The publication
exhibition catalog image found on page 108, with the caption: "American Flag in San Juan de Ulua, Veracruz, Veracruz, April-November 1914." In the current exhibition at the Museo Franz Mayer, is an amplification of large-format original.
On page 14 it tells the fact: "Also in this period produced a remarkable image of violence implied, with the American flag atop the mast, from a bleak view of San Juan de Ulua: the invasion was imminent consummated. "
The same image was used by the researcher Mayra Mendoza, in his article published in Alchemy No. 37, September December 2009, "1914. From Veracruz to Mexico City through the eyes of Hugo Brehme, and theme of the conference scheduled for Wednesday, November 17, 2010 in the Biblioteca Miguel Lerdo de Tejada.
first thing we need do is look carefully at the image on the right, the tower of the fortress of San Juan de Ulua, dividing the Golden Ratio composition in vertical, left the flagpole with the American labarum; Looking to the port is before noon, the Yankee insignia was raised for the first time on April 27, 1914 at 2 pm.
This image to be scanned from the book, suffers a distortion by the curvature of the leaves, so the space between the mast and the tower does not appear square, as indeed it is.
In the background the floating dry dock and left the dark figure of the protected cruiser, or sometimes also called armored cruiser Emperador Carlos V, the very name indicates its English origin, and is a veteran of old unit English-American War of 1898. During the landing of 21 and 22 April, was the only foreign military unit of the U.S. except in the bay, the rest were withdrawn for safety, and even boats came between aggressors to stop the bombing, so it was a rumor of sinking, the fact widespread in the Fair, The Courier English in the days following request of denial, but some of the sailors had to witness the shootings hidden in the store at Arista streets and Landero.

A little more in depth and right the French cruiser Descartes, on April 21 was anchored in Veracruz, in La Revue maritime, is published by the French navy in 1934, reports that in May 1914 Descartes cruiser parked in the port of Tampico, Veracruz and Condé in Montcalm was spent touring the Mexican coast. In July he participated in military coverage that the French did in Haiti, to Aug. 28 next to Conde joined the hunt for German ship SMS Dresden, and later was based on Martinique. During December the American steamers San Juan, Coamo and Carolina, were arrested at sea by Descartes, taking as prisoners of war to a number of German and Austrian, referring them to the island of Martinique.

