the government to materialize their power throughout the country.
