Independence of Mexico

On the morning of September 16, 1810, the priest Don Miguel Hidalgo y
Costilla summoned the town of Dolores Hidalgo, through the ringing of the
bells of his church, to rise up in arms against the domination of the Spanish.

The period of our history known as the War of Independence begins (strictly
speaking) on the morning of September 16, 1810, when Father Miguel
Hidalgo gives the so-called "Cry of Dolores" and ends on September 27, 1821
(11 years after ) with the triumphal entry of the Trigarante Army, led by
Agustín de Iturbide and Vicente Guerrero, into a jubilant Mexico City. The
main objective of this movement (armed and social) was to liberate our
territory from the Spanish yoke and that, in every corner of the Colony, the
concept of viceroyalty would be completely forgotten.
