  • Chico Cano

    Chico Cano
    Jul 3 2025
    Before company B of the Texas Rangers executed 15 Mexican men and boys in Porvenir, Texas, they asked each one, “are you Chico Cano?”. But who was Chico Cano? It depends who you ask. If you ask the Texas rangers, he was a deranged Mexican bandit, who led a band of 100 Mexicans and stole cattle and killed indiscriminately along the US-Mexico border. But the truth is more complicated than that. In this episode, Cristina tells Carmen about Chico Cano.

  • The National Synarchist Union

    The National Synarchist Union
    Jun 26 2025
    The National Synarchist Union was a fascist organization in Mexico, and was most popular from 1940 to around 1943. It sought the unity of the Catholic church and government, and for the church to rule; although it never gained much power, its beliefs and goals are comparable to Christian nationalism in the US, which we are seeing fighting for control of the US. In this episode, Carmen tells Cristina about this brief organization in Mexico.If you have topic suggestions, feel free to email Historiasunknownpodcast@gmail.com or use the contact us form on the website https://www.historiasunknown.com/contact/Want ad free episodes?
