Mexican Independence

The Mexican independence started with Miguel Hidalgo’s call on September 16 in 1810. It was a war against the Spanish oppression, The Spanish kingdom was the only authority in the New Spain (now Mexico), also French representatives arrived to Mexico and the Spanish were agree to give the territory to the French as part of an agreement between countries but that only brought more disagreement to the Indians, criollos and mestizos, that wanted the independence of their country, and be treated as humans as equals and to have a government by their own. At the beginning Hidalgo had as an army nothing more than a bunch of Indians with no fire guns only rocks and sticks but they had so much anger contained so they didn’t care.
The independence war did not finish until September 27, 1821, but Spain didn’t recognize their independence until 1836. The group that fought against Spain were known as Insurgentes or Trigarantes, the history recognizes as heroes several men for their valuable intervention some of them are: Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Ignacio Allende, José Ma. Morelos, Felix Calleja, Guadalupe Victoria, Vicente Guerrero, Francisco Xavier Mina, Agustín de Iturbide. Doña Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez and Leona Vicario are the women that history recognizes and are grateful with for their brave and important roll in the Independence.
