Historical background
GUATEMALA - FERDINAND VII
(1808-1833)
Ferdinand VII (1784-1833) is the eldest son of Charles IV. King in 1808, he was forced to abdicate before Napoleon and was relegated to the Château de Valencey until 1813. The reign of Joseph Napoleon was an opportunity for Hispanic America to shake off the Spanish yoke and revolt. The Mexican Revolution began in 1810 and lasted in fact until the proclamation of the republic in 1823. Mexico entered into rebellion against the central power in 1810. Some workshops like Zacatecas remained loyal to Ferdinand VII until 1822. In 1840, General de Santa Anna becomes president, then dictator. From 1845, he was at war with the United States. Mexico was taken by the Americans on September 14, 1847. At the Treaty of Guadaloupe on May 2, 1848, Mexico ceded Texas and California to the United States.
