First, it was the Mexican Empire (1822-23), then the First Mexican Republic, then the Centralist Republic of Mexico, the Second Mexican Republic, the Second Mexican Empire, and finally, the United Mexican States. The country went through a turbulent time and changed its status multiple times. But which conflict? Mexico had a lot of wars between its declaration of independence, including a war of independence.
The mention of a bugle and drums could situate the conflict the narrator mentions as being in the nineteenth century. The narrator talks through their fear of war and sets the scene for the memory, but is confident that they do not regret what they and Fernando did.

The song looks back at a memory and is full of nostalgia alongside themes of patriotism. Granted, the story from the song may be entirely fictitious, but could it refer to any real-life events? Whilst Ulvaeus may have just been taking elements that partly resemble reality, we can look at the lyrics to try and situate the story. This is more of a humourous exercise, as based on the above fictional account, the events in Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again! do become rather ludicrous. As a result, I will be taking the catchy song as a basis to discuss the war between Mexico and the United States of America in the nineteenth century. However, the beauty of interpretation allows us to on occasion ignore the songwriter.
