The Battle of San Joaquín in the War of Reform took place on 26 December 1858 in the municipality of Cuauhtémoc (Colima, Mexico), between elements of the liberal army, under General Santos Degollado, and elements of the conservative army, commanded by General Miguel Miramón.
Miramón had been informed of Santos Degollado's arrival to Plaza de Colima on 25 December, and that General Contreras Medellin, the governor of the state, had met him there to defend his seat.
When General Miguel Miramón entered Mexico City on 7 January, a series of triumphal receptions were made by the Conservative government.
stanza -Homeland beautiful places lauro in the temples of the young leader, his arms covered brightness He led triumphant everywhere.
Colima in the high mountains and also in the fields of stay, vile mob of foolish arrogance with his sword in the dust sank.
