When the Spaniards "discovered" Yucatán, they thought it was an island. Although they later realized that it was part of the vast country that Cortés had conquered, they were not very wrong to think of it as an isle, considering the zealous and independent spirit that has characterized its inhabitants then and now. Although it has been part of Mexico for 170 years, it was encouraged by the example of Texas, compelling the peninsula to twice proclaim its independence and create the short-lived Republic of Yucatán.

So mispronounced I couldn’t listen!
Revisado: 01-09-22
It astonishes me that absolutely no attempt was made, before recording, to get done advice on pronouncing the names of places and people - unsurprisingly, Maya names, as this is a historical book specifically about events in C19th Yucatan.
I bought it because of my interest in this particular period. I live in Yucatan, and the place names are important. I gave up in the end as listening was unbearable.
