Everything about La Reforma totally explained
La Reforma was a period halfway through the
19th century in the
history of Mexico that was characterized by
liberal reforms and the transformation of Mexico into a
nation state. Notable liberal politicians in the reform period include
Benito Juárez,
Juan Álvarez,
Ignacio Comonfort,
Miguel Lerdo de Tejada,
Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada,
Melchor Ocampo,
José María Iglesias and
Santos Degollado.
The Reforma is usually considered to have begun with the overthrow of
Antonio López de Santa Anna in the
Revolution of Ayutla in
1855. There is less consensus about the ending point of the Reforma. Common dates are
1861, after the liberal victory in the
Reform War,
1867, after the republican victory of the
French intervention in Mexico and
1876 after the
Rebellion of Tuxtepec in which
Porfirio Díaz overthrew president
Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada.
The most noteworthy reforms of the Reforma were the
Ley Lerdo, abolishing clerical and communal properties, the
Ley Juárez, abolishing separate military and religious courts,
Mexican Constitution of 1857, guaranteeing many civil and political liberties including
freedom of religion and the
Reform Laws in which the liberal government of
Veracruz during the civil war against the conservatives proclaimed complete
separation of church and state.
The
Paseo de la Reforma,
Mexico City's main avenue, is named after the Reforma.
