Pretender

The "pretenders" to the throne are the creation of amateur hobbyists and exist only in fantasy. No such claim has ever been formally presented. This paragraph could be dropped, to the considerable improvement of the article. --Wetman 18:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are out side, can be a fantasy for you.--TownDown^{How's going?} 15:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of members accept Mexican pretender and wrote many articles. Do you suggest delete all? Motsu 19:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opinions

Although I do not question the accuracy of the article, it draws conclusions that would be better in articles dedicated to specific opinions about the events. Rather than remove these opinions, separate articles with supporting evidence or references to similar opinions would enhance and improve the coverage of the subject. I feel this article would be a better overview if it were limited as tightly as possible to events, without analysis or conclusions.

Other provinces that were lost

I came to this section after reading a reference to it in the history of Guatemala. That article suggested the Mexican Empire included most of the Latin American countries that now exist and yet I see no reference here made to them.

I'm sure that's an oversight, but it suggests to me this article is badly written and needs a complete workover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.61.118.111 (talk) 02:12, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Juarez owed his coming to power ???

Juarez became president of Mexico the first time as constitutional successor to Comonfort, and was elected president in 1867. He owed his power to his military victory in the War of the Reform and in the rebellion against Maximilian. In neither case did American soldiers participate. He did have political support from the U.S. government, especially during the war against Maximilian. I think the paragraph as it is now phrased is tendentious and it needs to be revised. Juarez clearly had the support of a vast majority of the Mexican population.
