- Synopsis
- England had been among the first to recognize Mexico's independence, hoping to find in the former colonies of Spain new markets for her ever-expanding economy. Two loans were floated on the London Stock Exchange, but the bankers demanded such a heavy rate of interest that not more than half the money ever reached the Mexican government. Others followed in England's wake, with France obtaining a substantial share of Mexican commerce. The most feared and hated of the foreign powers, however, was Mexico's North American neighbor, who, between 1837 and 1849, partly through war and partly through acquisition, absorbed over a million and a half square miles of Mexican territory, including the whole of Texas, New Mexico and Southern California.
