MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE
Mexico's fight for independence started in 1810, led by figures like Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos, and ended in 1821. This period was marked by a struggle to break free from Spanish rule and create a new, independent nation. The independence movement brought hope for a more just society, but Mexico faced many challenges afterward.
