More Information
1:14 Which was another colonial role appointed by the monarch.
1:25 Intendencies became used only after the bourbon reforms and mostly took power from the captaincies general.
1:25 Captaincies general was the head of the audiencias but also the head of other governmental powers like local military for example.
In general at the start of the video I am talking about the colony after the Bourbon reforms.
2:46 Of course the people from Spain had usually higher status then the people from elsewhere in Europe but they both where on top of the casta system.
3:00 In the early colonial period the word Criollos was used for all people born in america whether white or native or African however it later became to be used for only European descendence born in America.
5:13 Highest portion of Slaves was in Cordoba at 20 %.
5:14 However even though slavery wasn't really used endangered servitude still was.
7:27 And even though the Bourbon reforms tried to diminish this power of the church it didn't really work.
7:50 OK the French didn't control the whole peninsula but it was just easier to draw it like this.
8:30 City councils where the cabildos mentioned prior in the graphic showing the administration divides of the colony.
10:00 There where insurgencies against Spain before Hidalgo but Hidalgo is counted by historian as the start of the independence movement.
10:39 The reasons Hidalgo may have done this.
1. The terrain of the city he was coming from was mountains and therefor easily defended by the Spanish.
2. Hidalgo feared the mass pillaging, looting and killing that would happen in the city ones his army took it.
3. Hidalgo knew his army drastically outnumbered the Spanish but he also new it was ilequipped, poorly armed and always suffered drastic casualties when fighting trained Spanish troops, and Mexico city had the most skilled Spanish troops in the colony guarding it. He may have thought he just wouldn't be able to win.
14:40 There where actually two main treaties declaring independence the Plan de Iguala (which is the original three guarantees plan) and the Treaty of Córdoba which expended on the Three Guarantees plan. These two are usually cited together as they deal with the same thing and are obviously just an extension of each other.
15:13 He technically didn't escape to Spain but was absolved of his duties by the Royalists who still thought they could fight Iturbide . The royalists however quickly followed him as it became very clear that the revolutionaries had won.
17:05 Ironically these republicans which wanted to enforce the abolishment of the casta system are thought to have been supported by the USA.
18:06 Technically they where allowed the right to determine their own destiny by the Mexican Republican Government (they chose independence) but a majority of Mexicans where against this, calling it an illegitimate declaration of independence.

Pill Cosby not really it depended whether you were a liberal or a conservative. If u were liberal u supported Juarez and the Republicans but if u were conservative u supported the monarchy with it came support from the Catholic Church which was very anti-Juarez. With the country being mostly Catholic lots of devoted Catholics supported the Maximilian monarchy. My own family was divided at that time with my mother’s family supporting the monarchy and the conservatives while my father’s family supporting the liberals and Juarez. In other words it was a very complicated time in Mexican history.

Well it makes sense, history class is only so many hours per school year and there is a lot to cover. Each curriculum is tailored to what is seemingly important to your administrative area. In my schooling, we learned a lot about viking and manx history, but I live in Finland now and they don't teach either of those here. It isn't seen as applicable. Did I get some Mexican history... Only very little and only for the 3 month block of my GCSEs that related to the American West.

Side note for any that might not know much about Mexican history- Honestly it’s quite a hassle trying to find the exact or definitive story of events. Mostly because there tends to be diverse or conflicting versions of what happened. Prime example the father of independence himself, all his portraits are fake. There were never any accurate portrait of him made while he was alive. All existing imagery is based from vague descriptions of him, or entirely made up. Also there are many instances where most of what was recorded in the books was actually written down a generation or 2 after the actual events had occurred. And like with the portraits, based from vague, sometimes subjective, recounts of the events. Anyways great video, summarizes the independence well.

Points to mention. 1. Hidalgo most likely retreated because as you noted on point two, he fear mass pillaging, looting and killing , which was happening most of the time and his generals were concern with the non existing organization of the army that had allowed those acts which debilitated the movement, so much so that prominent General Ignacio Allende thought of killing HIdalgo. Also a major reason why Iturbide did not join the rebellion. 2. When Iturbide was made Emperor the first congress instead trying to put out policies to organize the country, was planing to assassinate him, so he disbanded the congress once he heard of this, however the second congress did not help either, which negated him his abdication. He wanted to abdicate because he wanted the hostilities to end. Once Guerrero, Guadalupe Victoria, Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana swore allegiance and even were members of his government turn on him. 3. Iturbide return to Mexico because he heard that Spain was planning to invade Mexico and he wanted help against the reconquista. In 1829 Spain sent an expedition force from cuba to Mexico how ever they were defeated. Note to mention the fortress of San Juan de Ulua In Veracruz was still control by Spain up until 1825. Mexico plan to take control of Cuba however in the battle of Mariel Mexico was defeated by Spain.

