    You only briefly mentioned it when Texas wanted to enter as a slave state, but the reasons Texas wanted their independence from the Mexicans is because Mexico encouraged immigration to Texas in order to counter tribal raids as it was vulnerable for being sparsely populated, but the settlers who went to Texas were American protestants and slave owners from the South. So when Mexico abolished slavery in 1829 and enforced Catholicism on them, these slave-owning settlers were angry at the government. After being concerned with stability, the government stopped immigration from the US and increased taxes, but the settlers completely ignored these laws. The settlers also didn't like that in 1835, Mexico removed the 1824 constitution, which promoted a federal system, in favor of the Siete Leyes which promoted a centralized one. They saw that as losing their autonomy. So yeah, they were mad about abolishing slavery and threw a hissy fit
    Also Nicolae Ceaușescu didn't die in November 1989, he and his wife were executed right on Christmas Day! Nicolae's rule was...interesting to say the least. Despite being part of the Warsaw Pact, he and his predecessor moved away in different ways from the Soviets. Starting with Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, after seeing the rapid de-Stalinization going on in the USSR, Gheorghe adopted policies in Romanian national interests rather than Soviet ones and stepped-up measures that greatly increased trade relations with Western countries. Nicolae continued this by calling out the Soviets for invading Czechoslovakia in 1968. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan caused Romania to distance itself further. And when the other Warsaw Pact nations boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics, Romania actually attended the games! And when Nicolae visited Pyongyang in 1971, he was so impressed with Kim Il-sung that he wanted to emulate everything. So yeah, he wanted Romania to be exactly like North Korea. And his wife pretended to be a scientist....several scientists have claimed that Elena had forced them to write papers in her name, and that the university gave her the honor of the doctorate solely because of her political position.

      I believe the Mexican government cancelled American migration into Texas as well, and they feared that the region would be overrun by Mexicans loyal to the government, negating the chance they had at autonomy.

    If you noticed on the Federal Republic of Central America flag, it's based off the flag or Argentina, or formerly the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata! This is because of Hipólito Bouchard, a French-born sailor who served under the Argentine Navy. In 1818, the Argentines sent a two-ship expedition led by Hipólito Bouchard to Monterey as part of their war for independence by countering the Spanish at their own game. After an attack failed, they made it on land the next day and the Spanish forces were no match as after an hour of combat with ineffective defense of a fort, the Argentines won. For six days, an Argentine flag was raised over Monterey! After raiding Monterey, he plundered Mission San Juan Capistrano in what's now Orange County. Toward the end of the voyage, Bouchard raided Spanish ports in Central America and raised the flag there as well, and Central Americans would see that flag and view it as their liberated flag, so they took it as an inspiration for their own flag
    Another country that no longer exists: South Yemen or the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. South Yemen's origins can be traced to 1874 with the creation of the British Colony of Aden and the Aden Protectorate, which consisted of two-thirds of present-day Yemen. Prior to 1937, what was to become the Colony of Aden had been governed as a part of British India, originally as the Aden Settlement subordinate to the Bombay Presidency and then as a Chief Commissioner's province. After the collapse of Aden Protectorate, a state of emergency was declared in 1963, when the National Liberation Front and the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen rebelled against the British rule. The Federation of South Arabia and the Protectorate of South Arabia were overthrown to become People's Republic of South Yemen in November 1967, which later changed its name to the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen after the reforms that happened a year from the Corrective Move, with it becoming a Marxist-Leninist one-party state in 1969 and was supported by Cuba, East Germany, North Korea and the USSR. Despite its efforts to bring stability into the region, it was involved in a brief civil war in 1986. South Yemen was unified with the US-backed North Yemen in May 1990 to form the present-day Yemen

    Just one thing to add! The flag of the countries that broke out from the Republic of Central America don’t have their flags that way just bc of the FRCA itself, I mean yes, but just partially. There’s another main reason before that one, and the original one. They are all inspired and/or influenced by the several Argentinian (United Provinces of Rio de la Plata at that time) incursions by sea to that area of the continent.
    Most of them were conducted by the Franco-Argentinian admiral Bouchard.
