Mexico has been through its fair share of injustice when it comes to foreign powers, and I'm not even talking of that time when they signed away 55% of its territory to the United States of America, but of something much more ridiculous.

You see, in the 1830s, a small dispute over a local bakery turned into an international geopolitical conflict between Mexico and France, with bombings, embargoes and tensions heightened to the maximum. It also led us to learn just how vulnerable Latin American countries were when faced with a European tyrant.


But this small description isn't enough to explain how bizarre the entire situation was, so I recommend you check out this week's episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast!
