SANCHEZ LIMA, José Enrique. The Political Incorporation of the Soconusco Region into the Mexican Republic: A Multifactorial History (1824-1842). Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2020, vol.15, e500. Epub 05-Mar-2021. ISSN 1870-4115. https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2020.v15.500.
One of the gaps in the historiography of Chiapas is the incorporation of the Soconusco region into Mexico. Although the province of Chiapas became definitely integrated into Mexico in 1824, from that date to 1842, one of the regions it is currently constituted by remained «politically neutral». This paper seeks to provide an initial general approach to various factors that made it possible to integrate the Soconusco region into the Mexican Republic. It explains the incorporation of this region as a process that was gradually constructed over seventeen years firstly due to Lucas Alamán’s diplomatic skill, the Soconusco clergy’s political bonds and private interests, the internal situation of the region’s municipalities, and the political development unfolding in Mexico and Central America.
