| Abstract | "The Second Mexican Empire has often been dismissed as a mere parenthesis in the history of the Americas. Here, Raymond Jonas shows how important it is in understanding the globally destabilizing effect of the expanded US republic. Habsburgs on the Rio Grande is a rich narrative history story of how nineteenth-century European rulers conspired with Mexican conservatives in an outlandish plan to contain the rising American colossus by establishing an Old-World empire on its doorstep."-- Provided by publisher. |
