Is the Mexican War of Independence of 1821 a hoax?
No, that's okay. Thank you for checking for me. Can you tell me more about the events leading up to the Mexican War of Independence?
Sure. The Mexican War of Independence was a result of decades of tension between the Mexican people and the Spanish colonial government. Many Mexicans were unhappy with the harsh treatment they received from the Spanish rulers, and there was a growing desire for independence. In 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla launched a rebellion against the colonial government, sparking a long and bloody war that lasted over a decade. The war ended in 1821, when Mexican forces defeated the Spanish army and declared their independence.
