Abstract
This article analyzes a series of understudied letters housed in the Colección Istúriz-Bauer at the Royal Academy of History of Madrid. The letters belong to the private correspondence between Ángel Calderón de la Barca, who served as a special envoy and plenipotentiary minister of Spain in Washington, with Javier de Istúriz, the Spanish ambassador in London at the time. In these letters, Carderón de la Barca issues his opinions and judgments on Antonio López de Santa Anna’s final administration (1853-1855) of Mexico, and he also outlines his plans for a European intervention in Mexican affairs. As a corollary, this article discusses the failure of the military alliance project between Mexico and Spain, which was presented by Buenaventura Vivó to Calderón de la Barca once he was appointed as Minister of State in Spain.
