Spoiler :
In a surprising turn, the 1956 Presidential Election has taken a dark path when it comes to Mexico's future. The left has seen it's support collapse as Mexicans have grown largely comfortable with the status quo, while more extreme factions have turned right rather than left. This has led to the latest election having both front-runner candidates declaring victory. The reserved Manuel Camacho has taken control of the capital and much of the nation, but the notorious Synarchist Father Miguel Restrepo has claimed similar victory, with surprisingly large numbers supporting him, including catholic officials. President Camacho has stated there is nothing to worry about, and that Restrepo is a traitorous lunatic, but troops have been mobilized nonetheless. We will update the public regularly as the situation advances.

1956-1957: Grandfather's Dilemma
With a tie in the electorate, it fell to the Mexican Congress to decide whether Manuel Avilo Camacho or Father Miguel Lazar Ignacio Restrepo would officially be declared the new President of Mexico. As the vote took place, Restrepo swiftly fled to New Orleans to rally his core supporters, many of whom had never been subdued by Kobayashi fully. The priest's foresight proved wise; the Mexican congress declared Camacho to be President, at a ratio of 434:187, with just over twenty abstainers.Spoiler :
Restrepo, however, had the influence of the Catholic Church behind him. The clergy, long repressed by the Mexican government, supported the Synarchist claim to power fully... and publicly. Though many faithful Mexican Catholics did not support their parish views, even more faithful, who had made up a silent majority for years, began to protest in earnest. Even some soldiers embraced Restrepo as a candidate.
Spoiler :
The public tensions, and a rise in civilian skirmishes, made President Camacho nervous. Worried for citizens who could be caught in the crossfire of a power struggle, a curfew and far more rigorous policing was put in place. Troops were soon marching towards New Orleans by January 1 of 1957, eager to arrest Restrepo before the situation escalated, and accompanied by newly finished artillery battalions.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
As a Minister of Defence had not yet been selected, leading the operation was the Chief General of the Mexican Army, who had been elected within the chain of command itself. His name was Agustin Olachea, a career veteran lovingly nicknamed "Grandfather" by many troops, largely due to his fatherly disposition towards young soldiers, alongside wisdom and experience. Olachea came from an old blood family that had come to Mexico during the seventeenth century, and had lost much of their wealth under Mella's Communist Regime. Nonetheless, the general was a celebrated commander, but intel on Restrepo was slow to come, as many populations closer to the Amercian border chose apathy or Synarchist loyalty over supporting the federal government.
Spoiler :
The next anyone heard of Father Restrepo, in fact, was only once rumors started to circulate of him having snuck back into Mexican City, putting local police on high alert and leading to mass rioting between his supporters and Communist or Anarchist gangs. Then, in the middle of a meeting, the parliament building itself was besieged by Restrepo and about 1,300 of his followers. Emergency orders demanded that General Olachea immediately return and relieve the city. What followed was one of the most crucial decisions ever made in Mexican history, following moments such as Don Hidalgo's declaration of independence and Porfirio Diaz's execution of Ricardo Emannuele... "Grandfather" refused the command. Despite a kind heart, the potential for a Mexico with a highly valued military and "traditional values" encouraged Olachea to side with the Synarchists, banking on the loyalty of his troops. Most followed his lead, even as elements of the chain of command disintegrated, and supporters of Camacho soon found themselves on the weak side of the conflict, lacking true firepower. Within a few days, parliament fell, and Restrepo captured nearly two hundred government officials including Camacho, who were shipped off to Alcatraz. As Miguel Restrepo declared himself President on March 3, 1957, the Forty Nights of Blood began, where attempts at resistance by Communists, Anarchists, and even moderates were devastated in city streets across the country. With a swift show of force, it seemed as though much of the opposition to Synarchism had collapsed.
Spoiler :
Soon, under direct orders from the President and General Olachea, Mexican soldiers swept through Colombia and Argentina, aided by fascist sympathizers and scared politicians, leading to the declaration of the American Synarchist Union under Father Restrepo, a true continental powerhouse.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Before long, Fascist and Catholic legislature opposing immigration, protest, homosexuality, and other issues was drafted into law. Though mass protest shut down government operations, it was only a matter of time until the military response led to a restoration of order for the many supportive Catholics. Perhaps signalling the end of an era was Camacho's execution via electric chair for his crimes of treason, which was held on May 5, 1957.

