RE: Guadalajara, Mexico Then And Now - A Tour Through The Historic Center

in #architecture6 years ago

No problem. Thanks to you for the vid! #History matters a lot to me; probably a lot less to other people, but still, for the likes of me, the clarification is important. We've lived deceived for ages thinking all sorts of things about our #European forefathers, when in fact, they were not as looked down upon as we've been led to believe. For instance, the great "liberator" of #SouthAmerica, #SimonBolivar, started his "revolution" to amass power and take it from Spain-borne #Spanish (he was a colony-borne Spanish, a #creole or "mantuano"). He also did not come up with the first Republics in #Hispanic spheres; the #FirstSpanishRepublic won the race there. Above all, he did not mean to revolt against the Spanish (at least not at first), but against the #French, as I already stated. So yeah, a bit of "Plus Ultra" from me. :D Thanks for reading.
