| Summary: | Century XIX was the complex period of foundation of Mexico after to have been part of Spain by three centuries. The optics around the newhispanic period was one of main the differences between members of just arisen Mexican nation, and in this way the conquest of Mexico became a subject from great relevance, reason why negative and positive visions occurred on the New Spain. The basic problem was the one to show on the other, which had been the origin of Mexico, that would be seen, on the one hand, like a complete breaking with Spain and the tendency to a modern and liberal way for the country, and like a relative continuity of the newhispanic traditions in questions like the government, the religion and the society. Within the personages who influenced more at this time is Lucas Alamán, that is well-known, mainly, like the father of Mexican conservatism and by his monumental Historia de Méjico, although also he was author of Disertaciones sobre la historia de México, in which a thought nearer the philosophy of history is seen and in which tried to write complete the history of Mexico from the conquest to its time, defending that the conquest had been the origin the nation, presenting/displaying a positive vision of that event and the newhispanic. It will be this part of the historical and political thought of Alamán which will be analyzed in this work.
