1 El Observador Dicember 31st, 1867 Local News National News Back Out of the Stone Age jtrev.htm Nicolas Navarro First the Troops, Now the State. Carlos Moreleon On December the 4th of 1867, José Jerónimo de los Dolores Treviño Leal, became the new governor of the state of Nuevo León. He was born November 17 of 1835, in Cadereyta Jiménez, Nuevo León. Jerónimo Treviño was an outstanding military mexican who participated in the Reform War and in the Second French Intervention in Mexico. During the French Intervention, Treviño fought among the greatest military figures of Nuevo Leon, like Ruperto Martínez, Francisco Naranjo and Mariano Escobedo. In 1863 he fought in Puebla under Escobedo s orders, then in Tehuantepec, next to Porfirio Díaz, and that same year he obtained the degree of lieutenant colonel. In 1865, his state needed him, so he made a horseback trip from Oaxaca to Nuevo León. This past year, when Nuevo León was under control of the invaders, important battles were held and Treviño, beginning now the colonel of the cavalry, participated outstandingly, like in the battle of Santa Isabel on March 1st of 1866, where he was worthy of promotion to Brigadier General, and obtained more than 300 prisoners. Now that the french have been defeated, Juárez instructed general Treviño the military command of Mexico s plaza, which he left on December of this year, and was just named the constitutional governor of Nuevo León, in recognition of his services and outstanding contributions to this nation, México. Cisneros, R. (2006, January 14). Jerónimo treviño. Retrieved from The death of the Emperor caused international turmoil. Juarez finally took back the power he deserves, and got rid of that tyrant and horrible ruler Maximilian I of Mexico. Juarez received many letters begging for him to pardon the Emperor, but he denied the petitions, even Baron von Magnus, Prussian Ambassador, came to ask in person, but was denied. The original execution date was postponed until the the afternoon of June 19, 1867, when along with his generals, Maximiliano I de Mexico was executed. His body remained in Queretaro, where he was executed, his body still remains there. His wife suffered a panic attack soon after his death and is now officially declared insane. Despite his bad ruling, and leaving us, the mexican people, even deeper in debt, Maximilian I of Mexico descended with a hopeful message, "May my blood be the last shed in sacrifice for this country, and if more is required, let it be for the good of the n a t i o n, n e ver by t rea s o n." ( Kemper, ) Maximiliano s centralist rule left Mexico in worst shape than it once was, clearly conservative methods are ineffective. Conservatives placed a monarch in power, and now we are worst than ever. Centralists need to understand that evolution and history is about going forward, not backwards, the age of Kings and Emperors is over, now we need politicians democracy, presidency. Humanity is striving to go away from the stone age, not back to it. Hopefully Maximiliano s death will mark a milestone in Mexican History as the the Mexico s last Monarch lost his power, and we can only pray that Juarez is able to get us out of the current pit we are now in.

2 2 El Observador El Observador december 31st 1867 International Finally, Peace in Luxembourg! Maria Jose Canseco News On May 11th, 1867, the Treaty on London was signed in order to neutralize and to put an end to the Luxembourg Crisis. The Crisis consisted of a diplomatic dispute between Prussia and France over the political status of Luxembourg. The treaty was signed by representatives of the Great Powers of Europe, which included the heads of Austria, France, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. The objective of the Treaty of London was to achieve neutrality within and outside the nation of Luxembourg, and also that the participants reach common ground and establish a stable relationship. This incident is related to what Emperor Maximilian of Mexico attempted to do with the liberal and the conservative parties and their on-going conflicts. But his actions did not result positively like the Treaty of London, on the contrary, by trying to find a solution and a neutral agreement between both parties, the only thing that Maximilian accomplished was to alienate both political groups. Independent Luxembourg. (n.d.). Encyclopedia Britannica Online. Retrieved December 2, 2013, from /Luxembourg/23423/Independent-Luxembourg?anchor=ref Our Thoughts Maximiliano out, Juarez in. Daniela Carcano Maximiliano our Emperor died this year. Due to the fact that Maximiliano was a conservative emperor, the Mexicans were not as free to do things. I think that it was a great blessing that Juarez became ruler because he is more liberal and has ideas that are more open to expanding Mexico s riches and making Mexico a better country as a whole. Maximiliano did have some peaks during his time as emperor, but I think over all a liberal ruler like Juarez is what is best as a whole. The community feels that Maximiliano was holding us back, restraining us from making Mexico a better place for everyone that lives in it. Mexico is starting to advance with Juarez with the economy and education. El emperador maximiliano. (2013). Retrieved from Society & Culture The struggle for recovery Joaquin Rubio After constant battles, it was finally in 1867 when Benito Juarez, who was part of the liberal party decided to take action for the benefit of mexico. Despite the ongoing peace that was happening in Mexico, there were many problems that not many people knew about such as external debt to other countries. The population was suffering because they wanted to expand and modernize mexico, however they were limited in doing so, since the debt would keep on escalating. Money was so scarce that the government was forced to create a law establishing free education and required all of the citizens to attend the service provided. Among some of the consequences of the debt, Mexico s army was in danger. The government was not able to maintain the army since there were too many soldiers and there was not enough money to pay them all. Emperor Maximilian was captive by Juare z military and then executed in June. Therefor many of the soldiers were disemployed by Benito Juarez, causing unemployment rates to drastically increase. This also increased the amount of insecurity throughout the country. Even though many efforts were made to help Mexico move on, not many of these succeeded and it required a great amount of time for mexico to recover. Cable Educacion. (n.d.).
