  Compraventa De Naciones

  title Compraventa De Naciones 

  description Linocut on paper, 11.5 in. x 8.5 in. Taller de Gráfica Popular, Mexico City, MX. From the portfolio, 450 Years of Struggle: Tribute to the Mexican People / 450 Años De Lucha: Homenaje al Pueblo Mexicano. The war unleashed by the United States against Mexico in the middle of the previous century, culminated with a sale and purchase operation. Santa Anna agreed to sell a large part of the national territory to the Americans. These were used, for their conquest, weapons, and, perhaps, bribery. From that ignominious chapter in our history, only the patriots were saved who, like Generals Pedro María Anaya and Nicolás Bravo, defended the country with bizarreness, although they were defeated and betrayed.
