"The Kingdom of Texas originated as a province of the Mexican Empire. In 1833, the Republic of Texas (la Rep\u00FAblica de Tejas) was declared. After the War of Texan Independence, the Republic was recognized by Mexico. The Kingdom was born after Mexico invaded and reconquered the republic. The Emperor declared a new kingdom, and placed his brother on the throne, intending it to be a Mexican satellite, which, initially, was the case. However, Texas gradually began to become more independent."@en . "Texas (Federalist Failure)"@en . "The Kingdom of Texas originated as a province of the Mexican Empire.
