1838–1839 war between Mexico and France
POPULARITY
Of all the foolish things that have led to nations going to war, could a pastry be the worst of all? In 1832, amid tensions between France and Mexico, a group of Mexican army officers visited a French pastry shop in Mexico City and sampled all the baker’s goods without paying. Though the details get complicated (and other provocations compounded the troubles), the result was the first Franco-Mexican War (1838-39)—known as the Pastry War—in which more than three-hundred soldiers died. It’s sad what a moment of anger can incite. Most human conflicts—shattered marriages and ruined friendships—are likely rooted in some form of unmanaged anger. Selfishness and power plays, unresolved misunderstandings, slights and counter-aggression—it’s all foolishness. So often, our ill-advised perceptions or reactions lead to destructive anger. Yet Ecclesiastes offers wisdom: “Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools” (7:9). It’s foolish to have a short fuse and be easily provoked to anger, especially when God offers a better way—perhaps through “the rebuke of a wise person” (v. 5). Pursuing wisdom, we can allow “the peace of God to rule in [our] hearts” (Colossians 3:15). We can live in wisdom and forgiveness as He helps us.

I dag starter Per og Henrik en rød tråd med rare kriger som tema. Per starter med å hedre Kanelbullans dag som feires i Sverige den 03.10 hvert år. Dette gjør han ved å snakke om The Pastry War (kakekrigen) som fant sted på slutten av 1830-tallet mellom Mexico og Frankrike. Det som utløste krigen var en liten gruppe med meksikanske soldater begikk hærverk i bakeriet til en fransk baker i Mexico City. Noe som gjorde den franske kongen sint og dette førte til at han egenhendig erklærte en fullstendig krig mot Mexico. Mexico tapte krigen som førte til at Mexico måtte betale 660.000 meksikanske pesos i erstattning til Frankrike. Det er også duket for NRK-hjørnet. I neste uke loser Henrik deg gjennom The Great Emu War. God lytting! -------- Today, Per and Henrik start a common thread with strange wars as a theme. Per starts by honoring Cinnamon Bun day which is celebrated in Sweden on 03.10 every year. He does this by talking about The Pastry War which took place in the late 1830s between Mexico and France. What triggered the war was a small group of Mexican soldiers that vandalized a French baker´s bakery in Mexico City. Which made the French king angry and this led him to declare a complete war against Mexico. Mexico lost the war that led to Mexico having to pay 660,000 Mexican pesos in compensation to France. It is also the set for the NRK corner. Next week, Henrik will guide you through The Great Emu War. Good listening!

Frida Kahlo has become a name synonymous with strength and independence. She was born during a crucial time in Mexico’s history and touched the lives of everyone she met. She also was ridiculously hilarious in the face of horrifying personal events that would crush the average person. Seriously, this is gonna get depressing. To prepare for our series, we’re taking 8,000 years of Mexican history straight to the face. We start with a bunch of rain, then traverse through a confusing calendar system, a necklace of golden shrimps, a not-so-triste-noche, and “utter tragedy and misery.” Also, some art is sprinkled in. Buckle up as we learn about a Spanish king who hates pajamas and exorcisms, the French getting really ornery over baked goods, and America being on-brand with pretty much everything it does. And, then… Revolución!!! Series Main Sources: Ankori, Gannit. Frida Kahlo. London, 2013. Drucker, Malka. Frida Kahlo - Torment and Triumph in her Life and Art. U.S.. 1991. Fehrenbach, T.R.

The ransacking of a French bakery outside Mexico City prompted a reaction from France: It invaded Mexico. The post The Pastry War, 1838-1839 appeared first on Mexico Unexplained.
We've talked about a war fought over a bucket, but have you heard of a war fought over a pastry shop? In this episode, Alexis teaches Hailey how a Mexican revolution leads to a French blockade of Mexico's ports and how General Santa Anna's leg ended up in a museum in Illinois. Also Alexis accidentally says France touches Mexico and that they owned Mexico. In both incidences, she meant Spain. Podcasting is hard, but she cringed while editing it and had to write this note.
