S2, Ep : 48. Spain & Mexico treaty. Peace and Forgiveness.
About this episode
In the 1830s, Spain and Mexico signed a treaty to recognize Mexico's independence.
Spain had been weakened by wars and Mexico needed to be seen as a legitimate country.
Important people in making the treaty were Lucas Alamán and the local priest Miguel Hidalgo from Mexico, and Francisco Pizarro Martinez from Spain sent by Queen Isabel II.
The treaty encouraged improvements over diplomatic relations and trading.
For Mexico, it confirmed their independence and helped them build international relationships. For Spain, it meant officially the beginning of losing its territories in the Americas and focusing more on issues within Europe.
