The first Franco-Mexican war, known as the Pastry War (1838–1839), was short lived, beginning in November 1838 when there French initiated a the blockade of some Mexican ports and captured of the fortress of San Juan de Ulúa in the port of Veracruz.

This Broadside decree " authorized [the government] to increase the number of permanent troops to thirty-three thousand men of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and engineers, of which one-fifth shall be of the second branch of the armed forces." and these were not to include current authorized troops. Authorized by the President and signed in type by A D. José Moran, the Minister of War on November 30, 1838.

The war would end with the Mexican capitulation in March 1839, its major accomplishment, aside from drastically weakening Mexico to the point where it would soon have to give up half its territory to the United States, being the return to power of Antonio López de Santa Anna who fought at the Battle of Veracruz in 1838.