Adding to 1, his army likely also decreased in size because of logistics. Feeding an army of 100.000 men is very hard, likely impossible for any long time, without railroads or at least trucks. Thus it would have to be decreased in size as the foodstuffs soldiers had brought with them started to run out.

What's "revolution" but a name? The "American Revolution" is for Spanish-speakers and many others just "the North American War of Independence". If you don't behead a king or a dozen, then it's not revolution enough, also slavery... no self-respecting revolution maintains slavery, in today's speech (normally) "revolution" is a class war uprising, everything else is not. I don't see anything more or less revolutionary in the Mexican War of Independence than in the North American one.

Sure: there are other countries in the continent of North America, such as Honduras, Nicaragua, Greenland, Cuba and what-not but still the lack of a proper name for the USA and its sheer size make it as similar to "North America" as the EU is to "Europe".

Agustín de Iturbide, the man Mexico needed but didn't deserve. His nickname, the Iron Dragon, was not unfounded. He was a near military genius, and in reality, his administrative shortcomings have been significantly played up by his political opponents throughout history. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (yes, the same Santa Anna who lost to the US in the Mexican-American war) was one of the main men leading the uprising against Iturbide in 1823 in favour of a republic. Santa Anna would later in life admit that at the time, he had no idea what a republic actually was. His actual reasoning for rising up was that Iturbide had removed him from his position as customs-master of Veracruz, Mexico's largest and most important port, where Santa Anna had been embezzling and mismanaging the customs to a horrifying degree.

And yes he was one of the generals who participate in the Mexican American war he was not the one to blame. At the time when the war broke out he was exile in Cuba and he was having conversation with the EEUU to let him safe passage so he could end the war and come to a deal however that did not happen. The Mexican Govt. at the time was also talking to him since they had no more competent generals and wanted him to command the main army he agreed. When he landed in Mexico he mustered more soldiers and resources and was about to defeat Zachary Taylor but was called back my the Mexican Govt. who had armed the populace in Mexico City to fight of the Americans however they started a rebellion and Govt. wanted Santa Anna to assist them.

@MLaserHistory 5 лет назад
Belize was always under Spanish control. However this did not mean that the British and specially British buccaneers didn't try to control the area specially for it's valuable logwood. However these where always very much disputed claims, with New Spain almost always coming up on top. "After the 1763 Treaty of Paris conceded to Britain the right to cut logwood but asserted Spanish sovereignty over the territory." this was suppose to settle the problem but it largely continued in a disputed state until the Mexican independence.

Not convenient for the USA of course but Mexico's internal problems have always been terrible, up to today! It's fascinating how we had two Emperors in North America. Oh my Mexico, you would have been great and hopefully less violent. I have visited the tombs of both Emperor Agustin de Iturbide and Emperor Maximilian von Hapsburg. Such great legacies that are being rewritten to their formal glory as their stories have been stained by the opposing powers. But the truth always comes out! Hello from Mexico! Great video! Thank you! Could you do one of the Second Mexican Empire?! Cheers! Saludos!

It is a common mistake if you're not aquanted with Thomas Aquinas's "Just temperance" (there is a better English term for it but I can't seem to recall it right now). The point is that radical views throughout history have had the common trait of dividing and creating conflict where solutions not based on zero-sums are perfectly possible. One side will not listen to the other, because no compromise is desirable for extremists. Either one side wins and the other one loses, and we'll be dog darned if we're going to be on the loser side... That sort of stance never leads to anything good. While I agree with Rev.King's views where there is a minimum level where one should not compromise (values, ethics, religious views, and inalienable rights for example) most conflicts lay well outside the line of no compromise. That is not to say that one should stand idly in the center, which is an equaly valid and fiercely defensible position in the face of radicalism of any kind. Besides exremsisms, you know what else never brought anything good to anyone? False dichotomies. There are very diverse alternatives that usually lie between "with us" and "against us"

When Madero was assassinated other caudillos rose up against Huerta and the Civil war began. Caudillos such as Venustiano Carranza had National ran on upholding the constitution and Pancho Villa was part for a time in his army. Carranza comparison to Zapata did have a national project by trying to create a constitution with the help of other caudillos and intellectuals, representatives from Zapata also had a say in this new constitution, and that was his only extent. Zapata like Pancho never wanted to be president, so yeah he was not a missed opportunity since he was never at the same table.

