Hey, I"m not sure if this was the right place to ask, but why did Mexico wanted to be free from rule from Spain? Any details?
Mexico sought independence from Spain primarily due to a combination of social, political, and economic factors. The desire for self-governance, fueled by Enlightenment ideas and dissatisfaction with colonial rule, led to the Mexican War of Independence, which began in 1810. Key figures such as Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos played significant roles in mobilizing the population against Spanish authority. The culmination of these efforts resulted in Mexico's independence in 1821.
