1828 CE to 1839 CE

Santa Anna will repeatedly rise to the presidency, only to be cast out in the wake of scandals and military defeats.

Invariably, he will return—even from exile—to lead the republic once more into military glory or out of insolvency.

Santa Anna's bravery, energy, and organizational abilities will often be matched by his vanity, cruelty, and opportunism.

His feats of heroism in victorious battle, his bold interventions in the political life of the country, and his countless shifts from one side of the political spectrum to the other respond to the insecurities of Mexican nationalists and the vacillations of the republic's fractious political class.
