24 de agosto de 1821

August 24, 1821, marks a significant date in Mexican history as it is the day when the Spanish military formally surrendered to the forces of independence, effectively ending the Mexican War of Independence. This war, which began in 1810, aimed to liberate Mexico from Spanish colonial rule. The surrender took place in the town of Chihuahua, symbolizing a crucial victory for Mexican patriots. Following this event, Mexico began to establish itself as an independent nation, leading to the eventual declaration of its independence from Spain on September 27, 1821. This period was foundational in shaping modern Mexico.
