    The Story of Santa Anna


    Early Life
    Santa Anna was born in Mexico in 1794, when Mexico was still owned by Spain. He
    began his career in the Spanish army when he was only 16. Santa Anna first fought
    against Native Americans in Mexico. Brave and smart, Santa Anna quickly became
    popular with the other soldiers. He was given many honors. When Santa Anna turned 22,
    he was made a captain in the army.

    Politics
    After Mexico declared itself independent of Spain, Santa Anna became a politician.
    He served as the president of Mexico many times. None of his terms were very long, and
    he was not a good president. Sometimes, he showed little interest in running a country.
    Other times, he was a dictator who favored the rich. He made many bad decisions that
    made the country poorer. However, Santa Anna claimed that he wanted to help Mexico.
    So every time Mexico was in trouble, he offered his “aid.”