1957-1962: God's Will, Rising
With Father Restrepo having seized temporary control of the Mexican government, he began establishing his cabinet. To the people of Mexico not directly involved in conflict, for now the political events seemed novel: their dictatorships of the past had come in a much more liberal flavour, and only strong leftists felt major resistance to a Catholic government shortly after its establishment. Things would be slow to change with the military eagerly backing President Restrepo's every word. His public image was only improvement by the appointment of Salvador Borrego as the Minister of Information. The position was a new one, designed to manufacture propaganda and act as a publicist of sorts for Restrepo. Borrego was a notorious journalist and anti-Semite, who soon began expanding his work from pamphlets and posters to film.Spoiler :
Even with Restrepo's regime encountering less resistance than expected, the day-to-day operations of government still ground to a halt. Meanwhile, the Russian Empire completed more and more astounding projects, including a massive research complex in Moscow, supported by extensive funding.
Spoiler :
By the end of 1957, the Synarchist Union enveloped the entire Latin American sphere. The Republic of Peru was taken without the firing of a shot, as General Olachea ordered his troops to ride down the Andean Railroad in a "peaceful occupation". Soon, the Spanish-speaking state joined Colombia and Argentina as a direct underling of President Restrepo's rule.
Spoiler :
Within the Synarchist Party itself, the power balance was still shifting. Salvador Abascal, the first leader of the party to breakthrough into major politics, had long clashed with Miguel Restrepo, and it seemed as though he had lost the dispute. Possibly fearing for his life, or maybe just struck by religious fervour, Abascal and nearly five hundred of his most dedicated followers marched into the Sonora Desert to establish the Santa Maria commune, influenced by Millenarian ideals and strict adherence to a democratic Christian order.
Spoiler :
Despite stresses upon the nation, Mexico had not lost its international reputation. In an analytical essay discussing scientific progress, British historian Arnold Toynbee wrote of the amazing achievements of Mexican thinkers and the strong support the government had shown towards advancement, leading to some criticism from those believing he had endorsed a rising fascist state.
Spoiler :
The government had returned to relative stability by 1959, and some Mexicans were astounded at how smoothly things were running. With General Olachea, the Mexican Army, and militant Synarchists subduing any violent opposition, peaceful protest dominated anti-Synarchist discourse, while many resumed their normal lifestyles. The economy chugged along at remarkable speed, aided by the integration of the entire Latin American economy. Soon, Minister Borrego was developing a nationalized news network to keep the right info in people's lives, while many Catholics celebrated the deliverance of their belief to power.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
With income rising, the Synarchist government soon funded the construction of a colossal grand cathedral in faithful Dakota, named the Great Church of the Holy Father. The site was more than a religious achievement; its spectacle encouraged tourism from across the globe.
Spoiler :
The strong connection between President Restrepo and the Catholic Church also warmed Mexican-Russian relations, which had long been hostile and littered with trade embargoes. As a show of changing times, the two nations re-opened trade with one another.
Spoiler :
Despite this, many were more concerned about religious rule than the quiet daily life showed. Los Angeles was soon filled with rioting led by its "sinful" populations in response to a Synarchist crack down on opium dens, bars, whorehouses and "degenerate" hotels, and the patrons of such establishments soon responded.
Spoiler :
On August 28, 1961, the Olachea Incident filled headlines across the Union. Letters between General Agustin "Grandfather" Olachea and Santa Maria commune leader Salvador Abascal were delivered to the President, revealing Olachea's plans to depose the unpredictable Restrepo and replace him with a "tamer candidate". Abascal ended his three year exile to rat Olachea out to the Synarchist Union, leading to Olachea's arrest and eventual execution. Though the evidence was damning, many soldiers still supported Grandfather Olachea, and another round of skirmished erupted in response before order was restored.
Spoiler :
As the final year of President Restrepo's "term" began, he began to press the Mexican influence on the United Nations. Soon, the international body was calling for the United Kingdom to show kindness and free the oppressed people of India, as this would weaken Mexico's "Old Imperial" rival, which contrasted the new imperialism of Synarchists. Unfortunately, the British ignored the demands, and only the Russian ambassador on the security council supported the Secretary General's demands.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Over the last five years, the people of Mexico had slowly grown accustomed to their "Father" Restrepo... but only because the true changes the Synarchist Union promised had not yet arrived.

Despite hoping to make the electoral position a permanent one, Restrepo was cautious to rush complete change, even as he abolished all rivals to the Synarchist Union. Under a new single-party state, Restrepo outlined that only those with educations in theology could compete for office. Meanwhile, Salvador Abascal, despite having briefly returned to Mexico City, opted out of running for office in order to better maintain Santa Maria.Synarchist Union

In the 1962 election late last year, we all remember the shocking results when it was declared that President Restrepo had tied with his rival candidates, Bishops Rivera and Miranda. Many in Mexico have feared another Godless civil war, but it has graciously been avoided. President Restrepo, believing the old practice of allowing the men of congress to decide the victor on a tie to be unfair, demanded a second election be held. Amazingly, the light of God has found a champion, as the President managed to win almost every seat in the second round of voting, now endorsed by Bishop Rivera. Hoping to maintain a stable regime that will care for the people of Mexico, Restrepo has now declared himself President-For-Life. May he watch over us.
