History of Mexcico Part II

Mexico's History Part II

Hello again! Today I'll speak you about the Mexico's history since the end of the Aztecas.
Enjoy and learn about this!

As you must know in 1492 Cristobal Colon arrived to "San Salvador", Guaraní's Island, he thought that he had arrived to the "India" but that is other history, now in 1521 after that the Colon's visit, to the new continent called America in honor to "Americo Vespucio" then Spain couldn't avoid the opportunitty to explote the resources of the new land, you know that in those centuries the global economic system was the mercantilism. So Spain found a lot of gold and silver in Mexico, and they colonized this new country and they called it "New Spain" for 3 CENTURIES!
The colonized was violently obviously, they destroyed all the civilizations and evangelized them.
Hernan Cortes was who in 1521 conquered Mexico, was a little bit hilarious that the Aztecas thought that they were gods, when they discovered the truth, was too much late...

Even though the aztecas made cry once to Hernan Cortes...he lost a battle and he cried under the sad night tree ubicated actually in the Mexico City, near of a subway station called "Popotla" by the way this station has the symbol of that tree.

Mexico had been subject under Spain for 300 years! 

But one day of 1810 (September 16th) Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla took a banner with the image of the Virgin of Gaudalupe, after of some conspirations, could up arms with all the population versus Spain, taking advantage of the crissis produced by the Napoleon's invasion in 1808, so they were succesful at the beginig, Miguel Hidalgo, Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, Ignacio Aldama, and others were capturated and killed just a year after, in 1811.

But José Morelos y Pavón continued with the fight, in 1813 he wrote the "Nation feelings" but he died in 1815.

In 1817 arrived Francisco Javier Mina and Fray Servando Teresa de Mier, those characters were important for the independence.

Vicente Guerrero, who was a member of the Morelos' team, and Agustin de Iturbide decided the best after of the independence would be an empire like new goverment form, so in february 10th 1821, they firmed a plan called "El plan de Iguala"

In August 24, 1921 "El tratado de Còrdoba" gave the independence to Mexico, and was firmed for Juan O'Donoju who would be the last New Spain viceroy...
