Today we will talk about the cake war. On April 16, 1838, the so-called Pastry War took place, a war in which the French invaded the national territory for the first time.

Finally, on March 9, 1839, the peace treaty between Mexico and France was signed in Veracruz
My pastry!!!
The War of the Pastries or the First French Intervention occurred because some Mexican officers refused to pay for the damage they caused to a French restaurant and for devouring all the pastries in the place
I have suffered damage to my bakery, those Mexican officers caused damage to my store!!
The government finds no obligation to be indemnity.
We are going to have to run!!!!
France sent warships to the ports of the Gulf of Mexico with the intention of blocking trade and pressuring them to pay what they were owed.
We will attack the Gulf of Mexico
The French fired at the San Juan de Ulúa Fortress and attacked the port of Veracruz
Shoot!!
.
I agree to pay $6,000,000 pesos in compensation for French residents
Thank you so much
Faced with these attacks, the Mexican government agreed to pay the money they owed to the French