It may have been God's will that Bishop Miranda would lose the election as well, as he passed away of a heart attack a few days after polling for the second election ended, at the age of 67.

1962-1967: The American Dream, Over?
With his hold over Mexico more or less secured, President Restrepo soon set about ensuring that other Synarchists would be satisfied enough to continuously support his regime. Bishop Rivera, one of his rivals in the election, was granted the new position of Minister of Faith, whose duty it was to promote good Christian practice and legislation in Mexico. It was this new position that helped enforce Restrepo's new requirement that non-Christians, particularly non-Christian whites, display a symbol of their faith for public identification. Spoiler :
The rapid expansion of military and government apparatus, while left unchallenged by the majority of Mexicans (rebels were quickly and quietly eradicated, with enough news spreading to dissuade others), was not cheap. Soon, the government income began to strain, leading to Restrepo to end his plans to directly absorb the Republic of the Philippines, especially when their pro-Catholic policies were already largely under Mexican control.
Spoiler :
By January of 1963, heavy artillery was now rolling out of Mexican munitions factories, and were soon camped alongside the U.S.-Mexico border. President Restrepo, and his newly-powerful cabal of loyal generals (who were rumored to receive heavy private incomes as well as other boons) justified the militarization based on "centuries of mistreatment of Mexican citizens by unrestrained American settlers and bandits". The rest of the world paid little attention to the aggressive behaviour of the Mexican Army: the United States were a decent trading partner, but little more in comparison to the world's strongest economy.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Soon, Minister of Information Salvador Borrego announced the creation of the Mexican Broadcast Network (MBN), a government-owned and controlled news/media conglomerate that would go on to dominate radio, television and film for years. Many of the films financed by the M.B.N. were Borrego's own propaganda films, many of which were anti-Native, anti-Semitic, or otherwise prejudiced in nature. At the same time, many old universities were closed down or re-purposed as post-secondary Catholic learning centers, hoping to teach young Mexicans to accept the status quo. It is because of this that many historians consider 1963-1964 to be when the Mexican nation entered the Modern Era, rather than Restrepo's actual ascent to power.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Following a 1964 Census, it was announced that the population of Mexico had topped one hundred million citizens, helped by plentiful trade, food, and access to health care, though disease continued to run rampant as the underfunded system struggled to keep pace with a growing population.
Spoiler :
Soon, the media industry, albeit still under government control and contract, was beginning to majorly take off. Massive film studios particularly erupted amidst the wealth and bustle of Los Angeles, many producing Biblical Films. In Santa Fe, the M.B.N. set about constructing their broadcast headquarters, a massive tower to sit in the town's center.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
After letting tensions between the United States and the Synarchist Union simmer for months, President Miguel Restrepo sent a formal declaration of war on August 15, 1964. The reasons given were American acts of espionage (of which there is some evidence from the 1950s), trade interests, and American aggression. Mexican soldiers soon stormed across the border to confront American soldiers who, while nearly keeping up in technological advancements, severely lacked the numbers and training of the enemy.
Spoiler :
Charlestown, Carolina, was almost immediately taken by Mexican troops. Following a string of brutal air strikes on the city, armoured tanks plowed through the remaining garrison, also placing Florida and Georgia under Mexican control. Only one unit of American tanks remained trapped at their fort, further south in the Peninsula, though they were quickly dealt with. The techniques employed by the Mexican Army became known as "Lightning Strikes" by American troops, as the thunder of aircraft would scatter troops enough for a heavy foot strike to begin. Soon, Mexicans adopted the name themselves as a nickname for such operations.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
By early 1965, the economy had stabilized, allowing Restrepo to once again redirect funds. Money soon funneled into the Intelligence Bureau once more, allegedly to combat espionage, but the disappearance of many major critics, as well as the rising weakness of resistance movements, was likely caused by the new power granted to secret agents as well.
Spoiler :
In a surprising move, Josefa Maria was voted amongst military ranks to serve as new Chief General (the previous elderly title-holder having passed away naturally), the first woman to achieve such a rank since President Bernal permitted women in the armed forces. Regarded by some as an intelligent opportunist, at only thirty-nine, General Maria began a massive recruitment drive to curry favour with the current government.
