Introduction:

The period of the war of Independence begins at dawn on september 16,1810,

when father Miguel Hidalgo gives the socalled Cry of Dolores and ends on

september 27,1821(11 years later) with the triumphal entry of the Trigarante Army.

Headed by Agustin of Iturbide and Vicente Guerrero to a jubilant Mexico City. The

main objective of this movement (armed and social) was to free our territory from

the Spanish yoke and that, in every corner of the colony, the concept of the

viceroyalty would be completely forgotten.


A proest gethered people to fight to rise up in arms and fight against the bad

viceregal govermment.

That struggle would radicalize to become a long war for Independence

consummated until september 27,1821 to puta n end to the three century colonial

rule that the spanish Crown imposed in New Spain since August 13 1521.

In 1810 the first Independence proclamations were made, initiated by the Grito de

Dolores led by the priest Miguel Hidalgo, and in 1821 independence was

archieved, which erected an autonomous gobernment: the First Empire of Mexico,

governed by Agustin de Iturbide.


Diferent causes originated this fight.

External causes:

Napoleón Bonaparte invasión of the Iberian Península in 1908 French trops

entered Madrid and forced Carlos IV to abdicate the throne. Napoleón nomed his

brother, Joseph Bonaparte, as the new King of Spain. However, royalist groups

declared that the King was Fernando VII, son of Carlos IV, thus creating and

atmosphere of uncertainty in his overseas colories, including New Spain


Internal causes:

The burban reforms, issved during the regions of Fernando VI and Carlos III were

a kind of legislative amendments that sought to curb the economic independence

of the spanish colonies in America, causing new taxes and new measures that led

to bankruptcy of American companies. The disaster of the economic reforms, the

famine due to low agricultural production and the economic recession gave rise to

the criollos joining the mestizos and indigenous people to seize power.
This reached it is climax during the early morning of september of september
16,1810. Miguel Hidalgo gave the famous cry that started the armed struggle that,
for 11 years culminated in the independence of Mexico and its consolidation as on
independent nation.
