"TALE OF INDEPENDENCE"

On September 16 of every year the Independence of Mexico

is commemorated, but the night of September 15 is "the
cry", because on that date in 1910 the priest Miguel Hidalgo
y Costilla rang the bells of the church of the town of Dolores,
calling the people to unite in a struggle against Spanish rule.
With this war they sought to separate from Spain and make
Mexico an independent country. FREE.
Hidalgo began the fight with very few men, but in a short
time he was able to gather a large army. The war lasted
many years and it was not until 1821 that the Spanish were
defeated and Mexico became an independent country. In
Guadalajara Hidalgo abolished slavery and since then the
people have united to say " VIVA MEXICO".
When the consummation of independence was
achieved, Vicente Guerrero and Iturbide were the main
actors. After eleven years of struggle, the criollos and
the people in general were beginning to see the
rebellion as lost. After long conversations in Acatempan
on February 10, 1821, an agreement was reached in
which Guerrero was placed under Iturbide's command.
This event is known as the "Abrazo de Acatempan".
This was followed by the proclamation of the Plan de
Iguala, where Iturbide modifies the agreements.

At first a monarchical government was thought of,

but the ruler (even if he belonged to the Bourbon
family) was wanted to rule in a liberal and
independent manner. And finally, it was established
that the only religion would be the Catholic
religion.

These were the famous Three Guarantees: union

(red), independence (green) and religion (white),
the first being understood as the fusion of
Americans and Spaniards.

With such principles, Iturbide, on March 1, 1821,

gathered his troops and swore before them to fulfill
the postulates of the Three Guarantees, the army
resulting from the union of Spaniards and Creoles
was called Trigarante or of the Three Guarantees.

A few days later, Juan O'Donojú arrived from

Spain, with the position of Viceroy, who agreed to
negotiate with Iturbide and signed on August 24,
1821, the Treaty of Córdoba, which ratified in
essence the Plan of Iguala. On September 27, the
Trigarante army, led by Iturbide, made its
triumphal entry into Mexico and on the 28th the
first independent government was appointed. Thus,
after eleven years of struggle, Mexico proclaims
itself an independent country.
