    Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was a Catholic priest who helped spark the Mexican War of Independence in 1810. On September 16, 1810, he gave the Cry of Dolores, calling on residents of the small town of Dolores to rise up against Spanish rule. Over 80 men joined his cause after the speech. At Guanajuato, thousands of angry peasants flocked to join Hidalgo's cause, but he lacked military discipline and strategy. Hidalgo was eventually captured in 1811 and executed by firing squad for treason. Though not a skilled military leader, he is still considered a key figure who helped initiate Mexico's successful fight for independence from Spain.