Spoiler :
Soon, Washington D.C., capital of the United States, was hit hard by "Lightning Strikes". As the President Richard Nixon fled the city, the local troops panicked, allowing the tanks and several old rurales divisions to easily seize the city. For most soldiers, the campaign seemed easy, and Mexican morale stayed high.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Another major advantage soon fell into Mexican hands. Remaining close to the Turkish Republic proved advantageous, as each nation's scientists and engineers were soon exchanging ideas to aid each other's interests. In exchange for artillery schematics and helping establish a Turkish News Network, Mexican scientists were taught how to split the atom, something that could have limitless potential. In Siberia, the Russian Tsar had already began experimenting with atomic bombs, and Restrepo hoped to catch up.
Spoiler :
By 1966, the march north continued as the American President secured themselves in Indiana. New England quickly fell under Mexican threat.
Spoiler :
Later that year, Presdient Restrepo enacted his plan of "Indian Resettlement" by moving non-assimilated cultures into new homes maintained by the federal government. These reserves would be little more than internment camps, filled with heavy restrictions, forced Catholic schooling, and various abuses, all so that former Native land could be used for farming and industry.
Spoiler :
The next year, an important development took place involving the internal politics of the National Synarchist Union; Abascal ended his self-imposed exile and returned to government, and was quickly granted a position as Minister of Justice by a nervous President Restrepo.
Spoiler :
The Battle of New York proved to be one of the most tactically brilliant and significant battles of the campaign. The city had been heavily fortified by American troops but were still ultimately overwhelmed. Mexican marines forded the Hudson to provide cover for artillery shelling the city from the opposite shore, while tanks and paradropped infantry hit from the North, devastating the fortifications with a two-pronged attack. Before long, the city fell; a crippling defeat for the United States. The capture of their colony of Debal in India by Mexico's Arabian allies only struck home the loss.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
With the metropolis of New York taken and war against America leading to minimal casualties, President Restrepo had proved his hand at foreign affairs, and his tight grip on Mexican affairs left domestic matters settled as well. With their greatest cities captured, the American Dream seemed to be over, and the true era of Mexican power had begun.

1967-1971: Escalation
Unexpectedly, Father Restrepo's rule over Mexico was surprisingly popular among citizens, beyond faked approval polls. For the more pragmatic, Catholic Mexicans, quality of life had never been higher between a stabilizing economy, technological developments, and legislation tailored directed at their needs. As this demographic made up the majority of Mexican citizens, many celebrated Restrepo's regime, especially as the more brutal actions taken against immigrants, Communist dissidents, scholars and others were kept carefully hidden from the public eye through the Mexican Broadcasting Network.Spoiler :
In the late winter of 1967, a few days after Christmas, undeveloped and desperate American tanks made a push to reclaim New York. The machines rolled through in a blizzard, hoping to surprise the skeleton crew left to hold the city, but the cold made mobility difficult, and once detected, the American forces were swiftly destroyed. The Synarchist conquest of the United States was drawing to a close.
Spoiler :
The final stages of the invasion went into full effect by 1968. Lightning Strike tactics soon hit Boston, whose defenders, despite putting up a strong fight in the antiquated city streets, were still overwhelmed. Only Indiana and several Midwestern states remained under American control, excluding their nominal domain over Alaska and Iceland.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
With almost the entire Eastern Coastline under Mexican control, President Restrepo was satisfied, and premature celebrations were already being held for the war effort. This would not last long. Despite having quietly maintained positive relations with the Fascists who now ruled Mexico, the Turkish Republic, joined by a democratic coalition, was concerned over their neo-imperialist ways and anti-egalitarian ideals. Hoping to end the domination of the world by such powers, this Democratic Coalition (made up of Turkey, Brazil, Siam, the Kongo, and Germany) declared war on Mexico, instantly choking some of the nation's trade. Without an airforce, the coalition could do little to threaten most Mexicans at home outside of South America, besides launching naval raids meant to harass rather than invade. Regardless... the Great War had begun.
Spoiler :
The sudden global escalation of Mexican conflicts forced Restrepo to make peace with America, despite plans to claim the rest of their territory. Though the President of the United States had refused to surrender, he was soon overthrown by his own people and imprisoned, and the new leadership proved much more amiable to Mexican demands, allowing themselves to become a client state like many other nations under Synarchist influence in exchange for peace.
