By the late 18th and early 19th centuries\, growing discontent spread among creoles (Mexicans of Spanish descent born in the Americas)\, indigenous peoples\, and mestizos. \nSocial inequality\, economic hardship and limited opportunities under Spanish rule fueled a desire for self-government and independence. Influenced by the Enlightenment\, the American Revolution (1776)\, and the French Revolution (1789)\, reform-minded leaders in New Spain began to envision freedom from colonial control. \nThe spark for independence came on the night of September 15–16\, 1810\, in the small town of Dolores (now Dolores Hidalgo)\, in the state of Guanajuato. Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla\, a parish priest and advocate for social justice\, rang the church bell in the early hours of September 16 and delivered his historic speech\, now known as the "Cry of Dolores". This moment marked the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence. \nThe war was long and brutal\, lasting 11 years\, with shifting alliances and regional uprisings. Although Father Hidalgo was captured and executed in 1811\, his call for freedom continued to inspire others. José María Morelos later formalized the fight for independence\, declaring Mexico's sovereignty in 1813. \nThe struggle finally ended with the Treaty of Córdoba\, signed on August 24\, 1821\, recognizing Mexico's independence from Spain. The Army of the Three Guarantees triumphantly entered Mexico City on September 27\, 1821. While independence was achieved\, the years that followed brought new challenges as Mexico sought to define its identity and government. \nThe first official Independence Day celebrations took place in 1825\, honoring Father Hidalgo and the heroes of the revolution. Although the war ended in 1821\, September 16\, the day of the Grito de Dolores\, was chosen as Mexico's national holiday\, symbolizing the start of the movement rather than its conclusion.