A similar agreement to the one in Mexico worked out in Brazil; in fact, our independence was even more conservative than that as slavery was kept unchanged for a half a century after it. But that was only doable due to the fact that the conservatives took charge of the independence process and we did have a Portuguese nobleman to put in the throne - in fact, the heir of the Portuguese throne himself. As for a Portuguese invasion, that wasn't a major threat after the whole of Brazil was put under the rule of the central government. That and the fact that the Portuguese court had moved to Brazil some fifteen years before, combined with the cohesion of the Brazilian elite against Portugal and the fact that there wasn't such a strong caste system in Brazil, also influenced why the plan of making a negotiated transition did work in Brazil, though. Also, our geography is probably easier to unite than Mexico's.

The term colony does not apply to the Spanish Empire. This is used to create/force an equalizer between Spanish rule and other forms of governments by other European powers of the time. It simply was not. Colony is what was in the 13 Colonies, and French Territories like Haiti. Where a division was imposed and different rules were applied on the population, like how the British criollos aka Americans were not represented in the British Parliament. "No taxation without representation." As you clearly talk in the video, the Spanish ruled people had the Council of Indies, audiencia, cabildos, etc. A mulato as long as he was free, and they often were, had the same rights of a free white peninsular. Another thing is that there might be bias and barring of opportunities on SOME areas because of family background like being the child of a slave, etc. The barring of positions of power did not occur everywhere, for example the first major of LA was a mulato. In Paname City forensic and genetic evidence showed that about half the people buried in the old prestigious cemetery of the city, aka people who had enough prestige and money to be buried there, were actually people of mixed heritage, like mestizos and mulatos, etc. And examples like this are all over the place in the Spanish empire. The ones to bar POC were often the oligarquies entrenched in the major cities of the viceroyalties that did not doubt to jump the boat like Iturrigaray, Bolivar, etc etc. when the vacuum of power occured with the French invasion and whose families still hold political power in the countries of Spanish America today. My point is that this did not happen in the named colonies of the British and French, the children of British were not allowed representation in Parliament or the ear of the king, nor were the people of color as they are called in the US represented in government on equal footing as free whites in Haiti during the 1st French Republic. As a side note, mixed marriages were encouraged in the testament of Queen Isabel in 1504. Over 4 centuries passed before mixed marriages were legalized in the former British Colonies known today like the US... I repeat myself; the Spanish Empire was an Empire. An empire that lasted over 3 centuries and covered 20 million squares km, with different peoples with multiple languages, multiple religions, with equal protection under the laws, and privileges based on this or that, that seemed fair, or that kept the peace. Like the self-governance of the lands of Natives, and their nobles. That system of government was more in accord with Ancient Rome, and US today, that a British or French Colony of the time. I said my piece. However, I want to point out some good things you said, and I appreciate. Great job. Kuddos for bringing up the part that Native American elites that capitulated to the empire, kept their territories, privileges and received treatment of nobles same as European nobilities. Too often ignorant people make it seem like in the Spanish Empire POC were treated as POC were treated in the colonies of the other European powers. Thank you.

There's actually European books from the colonial era that talk about how warmer climates and or New World diet and or whatever other crazy idea they came up with, destroys (or slows down) ones "abilities" as a whole, hence making people born in the Colonies inferior to actual Europeans. The reason as to why such a crazy notion was created in the first place is much more nuanced (as it always is in history). It mostly boils down to the fact that people coming in from Spain or Europe had connections back in Spain/Europe which was where most of the administration took place, at least in the early settlement stage. These people naturally wanted the highest benefits and had the influence back home to arrange that compared to the people not from Spain/Europe. Naturally there wasn't a single thing you can point to that started this but it was more of a gradual implementation of laws over the course of the early colonial era.

This is one of my favorite historic pet peeves. Access to the higher echelons of power was reserved for insulars, mainly on grounds of a deeply Latín cutural trait: arraigo. To this day people ask each other "De dónde eres?" Which is more accurately translated as "where do you belong to?" rather than "where are you from", implying a sense of being owned by the land you were born, reaffirmed by the answer "Yo soy de xxx" translated as "I belong to xxxx". This goes all the way back to the original Latins: Rome. Thusly it wouldn't be far fetched to believe at the time that allegiance to the crown was deeply related to "belonging" somewhere in the iberic peninsula or that "belonging" to the new world made you more likely to have your allegiance questioned. The books you speak of, I could almost guarantee, came from British or Dutch authors, who were in opposition to most Catholic stances at the time. Also, mestizaje was possible because amerindians were declared by the crown as subjects of the crown and under the royal protection if the queen Isabel herself (cfr Queen Isabel's testament) so marriage between white Europeans and amerindians was not only legal but a fact of everyday life for more than 500 years and counting.

