Rc et Ratio 97 RcEtRatio No. 2.indd 97 30/11/10 11:29:40 98 Rc et Ratio La deuda externa en la historia del México Independiente RcEtRatio No. 2.indd 98 30/11/10 11:29:40 La deuda externa en la historia del México Independiente Dr. Oscar Diego Bautista* n el mal llamado año del Bicentenario de la Independencia (mal porque la independencia de México fue hasta 1821) conviene hacer Eun repaso histórico sobre lo que ha acontecido en México en relación al tema de la deuda externa mostrando su origen y evolución. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo presentar un panorama general de lo que ha sido la deuda externa en la historia de México. Tal propósito se vuelve complejo porque este problema acompaña a esta nación desde que se independiza en 1821. Para salvar tal complejidad se establece una clasificación de la deuda en cinco periodos históricos: a) La deuda original o primitiva, b) La deuda ferrocarrilera, c) La deuda posrevolucionaria, d) La deuda petrolera y e) La deuda bancaria. El primer periodo: la deuda original o primitiva El 3 de agosto de 1821, Juan O´Donojú, Jefe Político de la Nueva España firmó con Agustín de Iturbide el Tratado de Córdoba mediante el cual España reconocía la independencia de México. Iturbide se proclama primer emperador de México y una de las primeras acciones de su gobierno fue reducir los impuestos cuando estos constituían la principal fuente de ingresos y los gastos públicos habían aumentado debido a la guerra, por lo que tres meses después de la firma de independencia el déficit público alcanzó la cifra de 300 mil pesos.

  • Thomas Burke: Southern Patriot in The
    THOMAS BURKE: SOUTHERN PATRIOT IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION APPROVED:: Major Stressor •p. MXnor ProLf ess<5r/ Di^ctor of the Departmentqt History Dean of the Graduate School Hud- Salter, Bette Jo, Thomas Burke; Southern Patriot In the American Revolution. Master of Arts (History), January 1971, 110 pp., bibliography, 30 titles. Thomas Burke, who emigrated from Ireland in the 176o's, played an active political role during the American Revolution. He was a member of the North Carolina provincial Congress which worked out that state*s transition from colony to statehood, and he served three terms as a delegate to the Continental Congress. He also served one term as Governor of the state of North Carolina. This study is an attempt to determine the extent of Burke*s influence at the state and national level, and the effect of one man*s personality on the revolutionary period in America. The presentation of this material is divided into three major divisions and an epilogue. Chapter I, "Thomas Burke*s Rise to Prominence," provides the background of Burke1s early life, including his move to North Carolina, his professional career, and his first political activities in the North Carolina statehood movement. Chapter II, "Thomas Burke in the Continental Congress," describes the most Important phase of his career.
