Reasons For The Revolution/

Conditions of the Country before Revolution

The Creole population was always denied the access to the privileged government positions that were only qualified for people of spain.

People from spain came to rule the colonies and not anyone else.

The creoles hated the Spanish and wanted to free the colonies in order assume the privileges that the Spanish government held.

A law established by the Spanish government in 1804, led to many controversies because it attempted to raise royal values. Called “Consolidación de Vales Reales”.

2nd. Guerrilla war against the colonial authorities.

3rd. Creoles (full-blooded Spaniards born in America) against a temporarily liberal Spanish government.

Hidalgo gave the speech “Grito de Dolores” in September 16, 1810 to motivate the Mexican people.

Hidalgo declared the restoration of Indian lands to their communities and the abolition of taxes in Guadalajara. It was around July 5, 1811.

In consultation with Guerrero, he issued the “Plan de Iguala”, which declared Mexico an independent constitutional monarchy, gave Catholicism a monopoly on religion, and guaranteed equal treatment for creoles and Spaniards.
