Independencia de México

The Independencia de México, or Mexican War of Independence, was a pivotal movement that began in 1810 and lasted until 1821. It started when Miguel Hidalgo, a priest, called for an end to Spanish rule in Mexico, seeking freedom and equality for the people. The struggle involved various leaders and groups fighting against colonial oppression. After years of battles and changing alliances, Mexico achieved independence on September 27, 1821. This event marked the birth of modern Mexico as a nation, laying the foundation for its future political and social development.
