Mexican Independence. Bicentenario México 2010

It all begtan with a "shout", with Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla calling on the people of New Spain to fight for their independence.

But history unfolds for a reason. Several events in Europe and America lead up to Father Hidalgo's call.

The winds of freedom are sweeping through the world... A war of independence is being fought in the United States to free itself of England, and the French Revolution seeks to cast off the tyranny of the king. These wars reaffirm the right of all people to fight for their freedom, for equality and the right to elect their own governments.

this independence was a lie, Miguel Hidalgo Y Costilla used our people (the indigenous mexicans) to fight a war so he could seperate himself from his people of spain. Thats why mexico is still controlled by spaniards to this day.