Spoiler :
If one took a look at the culture of Synarchist Mexico and the day-to-day lives of its people, one would not know war had begun. By 1969 the massive government-owned film studios in Hollywood Hills near Los Angeles had begun producing endless streams of propaganda films, on varying levels of subtlety. For many, the films kept their minds occupied, even as anti-government riots led by leftist factions rose in frequency and severity, and some goods originally purchased from the middle east began to fall out of trade.
Spoiler :
As the Mexican Army readied itself for global conflict, satellite forces already began their counter-attacks. In South America, an American expeditionary force previously stationed in British Georgetown saw an opportunity and quickly seized the undermanned city of Cayenne from Brazil, the first victory of the war. Across the ocean, Polish forces recaptured the city of Konigsberg from Germany, which they had lost over a century before. These quick victories by lesser states was already a display of how superior the Fascist forces were; a fact truly driven home by the sudden arrival of Mexican airstrikes across the globe from Istanbul to Mbanza Kongo.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Anti-Restrepo domestic riots reached a fever pitch during the spring of 1970, where public displays of frustration took place nearly every day, despite attempts at opposition from the majority of Mexican citizens. Newspapers across the nation soon declared that the dissidents were funded by Turks and other foreigners, and called for military action. The army, much of it still escalating for full-scale war, was finally called in, and over nine hundred Mexican rioters were killed on May 8, 1970, and over five thousand were arrested and shipped off to new "experimental" prisons. Later research found many of these sites to be inhumane, home to beatings and abuse, where prisoners were given little food. Hundreds would be huddled into one room where disease rapidly spread. The luckiest prisoners were typically lobotomized, a new experimental procedure that "removed the root of sin" according to government officials, and allowed the now "treated" miscreants to rejoin society.
Spoiler :
Restrepo, whose public appearances rapidly increased as he spoke "live" on television four days a week, soon made a deal with the Shah of Iran, declaring them another Mexican satellite in order to protect them from Turkish pressure, as well as consolidate their own power.
Spoiler :
For the first eighteen months of war, Mexico's only battles were at sea, against Turkish destroyers and the ancient vessels of the Brazilian navy. The Pacific became a deadly battleground as each side protected their trade routes, all the while moving land forces into position. Wooden Brazilian ships were often torn apart in seconds by the harsh artillery fire of Mexican destroyers and battleships patrolling the Caribbean. Restrepo himself commented that "the navy of our enemy is a sad sight. It seems they wish to send their good men to hell, swiftly, and us Mexicans, to protect ourselves and our faith, why, we are forced to comply."
Spoiler :
Though Miguel Restrepo publicly put on a brave face towards the war, he had no interest in seeing it continue, as it only drained valuable wealth and manpower. Taking advantage of Mexican, Russian and British influence over the United Nations Security Council, the global organization soon ordered a seizure of hostilities by the Democratic Coalition, as the affairs of Mexican politics were no concern of theirs, willfully ignoring the conquest of the United States. The world eagerly awaited the D.C.'s response.
Spoiler :
Political pressure and the unexpected strength of Poland quickly had an effect on the German population, who soon begged Mexico for forgiveness, paying reparations in order to escape the war. Restrepo accepted, and soon the Brazilian government asked to negotiate similar terms... their ambassadors were ignored.
Spoiler :
Before accepting Brazilian surrender, Restrepo demanded they be punished for their aggression, and also hoped to prove that the Mexican Union ruled the Americas. The army soon rolled into Belem, and the city was taken by the end of 1970. Only after its loss were Brazilian terms of surrender discussed.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
By the end of the year, the remaining members of the Democratic Coalition had responded to the United Nations' demand for peace; and it was staunchly refused. In response, most members of the organization merely arranged embargoes, frustrating the Union with their lack of a military response. More intense measures would be necessary to obtain a Turkish surrender.
Spoiler :
Across the Atlantic, the Mexican Navy and Army had been waiting for such a negative response to the U.N. With it obtained, they soon stormed the Kongolese beaches and jungles, accompanied by Mali infantry. Marines easily overwhelmed Loubomo, which had been defended by some men still using flintlock rifles.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
On January 1, 1971, the Synarchist Union deployed their first successful test nuclear missile, using a forcibly abandoned atoll in the Pacific as a site. Soon, such a devastating device would be their super weapon in the Great War; all thanks to technological developments the Turks themselves had shared just under a decade prior.
Spoiler :
The explosion "heard around the world" was soon followed by the capture of the Kongolese capital and their President in Mbanza Kongo, which too fell with little resistance.
Spoiler :
Spoiler :
Even across the globe, God appeared to be in Mexico's favour, at least according to President Restrepo's broadcasts. And soon, the weapon to end all wars would be unveiled in Mexico city, ready to cow the Turks once and for all.
