Читать полностью…Antonio López de Santa Anna (1794-1876) joined the army during Mexico's War of Independence…the Spanish army, that is. He would eventually switch sides and over the next few decades, he rose to prominence as a soldier and politician. He would eventually be President of Mexico on no fewer than eleven occasions between 1833 and 1855. Santa Anna was crooked but charismatic and the people loved him in spite of his legendary ineptitude on the field of battle. He lost Texas to rebels in 1836, lost every major engagement in which he participated during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and in between managed to lose a war to France (1839). Still, Santa Anna was a dedicated Mexican who always came when his people needed him (and sometimes when they didn't).
