Ernesto Zedillo, the last of the unbroken 71-year line of PRI presidents in Mexico, is sometimes credited for enabling the country's first (somewhat) open presidential elections. How much was he personally responsible for this, rather than, e.g., a broader decline in the PRI's institutional power?

The earliest versions of Mexican independence hero Miguel Hidalgo's Shout of Dolores have him saying "Long live Ferdinand VII!", so why is seemingly nobody willing to say he was a small-r royalist or a monarchist who was merely opposed to the colonial government in New Spain?

Most early versions of the Shout of Dolores by Mexican independence leader Miguel Hidalgo have him saying "Long live Ferdinand VII!" In that case, why do searches for "Miguel Hidalgo was a royalist" (or its Spanish equivalent) turn up nothing?

Modern-day Scandinavians seem, for lack of better descriptors, very peaceful and laid-back. How long have they been seen as such? Does it have anything to do with the most warlike persons "going a-viking" and having their children abroad, leaving only the peaceful Scandinavians to reproduce at home?

The 18th-c. English poet Alexander Pope was, true to his surname, from an English Catholic family. Do we know if there is any connection between his family's Catholicism and how they came by that ever-so-appropriate last name?
