Mexico: Hidalgo to the Republic
Captions available
The idea
Hidalgo's Grito de Dolores of eighteen ten called peasants and miners against the viceroyalty; his social demands cost him creole support. In eighteen twenty-one Iturbide's Plan de Iguala won independence as a monarchy; he abdicated in twenty-three and Mexico became a republic.
In practice
The Virgin of Guadalupe as national symbol.
Where people slip
The anchor's summary misdates the Grito to eighteen sixteen.
