General Santa Anna: Mexico's Controversial Leader

Antonio López de Santa Anna was one of Mexico’s most controversial leaders. Born in 1794, he rose through military ranks during Mexico’s fight for independence. Charismatic and ambitious, he became president of Mexico eleven times—often through force or manipulation. He played a central role in major events like the Texas Revolution and the Alamo, and later, the Mexican-American War. His leadership style was dramatic, often marked by shifting loyalties and exile. After losing half of Mexico’s territory to the U.S., he was eventually overthrown and died in poverty in 1876. Santa Anna remains a symbol of both patriotism and betrayal in Mexican history.
