Favorite In Mexico:
This drama, (cMunoz, Visitador de Mexico,' which was based on events in Mexican history of the colonial period, was the first real national drama in Mexico; and it set the fashion for others, many of them of notable worth. It is a tragedy in which all the principal characters suffer in the usual way of the romantic school. But it has many strong qualities which has ever made it a favorite in Mexico and in Spain, where it has been frequently produced. Rodriguez Galvan's bent of mind was tragic and his odes and poems, though forceful and poetic, are all tinged with this tragic hue.France tried to maintain a puppet empire in Mexico. The effort began in January 1862 when French troops, along with Spanish and English detachments, landed in Mexico to collect debts. The British and Spaniards ultimately pulled out, but the French soldiers remained and conquered much of Mexico. The Emperor of the French, Napoleon III, persuaded Archduke Maximilian of Austria to become emperor of Mexico.
