Talk:McLane-Ocampo Treaty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An entry from McLane-Ocampo Treaty appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 24 March 2006.

What are the sources of these article? Lateley I've been researching this and it is most likely to be a myth created by the Mexican conservative catholic rightwing which don't like the figure of Benito Juarez. It is true that he was exiled to the USA after the conservative party handed in the country to the foreign emperor, but I seriously doubt this treaty was ever formulated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Huguinvzqz (talk • contribs).

There are four sources linked within the article, and there are numerous books that refer to it. The treaty was "formulated" (whatever that means) and signed by the named parties, but it was not ratified by the US Senate, so it never came into force. --Dhartung | Talk 20:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
