Nationalist Mexico (Quebec Independence)

Nationalist Mexico is the name given to Mexico during its rule by dictator Gustavo Sáenz de Sicilia from the end of the Mexican Civil War to its fall in 1971. It was founded by Sáenz as the National Socialist Party of Mexico in 1922, based on the principles of the Roman Catholic extreme right, extreme nationalism, and a strong central government. It grew in popularity during the Great Depression. In 1937 the "Nationalists" as they were referred to, stormed the Emperor's Palace in Mexico City, executed Emperor Albert II, abolished the monarchy, and proclaimed Sáenz as the new president for life. At the same time, the democratic, liberal Sonora Movement of the north refused to accept an authoritarian government, and civil war broke out. With the support of other National Socialist nations, especially the Confederate States, the Nationalists achieved victory in 3 years. Mexico remained neutral during World War II, though the government vocally supported the Axis.

In 1946, Mexico found itself in the awkward position of being the only National Socialist nation left on Earth. Mexico transitioned to a more classical autocratic regime. During the 1940s and 1950s Sáenz spent his time stabilizing Mexico and industrializing it. In the 1960s  Sáenz announced his support for Russia as a way to oppose the United States. The standoff between the United States, Russia, and Mexico known as the Mexican Crisis in 1969 nearly brought the world to war. Following the death of Sáenz in 1970, the country transitioned to democracy and a new Republic of Mexico was established.
