{{Main|Republic of Yucatán}}
The Mexican Empire was quickly overthrown (1823) under the [[Plan of Casa Mata]], and the provinces of the erstwhile empire became independent states. The first Republic of Yucatán, declared on May 29, 1823, joined the Federal Republic of the [[United Mexican States]] as the '''Federated Republic of Yucatán''' on December 23, 1823.<ref name=diputaciones>{{cite news |title=Las Diputaciones Provinciales |url=http://biblio.juridicas.unam.mx/libros/6/2920/11.pdf |page=15 |language=es |access-date=April 11, 2011 |archive-date=May 28, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160528111641/http://biblio.juridicas.unam.mx/libros/6/2920/11.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=La Historia de la República de Yucatán |url=http://www.sobrino.net/Dzidzantun/la_historia_de_la_rep_yuc.htm |language=es |access-date=October 31, 2010 |archive-date=June 6, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170606142635/http://www.sobrino.net/Dzidzantun/la_historia_de_la_rep_yuc.htm |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=La Diputación Provincial y el Federalismo Mexicano |isbn=9789681205867 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i_GK_-6deKIC&q=22%20De%20Mayo%20De%201824%20durango&pg=PA227 |language=es |last1=Benson |first1=Nettie Lee |year=1994 |access-date=October 21, 2020 |archive-date=October 20, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231020054309/https://books.google.com/books?id=i_GK_-6deKIC&q=22%20De%20Mayo%20De%201824%20durango&pg=PA227#v=snippet&q=22%20De%20Mayo%20De%201824%20durango&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref>

The second Republic of Yucatán{{efn|Usually when historians talk about of the Republic of Yucatán, they are talking about the second republic.}} emerged when the federal pact signed by Yucatán and endorsed in the Constitution of Yucatán of 1825 was broken by the [[Centralized government|centralist government]] of Mexico from 1835. In 1841 the state of [[Tabasco]] decreed its separation from Mexico and [[Miguel Barbachano]], then governor of Yucatán, sent a commission headed by [[Justo Sierra O'Reilly]] to meet with Tabasco authorities to propose the creation of an independent federal republic from Mexico formed by the two states. The idea failed when Tabasco rejoined Mexico in 1842.

On August 22, 1846, Mexican interim president [[José Mariano Salas]] restored the [[1824 Constitution of Mexico|1824 constitution]] and federalism. Two years later, during the government of president [[José Joaquín de Herrera]], [[Miguel Barbachano]] ordered the reinstatement of Yucatán to Mexico under the Constitution of Yucatán of 1825. A decisive factor for the reinstatement was the [[Caste War]], which forced Yucatán to seek outside help. In 1852 due to internal struggles between opposing political factions, the ''Territory of Campeche'' was created. On April 29, 1863, during the government of Mexican President [[Benito Juárez]], Campeche gained its current status as an independent state.<ref>{{cite news |title=SEP |url=http://www2.sepdf.gob.mx/efemerides/consulta_efemerides.jsp?dia=29&mes=4 |language=es |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111026155634/http://www2.sepdf.gob.mx/efemerides/consulta_efemerides.jsp?dia=29&mes=4 |archive-date=October 26, 2011 |df=mdy-all}}</ref>
