Primer Imperio Mexicano

The Primer Imperio Mexicano, or First Mexican Empire, was a short-lived monarchy established after Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. It was ruled by Agustín de Iturbide, a former revolutionary leader. The empire aimed to unify the country but faced political instability, opposition from republicans, and financial issues. Iturbide's reign lasted from 1822 until early 1823, when he was deposed and the empire dissolved, leading to the establishment of a republic. The Primer Imperio represents a critical period in Mexico's transition from colonial rule to sovereignty and highlights the struggles between monarchy and republicanism in the country's early history.
