Mexico and central amerika. The French intervention in meksike

you are: Mexico and central amerika

The French intervention in Mexico in 1861 has given the chance to known number of the French officers to investigate a considerable part of territory of the country and though they did not have a toolkit necessary for scientific work, their supervision have big enough value. More the close acquaintance with geography of Mexico was promoted by the French ethnographers: Brasser-de-Burbur, visited Mexico in 1864 and travelled number of the countries of the world, and visited twice in Mexico (1857-1861 and 1880-1883) D.Sharnej, just as German scientists, including Rattselja (1871 and 1875) and background Ratsa (1883).

Among set of foreign scientists coming to Mexico, each of which promoted drawing of any new details on the general card of Mexico, it is necessary to allocate Charles Lumgoltsa who made four expeditions to northwest Mexico during the period with 1890 for 1898 and has renewed research of this area of Mexico within the first decade of a current century. Though he was interested mainly in anthropology, it worked in such areas of Mexico where for all XIX century the foot of the European did not go and which have not been described by any eyewitness since time of expedition of Crowns and to. In this part of Mexico just as in the south and in the southwest, there are still considerable not photographed territories; east part of the country, on the contrary, is captured by reliable enough cards. In general it is possible to tell, that the geography of Mexico well-known and that hardly will lead detailed studying of not photographed areas to any stunning opening.
