December 1844 CE

A coalition of Federalists and moderates ousts Antonio López de Santa Anna from the Mexican presidency in December, 1844, and installs Jose Joaquin Herrera as acting president of Mexico in place of the exiled dictator.

Herrera, whose government has already taken British-encouraged steps to recognize the independence of the Republic of Texas, backs off from Santa Anna’s militancy on the Texas Question.

The Centralist factions plot Herrerra’s overthrow.
