@FutureOnFire@livingarchitect@spaceengineer14 Thread (1/n): A little history background is needed here because it's not taught outside of Mexico. In the 19th C migration from central Europe replaced the Spanish after 1821. Starting in the 1830s French migrants came in first, followed by Italian and German migrants...
@FutureOnFire@livingarchitect@spaceengineer14 (2/n) Latin America received migration from Central Europe too. That coincided with the industrial revolution. Mexico was invaded by the French if you recall. An Austrian prince, Maximilian was installed as Emperor in the 1860s when Mexico was already a Republic ( Benito Juárez)
@FutureOnFire@livingarchitect@spaceengineer14 (3/n) The issue is that this migration after the French left accelerated toward the late 19th century. Leaders like Gen. Porfirio Díaz who fought the French became impressed by the progress brought about by Maximilian. Like Meiji in Japan, Díaz decided Mexico would modernize too
