Battle Of Tampico (1829)
The Battle of Tampico, also known as the Barradas Expedition, was a series of military engagements between the First Mexican Republic and Spain. Fought from July to September 1829 and culminating on 11 September, it was part of several Spanish attempts to re-establish control over Mexico. The battle was a major victory for Mexico and marked the final battle between Spain and the new Mexican nation. Background During the 1810s, revolts broke out in the Spanish colony of New Spain, severely damaging Spanish authority in colonial Mexico. Various issues had caused the rebellions, with many factions eventually determining that New Spain should become independent from Spain and form a new Mexican nation. While the Spanish Empire initially succeeded in suppressing the rebellion, by the late 1810s, the Mexican revolutionaries had established control over much of the country.

Although the Spanish never regained control of the country, they damaged the fledgling Mexican economy. The newly independent nation of Mexico was in dire straits after eleven years of fighting its War of Independence.

Battles Involving Mexico
A battle is an occurrence of combat in warfare between opposing military units of any number or size. A war usually consists of multiple battles. In general, a battle is a military engagement that is well defined in duration, area, and force commitment. An engagement with only limited commitment between the forces and without decisive results is sometimes called a skirmish. The word "battle" can also be used infrequently to refer to an entire operational campaign, although this usage greatly diverges from its conventional or customary meaning. Generally, the word "battle" is used for such campaigns if referring to a protracted combat encounter in which either one or both of the combatants had the same methods, resources, and strategic objectives throughout the encounter. Some prominent examples of this would be the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and the Battle of France, all in World War II. Wars and military campaigns are guided by military strategy, whereas batt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
