Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821), was an armed conflict between the people of Mexico and Spanish colonial authorities, which started on
September 16, 1810. The Mexican War of Independence movement was led by Mexican-born Spanish, Afro-mexicans and mestizos who sought independence from Spain. It started
as an idealistic peasants' rebellion against their colonial masters, but finally ended as an unlikely alliance between liberales (liberals) and conservadores
(conservatives).
