In 1-2 Spanish paragraphs, write a brief biography and then describe his/her important contributions. In addition, explain this person's significance in the country where he/she is from. You will be graded on (1) evidence of research conducted, (2) appropriateness of response, and (3) overall quality of your response. (20 points) You may use outside sources (Internet, books, magazines, etc.) to gather information for this assignment. However, be sure not to copy the information directly from those sources.

Benito Juarez

Explanation:

Benito Pablo Juárez García. 21 March 1806 – 18 July 1872)[1][2] was a Mexican lawyer and politician, who served as the 26th president of Mexico from 1858 until his death in 1872. He was the first president of Mexico who was of indigenous origin. Born in Oaxaca to a poor Zapotec rural family and orphaned young, he moved to Oaxaca City at the age of 12 to go to school.  From his years in college, he was active in politics.

When liberal President Ignacio Comonfort was forced to resign by the Conservatives in 1858, Juárez, he assumed the presidency and the two governments competed. His succession was codified in the Constitution of 1857 but he survived in internal exile for a period. He weathered the War of the Reform (1858–60), a civil war between the Liberals and the Conservatives, and the French invasion (1861–1867), which was supported by Conservative monarchists. Never relinquishing office, although forced into exile to areas of Mexico not controlled by the French, Juárez tied Liberalism to Mexican nationalism. He asserted his leadership as the legitimate head of the Mexican state, rather than Emperor Maximilian, whom the French had installed.
