Editing 1830s (section)

==== Mexico ====
The 1830s for Mexico saw the end of the [[First Mexican Republic]] and saw General Santa Anna move in and out of the presidency in a 30-year span now known as the "Age of Santa Anna". In 1834, President [[Antonio López de Santa Anna]] dissolved Congress, forming a new government.  That government instituted the  [[Centralist Republic of Mexico]] by approving a new centralist constitution ("[[Siete Leyes]]"). From its formation in 1835 until its dissolution in 1846, the Centralist Republic was governed by eleven [[President of Mexico|presidents]] (none of which finished their term). It called for the state militias to disarm, but many states resisted, including [[Mexican Texas]], which declared independence in the [[Texas Revolution]] of 1836. During the [[1840s]], other provinces separated. The [[Republic of the Rio Grande]] in 1840, and the [[Republic of Yucatán]] declared independence in 1841.

* November 1838 – The [[Pastry War]] (also known as the ''First [[France|French]] intervention in [[Mexico]]'') began with the naval blockade of some Mexican ports and the capture of the fortress of [[San Juan de Ulúa]] in Veracruz by French forces sent by [[Louis Philippe I|King Louis-Philippe]]. The intervention followed many claims by French nationals of losses due to unrest in Mexico City, as well as the failure of Mexico to pay a large debt to France.