Returning to the image in the background, three merchant ships with cranes for loading and unloading. Upon landing, April 21, the Americans captured three ships, the Monterrey, Mexico Esperanza, belonging to the U.S. and Cuba Steamship Company of New York, the three were unarmed.
The chances for us to image the last week of April or perhaps early May.
Mexican coasts were not only filled with American vessels, other nations with the intention of units sent to protect its interests in the Pacific and in the Gulf, the French had Jeanne cruises d'Arc, Descartes, Conde, Spain to the Emperor Charles V, the Germans in Dresden SMS in Tampico, Haiti Karlsruhe, Leipzig and Nuremberg in the Mexican Pacific coast, the British HMS Hermione and Essex in the Gulf and HMS Algerian and Shearwater in the Pacific, HMS Lancaster was available, and the Suffolk and Berwick from bases in British Honduras (Belize), Jamaica, the Japanese deployed to Izumo, Asama, and Hinz. Mayra Mendoza
Alchemy article tells us what was your source of research, a photo album belonging to the collection Teixidor, compiled by a German traveler or resident. It illustrates two dozen foreign vessels: "each one presents an overview of the cruise ship or by the name, to reflect the U.S. battleships, Germans and English who anchored in Mexican waters off the port jarocho. These are pictures taken between March and November 1914 ... "
The seemingly disproportionate deployment of the U.S. fleet, partly complied with the intimidating task of Mexico, but especially to neutralize a possible role of other nations with interests in Mexico , the so-called "Veracruz incident" not only led to the possibility of war between Mexico and the United States, also failed to start World War on the Mexican coast ...
Within the historical context that gives rise to the generation of the image, there is much more to say apart from the actual description of each of its elements the desolation ... word can be interpreted in two ways: to destroy, obliterate, or cause extreme distress.
The port of Veracruz was in no way physically devastated, destruction was minimal and very localized, to some Mexicans the fact of occupation was bleak, and not for others ... Let us explain better the picture is a clear reflection of the complexity of interests and interventions involved in called the Mexican Revolution was not a purely internal matter, although solved by force of arms was a matter of Mexicans. As has happened many times in the history of Mexico, the external influence determines the internal road map but not feel it or do not want to accept.
The military government established in the port of Veracruz, had no intention of imposing a trade embargo on Mexico, to prevent the importation or exportation of any merchandise, just to prevent the entry of weapons, and more technically only the character and military use This does not lead to the problem of defining when a weapon is not military in nature ...
The United States government could not find legal grounds to prohibit manufacturers and retailers in their territory, the arms trade with Mexico, but had no authority to exert similar pressure with other nations, therefore during Veracruz continued presence in the arms shipments arriving at the point of not having room to store them. They even led them underground, redirecting shipments originally destined for the Constitutionalists in Matamoros, Veracruz, and later facilitated its introduction.
John Mason Hart in his book "Revolutionary Mexico: The Coming and Process of the Mexican Revolution" tells how to Constitutionalist leader was so important port eviction or loss that would give them part of the armament, which sometimes indeed had not paid; The Duering Co, the largest of 48 German import companies established in Veracruz would demand the U.S. government to pay $ 19.751 dollars for the concept of weapons delivered to the Constitutionalists without paying.
Instead of having an uncompromising attitude towards the occupation and should correspond ... doing business. Even
military ships met acareo mission, the French cruiser Descartes return with a load of 7 tons weapons, including 500 45.000 Mausers and ammunition. In some cases like with the ship Krownprincessen Cecile, went back with all its cargo to the place of origin, Germany ... that was said officially, but on 23 November to take control of the port constitutionalists found a load of 6,300 kilos belonging the Krownprincessen Cecile.
According to research by John Mason, there is no accurate record of all shipments arrived during the period, far from its destination, as part mysteriously disappeared before the evacuation of the port, and one can infer that ended in the hands Carranzistas before the American withdrawal.
Madero revolution not succeeded by the ability to mobilize itself, or the brilliance of its military development, but for the support received by the United States, and lack thereof for the government of General Diaz, the shrewdly knew it and try to realize to save the ship in the best way, the survey organized by Pascual Orozco against the constituted government of Madero is the best example of what would have happened with Madero and his movement did not have U.S. support. The overthrow of Madero had the blessing of the U.S. embassy, \u200b\u200band the subsequent government was automatically cursed to again be the intervention of the northern neighbor that tipped the scales for the Constitutionalists, the destination government of the Convention decided by the U.S. president, not as we wanted to do with blind nationalism, the bloody battles among the different sides of the civil war. Alvaro Obregon deploy more strategic superiority, had not beaten Villa without the issue of arms supplies via Veracruz.
John Mason has established with the limited information available, that among the many things "held" in Veracruz, the Mexican army (Huerta) was ordered, among others: guns, rifles, carbines, shotguns, ammunition, barbed wire, guns, trucks, armored cars, shortwave radios, pistols, grenades hand, etc, etc., and 1,250 boxes of sodium cyanide, which when mixed with nitric acid or sulfuric acid, produces a deadly gas. This gas was used to control plagues of rats and insects on ships. In August 1914, the First World War started, toxic gases are used for the first time, the specific gas was used by the Nazis in gas chambers, and also use the Kurds against Saddam Hussein ... The
attributed to Hugo Brehme photo has said much, but that was the perception of the creator, or just was a good artistic composition ... was aware of what he was looking and therefore the proposal is chosen.
Although Hugo Brehme has been appointed as apolitical and neutral in many of the pictures attributed to him, we see a clear bias, a keen sense of social and political events ... regardless of artistic treatment.
How can we explain this difference in attitude or personality?
seem that in the work of two photographers Brehme with the same technical ability, artistic sensibilities, but with a different consciousness ...
O
coincidence ... Another way to interpret the image:

Between heaven and earth, the aqueous space of uncertainty, dominated by the steel of foreign military vessels. Their sterns point to the right ...
Towards acceding left right (diagonal), the floating dry dock, repair facility, the Mexican nation needs to go to the dam, but who will take care of maintenance ...
