When did start the Mexican independence war and when?

Question

I'm going to give 10 points to the best and the trully answer, so lets go and learn something interesting of people who fighted for 10 years for have their independence.

Answer 1

On September 16, 1810, independence from Spain was declared by Miguel Hidalgo in the small town of Dolores, causing a long war that eventually led to recognized independence in 1821 and the creation of an ephemeral First Mexican Empire with Agustín de Iturbide as first and only emperor, deposed in 1823 by the republican forces. In 1824, a republican constitution was drafted creating the United Mexican States with Guadalupe Victoria as its first President. The first four decades of independent Mexico were marked by a constant strife between federalists (those who supported the federal form of government stipulated in the 1824 constitution) and centralists (who proposed a hierarchical form of government in which all local authorities were appointed and subject to a central authority). General Antonio López de Santa Anna was a strong influence in Mexican politics, a centralist and a two-time dictator. In 1836, he approved the Siete Leyes, a radical amendment to the constitution that institutionalized the centralized form of government, after which Texas declared independence from Mexico, obtained in 1836. The annexation of Texas by the United States created a border dispute that would cause the Mexican-American War. This war resulted in the defeat of Mexico and as a result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), Mexico lost one third of its surface area to the United States.

Dissatisfaction with Santa Anna's return to power, and his unconstitutional rule, led to the liberal Revolution of Ayutla, which initiated an era of liberal reforms, known as La Reforma, after which a new constitution was drafted that reestablished federalism as the form of government. In the 1860s the country again suffered a military occupation, this time by France, seeking to establish the Hapsburg Archduke Ferdinand Maximillian of Austria as Emperor of Mexico with support from the Catholic clergy and the conservative Creoles. This Second Mexican Empire was fought off by the then president of the Republic, the Zapotec Indian Benito Juárez, who managed to restore the republic in 1867.

Porfirio Díaz, a republican general during the French intervention, ruled Mexico from 1876-1880 and then from 1880-1911 in five consecutive reelections. The period of his rule is known as the Porfiriato, which was characterized by remarkable economic achievements, investments in art and sciences, but also of huge economic inequality and political repression. An obvious and preposterous electoral fraud that led to his fifth reelection sparked the Mexican Revolution of 1910, initially led by Francisco I. Madero. Díaz resigned in 1911 and Madero was elected president but overthrown and murdered in a coup d'état in 1913 led by a conservative general named Victoriano Huerta after a secret council held with the American ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. This re-ignited the civil war, with participants such as Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata who formed their own forces. A third force, the constitutional army led by Venustiano Carranza, managed to bring an end to the war, and radically amended the 1857 Constitution to include many of the social premises and demands of the revolutionaries into what was eventually called the 1917 Constitution. Carranza was killed in 1920 and succeeded by Álvaro Obregón, who in turn was succeeded by Plutarco Elías Calles. Obregón was reelected in 1928 but assassinated before he could assume power. Shortly after, Calles founded the National Revolutionary Party (PNR), later renamed the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) who became the most influential party during the next 70 years.

Answer 2

The unsuccessful one began in 1810, the successful one in 1819. You have to know some Spanish history to understand why either happened. Anyhow, the Mexican flag carried the date 1821 for quite a few years, even though that "independence" led to nothing but the Iturbide dictatorship.

I should know better than to try to answer questions like this.

Answer 3

That would be Great Britain around 1814. Mexico became a French territory with a French "King" when Napoleon conquered Spain. He installed a governor in Mexico, but to give him some hoped for legitimacy, he was called "King." When England liberated Spain, Mexico automatically became a free state, there was no war at all. What happened was that a few Mexican Police fought the 30 or so French Soldiers who were stationed in the Palace built by the French for their Governor\King. Almost all the French soldiers were killed.

Answer 4

Spain officially did not recognized Mexican independence until December 1836.

Answer 5

The first Mexican revolution, against Spain, began in 1810. Father Hildalgo is said to be the father of the first Mexican Revolution--something about ringing a bell for freedom. The second Mexican Revolution was about one hundred years later and was a revolt against a highly corrupt government.

Answer 6

Let's see, the Mexican's overthrew the Spanish, than later many Mexican states including Texas tried to overthrow Santa Anna, than Mexico overthrew the French and later they fought a series of civil wars during the early 1900's during which American troops entered Mexico to protect american citizens living there.

Answer 7
