EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the French navy's relentless bombardment of the fort of San Juan de Ulua, also known as Saint-Jean d'Ulloa, on November 27, 1838. The fort, a formidable castle-like structure overlooking the seaport of Veracruz in Mexico, was a significant obstacle for the French forces during the Pastry War. The conflict, named after a minor incident involving a disputed consignment of pastries, arose from French demands for compensation from Mexico for damages inflicted on French ships and their crews. The French fleet, under the command of Admiral Charles-Alexandre Coquard-Jacqueminot, had blockaded the port of Veracruz since October 1838, aiming to force Mexico to pay the indemnity. The fort's resistance, however, proved tenacious, and the French navy resorted to a bombardment to weaken its defenses and pave the way for a ground assault. The 1830s were a tumultuous time in Central and South America, with numerous conflicts and power struggles. The Pastry War was just one of many skirmishes between European powers and the newly independent nations of the Americas. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often violent history of the region, as well as the enduring influence of European powers in the Americas during this period.
