I loved the commentary. Not enough of us are paying attention to what is happening in Mexico and other parts of Latin America. But of the three previous revolutions mentioned, I think the second one is more accurately understood as a war of national liberation against French imperialism.

Thank you Hugh. We agree more folks need to be paying attention to Mexico. Thank you for reading.

Also, great point about the war of national liberation against the French. The First Transformation of the Bolivarian Revolution might also be understood that way, as a war of liberation against the Spanish crown.
