La independencia de México (document)

"La independencia de México" refers to the historic movement that led Mexico to break free from Spanish rule, which officially began on September 16, 1810, with the call to revolt known as "El Grito de Dolores." This struggle, marked by years of conflict, was driven by desires for self-governance, better rights, and an end to colonial exploitation. The fight involved various leaders and citizens working together, ultimately culminating in Mexico gaining independence on September 27, 1821. This event is foundational in shaping Mexico’s national identity, symbolizing the country's freedom, sovereignty, and the pursuit of self-determination.
