The Restorer of the Peace medal was created in 1955, when the future president Ignacio Comonfort restored the peace after a series of conservative risings against liberal governmental reforms.
Ignacio Gregorio Comonfort de los Ríos (12 March 1812 – 13 November 1863), or Ignacio Comonfort, was a Mexican politician and soldier who became President of Mexico in 1855 after the outbreak of the Revolution of Ayutla that overthrew Santa Anna. This uprising’s name refers to not just a narrow political goal of ousting the dictator, but a more thorough change in political direction via armed warfare.
The Plan of Ayutla was the 1854 written plan aimed at removing conservative, centralist President Antonio López de Santa Anna from control of Mexico during the Second Federal Republic of Mexico period. This event is considered to be the first act of the Liberal Reform in Mexico.
The new regime would then proclaim the 1857 Mexican Constitution, which implemented a variety of liberal reforms.
