Reforma

La Reforma encompassed a series of liberal political and social reforms in Mexico from 1855 to 1861, spearheaded by Benito Juárez and his allies, which sought to curtail the privileges of the Catholic Church and military, nationalize ecclesiastical properties, and enshrine principles of secular governance, legal equality, and free public education to modernize the nation amid chronic instability following independence. These measures, including the Ley Juárez of 1855 abolishing clerical and military fueros (special legal immunities), the Ley Lerdo of 1856 mandating the sale of non-agricultural church lands to stimulate economic growth, and the 1857 Constitution establishing civil liberties and a one-term presidency, represented a direct challenge to entrenched conservative interests tied to the Church's vast influence. The reforms precipitated the Reform War (1857–1861), a bloody civil conflict between liberal republicans and clerical-conservative forces that devastated the economy and infrastructure but ultimately secured liberal dominance, paving the way for Juárez's resistance against subsequent French intervention. While hailed by proponents as foundational to Mexico's secular state and rule of law, the era's radical anticlericalism fueled deep societal divisions, peasant uprisings in some regions, and long-term resentment among traditionalist groups, underscoring the causal tensions between imposed modernization and cultural realities.

Historical Events and Periods

La Reforma

La Reforma encompassed a series of anticlerical and liberal measures implemented in Mexico from 1855 to 1860, primarily under the leadership of Benito Juárez, aimed at curtailing the political and economic influence of the Catholic Church and military, establishing secular governance, and promoting individual rights and economic liberalization. These reforms followed the ouster of conservative dictator Antonio López de Santa Anna via the Plan de Ayutla on March 1, 1854, which installed liberal Ignacio Comonfort as provisional president and set the stage for constitutional change. The period's laws addressed longstanding grievances over clerical and military privileges (fueros), which liberals argued perpetuated inequality and stalled national development by concentrating land and wealth in non-productive hands. The initial major legislation was the Ley Juárez, enacted on November 23, 1855, which abolished special and tribunals, subjecting and officers to courts for common crimes and thereby enforcing legal equality. This was followed by the Ley Lerdo on June 25, 1856, which mandated the sale of urban and rural properties owned by the (except active worship sites) and communal lands, intending to redistribute assets to private owners and stimulate agricultural productivity; the , holding an estimated 50% of Mexico's real estate by some contemporary accounts, was seen as a barrier to . The Federal Constitution of 1857, promulgated on February 5, 1857, enshrined these principles federally, guaranteeing freedoms of speech, press, and conscience, prohibiting , establishing universal male , and banning future fueros while limiting involvement in education and politics. Amid conservative backlash, including the failed Plan de Tacubaya coup in December 1857 that elevated to full , the Laws of 1859 intensified . Issued between February and March 1859 from —where liberals had retreated—these decrees nationalized remaining Church properties, suppressed monastic orders, instituted and under state authority, and transferred birth, death, and registries from to civil control, effectively severing church-state ties. were barred from wearing habits outside churches and prohibited from political commentary, with religious processions restricted indoors. These measures, while advancing liberal ideals of rational governance and property rights, provoked the (1857–1861), pitting 's forces against conservative coalitions backed by clerical interests, resulting in over 100,000 deaths and widespread devastation before liberal victory in 1861. Economically, La Reforma sought to unlock Church-held assets—valued at tens of millions of pesos—for and , though faced resistance and uneven sales, often benefiting elites rather than broad peasantry. Politically, it entrenched against centralist , influencing Mexico's trajectory toward modernity despite subsequent French intervention (1862–1867). Juárez's enforcement, from and then capital recapture, underscored the reforms' causal role in dismantling colonial-era privileges, though critics, including conservative historians, contend they exacerbated social divisions without immediate prosperity gains.

Reform War

The , also known as the War of the Three Years (Spanish: Guerra de Reforma or Guerra de Tres Años), was a civil conflict in between liberal republican forces under and conservative forces backed by the , military elites, and landowners, lasting from December 17, 1857, to January 11, 1861. The war arose from irreconcilable ideological divides following the enactment of liberal reforms during period, with liberals advocating , land redistribution, and reduced clerical influence to modernize the economy and reduce foreign debt, while conservatives sought to preserve traditional monarchical and ecclesiastical privileges amid Mexico's post-independence instability. The immediate trigger was the conservative pronunciamiento of the Plan of on December 17, 1857, issued by General Félix Zuloaga and supported by , which annulled the progressive Constitution of 1857—enacted on February 5, 1857, to establish , , and limits on power—and dissolved Congress, leading to Comonfort's resignation and the installation of a conservative . , as president, assumed the presidency under the contested constitution and fled Mexico City for , then , establishing a there by January 19, 1858, while conservatives under Zuloaga controlled the capital and much of central . From , liberals financed their war effort through customs revenues and loans, enacting the core Reform Laws on July 7, 1859, which nationalized properties (estimated at over 100 million pesos in assets), suppressed monasteries, legalized and , and mandated civil registries for births and deaths, stripping the Church of legal monopolies and generating funds for the . Military engagements were protracted and asymmetrical, with conservatives initially holding advantages in numbers (up to 30,000 troops at peaks) and urban strongholds but suffering from internal divisions and limited rural support, while liberals, often outnumbered, relied on guerrilla tactics, U.S. sympathy under the , and commanders like Ignacio de la Llave and Santos Degollado. Key battles included liberal setbacks at Ahualulco (1858) and Peñuelas (1858), but turning points came with victories at (August 10, 1860) and Calpulalpan (December 22, 1860), where 4,000 liberal troops under Jesús Ortega decisively routed 3,000 conservatives led by , capturing artillery and prisoners. The concluded with a triumph on January 11, , as entered , reorganizing his cabinet and expelling conservative sympathizers, though the conflict claimed tens of thousands of lives, devastated infrastructure, and left national debt at 80 million pesos, prompting Juárez's moratorium on foreign payments in that invited European intervention. Conservative defeat entrenched liberal but failed to resolve underlying economic woes, as asset seizures yielded only partial revenues amid and damage, highlighting the limits of ideological reforms without stable governance.
