The Puebla State History
What it was in the region that today makes up our state?
Between 21,000 and 4,000 years before Christ, in the region inhabited by nomadic groups and practiced agriculture and pottery. Found remains of these civilizations in various regions, tools such as axes carved stone, pottery and skeletal remains. The first settlers lived in places like the Valley Valsequillo. There were found human remains with an age between 14,000 and 7.000 years before Christ, in the Cave of Texcal. This was formed by volcanic lava flows Toluquilla and served as a refuge for primitive men.
In the region of Tehuacán, other remains were found in the caves of Irrigation and Coxcatlán.
4000 BC to 1521 after Christ, diverse cultures that formed the pre-Hispanic civilizations were developed. In them, the nomad was becoming sedentary with the development of agriculture, since they had to seek food, but tend their crops. The most important was maize, which is composed poems and legends were told about this crop, the main staple of Mexico to date. Villages were established and as they improved their crops, the men began to keep part of their production and some turned to other activities such as religious, craft, trade and warfare. In the territory poblano major Mesoamerican cultures were the Olmec and Cholula, Popolocan, Totonac and Huasteca.
From 1521 to 1810, a new stage in Mexico's history began with the arrival of the Spanish in 1519, forming the colony after the battles won at the Indians, in which the territory was part of Spain and the Catholic Monarchs in the new world. It appointed a viceroy in the "New Spain" which represented the interests of the monarchy in the conquered lands. The wealth of the conquered lands caused many Spanish were shipped out to New Spain in search of wealth and conquest of new lands for the crown. It was an era of slavery and inequality in Mexico that lasted nearly 300 years. During this period, was founded the city of Puebla, which belonged to the province of Mexico and was governed by a mayor. In 1542, Puebla was appointed Mayor a year later, the bishopric of Tlaxcala changed its headquarters to this city.
In the late eighteenth century the territory of New Spain was divided into 12 city halls and Puebla was one of them. Agriculture, workshops, trade became the most important activities in the region. Also developed pig breeding cattle, breeding of silkworms and cochineal in Tepexi in the city, achieving a bloom which made the rule in the second most important stores in New Spain.
In this period were built throughout the churches and convents, installed, schools, shops and hospitals, many of them persist to this day.
From 1810 to 1910. In 1810 it started an armed movement that leads to Mexico to free itself from Spain, by the priest Miguel Hidalgo in Dolores, Guanajuato. This is known as Mexico's independence period and in which, Puebla contributed to the defense of our country in the battle of May 5, 1862 against the French, who saw their turn to take over Mexico, with creditors then our country, together with Spain and England, as the newly elected president of the Republic had ceased making payments because the Reform war had left the country without money, and the priority was rebuilding the man.
Only France did not accept the arrangements proposed by the Juarez government and decided to attack to take over the government as part of the empire of Napoleon III. They went from Veracruz to Mexico, but ran with Zaragoza halfway managed to win in his first attempt. However, later to overthrow Juarez who, after 5 years finally expelled from Mexican territory, at the battle of April 2, 1867 in Puebla, ending with the empire of Maximilian. Puebla was in the hands of the Conservatives, supported the French intervention, but that day, General Porfirio Díaz, led by liberal army surrounded the city and raided overnight. Johnson was reinstated in power as President of the Republic until his death in 1872.
1910 to present. The government of Mexico in 1910, with President Porfirio Díaz, and with 34 years in power, the population was destitute while giving privileges to small groups and foreigners, which culminates with another armed movement: The Mexican Revolution that begins in the city of Puebla, when the brothers were attacked Serdán at home on November 18, 1910 by state police, as the governor learned of the plans that would begin and that the house had weapons. Francisco I. Madero had conducted a political campaign around the country, promoting peaceful elections to end the dictatorship of Diaz. This sent to arrest him when he was in Monterrey and was sent to prison in San Luis Potosi, accused of protesting against the government. Upon his release, he fled to the United States of America and from there issued the Plan de San Luis, which was supported by the Brothers Serdan, and had agreed to the start of the armed movement on November 20, 1910.
In Puebla, the leader of the anti reelection was Aquiles Serdán, who in 1909 published a call to the people. Arose as a result several groups anti reelection as Light and Progress Club, Claiming People, Regeneration, Ignacio Zaragoza and the Anti Poblano reelection. View The Battle of Puebla.
In the Mexican Revolution arose several leaders followed by the people, hoping to improve. Francisco I. Madero began the revolutionary movement throughout the country on November 20, 1910, with the help of Francisco Villa, Emiliano Zapata and other revolutionary leaders who defeated the army of Porfirio Diaz and forced the resignation of Porfirio Díaz. Madero was elected president, but was betrayed by his minister of war Victoriano Huerta, who had him murdered on February 22, 1913.
In December 1916, President Venustiano Carranza presented to members of a proposed constitutional convention to reform the constitution and recognize the aspirations of the Mexican people. The new Mexican constitution was proclaimed on 17 February 1917 and in it met the aspirations for justice for those who had fought in the revolution.
Among the main items are:
Article 3, states that the education provided by the state must be free and secular, nationalist basis.
Article 27. Establishes laws for the field and property of Mexicans over the lands and waters of the territory of Mexico.
Article 123 embodies the rights of the working class.
Although the constitution has been amended several times, has always kept the spirit of social justice that inspired it.
Being recognized workers' rights in Article 123, in Puebla, there were several strikes, electricians and streetcar in 1921 because the employer refused to recognize the formation of their union. Gov. Jose Maria Sanchez issued the first code in the state to work around this issue between labor and management, based on that article.
In 1930, Puebla had great importance in the textile industry. They formed unions confederations and unions to increase their strength and protect workers. The most important labor unions were formed:
Regional Confederation of Mexican Workers (CROM) and the Confederación de Trabajadores de Mexico (CTM). That was when the President, Lázaro Cárdenas gave opportunities for political participation by trade unions and was endorsed in the popular strength of these to confront the power that Diaz had given to foreign industries, which led to the Petroleum Expropriation March 18, 1938.
During the Cristero, who was a conflict between the Catholic Church and the Mexican government, initiated in 1926, was arrested in Puebla Archbishop Pedro Vera and Zuria, to be expelled, along with other church members. In 1929 a settlement was reached between both parties, that terminated this war and re-established peaceful relations.
Since 1940 he underwent a period of stability in our country. The poblano Manuel Ávila Camacho was president of the Republic from 1940 to 1946. Mexico participated in the Second World War during their time sending air squadron 201, as well as support for textile and allied machinery.
Puebla achieved economic and social development through the efforts of its inhabitants and the state governments. In 1982 fully reformed the Constitution of the Free and Sovereign State of Puebla, a basic document for the political life of the poblanos.
