Answer:

In the one-hundred years between 1810 and 1926 there were

many civil wars in Mexico. The last of these wars. La

Cristiada, was not fought, as were the previous civil wars, by

groups seeking political control of Mexico. Rather, the

genesis of this war was a question of who would control the

Church in Mexico. The war began when President Plutarco Elias

Calles attempted to enforce rigorously certain articles of the

Constitution of 1917 as well as two laws which he promulgated.

If Calles had succeeded, he would, in fact, have created a

church in Mexico controlled by the federal government.

The material to support this thesis was taken largely

from the Mexican legal documents, the writing of Calles,

other sources contemporary with the events described and some

secondary sources. This thesis stresses the religious reasons

for the La Cristiada and discusses the war itself not at all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps you :)