@ "Yo Soy" means "I am", "de" means "from". Are you sure you dont interpret too much into this? Of course its the same in English, "I am from Winchester" Now tell me please, does this only denote the place where you are from or also the place that you belong to? Grammatically, it can mean both. Admittedly English has developed away from using from as a sign of belonging, but saying "That Backpack is from Daniel" is entirely understandable, even though everyone would just say "That is Daniel's backpack". Correct if i am wrong about the English part, seeing as my mother tongue is German where it is similar yet different. But saying "I am from Guadalajara" in Spanish actually means "I belong to Guadalajara" does not convince me, I would need extensive discussions with linguist that can trace the origin of said expression objectively. And doesn't "De donde eres?" simply mean "from where are you?" So yet again, the same?

@@Apokalypse456 nope, i'm quite sure it's a "thing" and the fact it manifests through language is only a small part of it. Cultural expressions such as folk song: (Mexico lindo y querido / si muero lejos de ti / que digan que estoy dormido / y que me traigan a ti // México my dearest / Should I die far a way / have it said that I'm just sleeping / and have them bring me over to you ). Arraigo, the deep feeling of belonging to a place both geographically and possessively, manifests itself also trough law, literature, song, dance, local language and even politics. Not only in Mexico but also in fiercely independentist autonomous communities if Spain to this day. The Catalan people fought very hard to have it's province recognized as an autonomous region, so have the Basque whoncall their zone of northern pain Euzkadi or Pais Vasco (Basque country in the sense of Nation, not in the sense of Countryside) in both this cases the sense of belonging is enhances by a particular language. They may all speak Spanish, but in their communities it either Basque (euzkarra) or Catalan they speak. Same can be said of the Flemish in Northern Italy Siscillians in the south. All culturally Latin countries. I've had at least 3 Acquaintances who had migrated to the US, and unfortunately lost their lives away from Mexico. old age, and a medical condition. They all wished to be buried not only in Mexico, but specifically the places where they were born. Moving the body of a deceased person across the border from the us to Mexico is a beaureaucratic nightmare yet most people I know in similar situations, have expressed their wish to be brought back to their hometowns. There are other examples but Indo believe that this culturalntrait has an important role to play in the reasons that Criollos were not allowed access to the higher echelons of power during colonial times As for the way to express where you are from i Spanish I believe it's no coincidence that "Yo soy de Guadalajara" can be interpreted both as "I belong to Guadalajara in a possesive way, as well as I am from Guadalajara" in a descriptive wwy

Hi , I like your video. Why dont you make a video about Spanish-American War in 1898 and cuban insurgents. You could make another video about Ogaden War (Ethiopia vs Somalia) and Soviet Union- Cuba intervention in the conflict.

Spain owned a lot...on paper. In reality the Comanche, Apache and rest of the Plains Indians truly ruled much of the North of the "Spanish" Empire.

No, Spain didn't have the "extermination" policies that other European nations enforced on their Lands. But your statement could be use on the British (Lands). They did own a lot...on paper. But in reality much of the land "they controlled" was mostly deserts.

@@michaeloswal9847 no they certainly did practice exterminating locals and enslavement(see Columbus, Pizzaro, Cortes and De Soto) they simply lacked the power and logistics to do so against the nomadic and warlike tribes to the North after they gained horses. Comanche and Apache raided routinely deep into Mexico while Spain(and later Mexico) failed miserably at reprisals. This was part of the reason for allowing Texican settlers from US into the territory as proxy combatants.

@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 No they didn't. The Spanish Empire lasted for over four centuries. They had more than enough time to exterminate the population if that were to be the case, After all; they did defeat an empire in the Americas that was well organized for war and controlled the region for centuries, gaining the favor of the indigenous tribes that were under this Empire yoke. A proof of such alliance is the fact that they did fight along side the Austria's till the Austria Dynasty was defeated . British, USA didn't have the power that Spain had; yet they were able to exterminate indigenous life within their territories. So use your comon sense. Also, read the "Burgos laws" I am sure you don't even know about it's existence.

@@michaeloswal9847 The sheer level of ignorance you display here is staggering. I would suggest you read on the class tier system, the native slave trade, the butchery, oppression and yes outright genocide of entire cultures and millions of natives in Central and South America as well as the Papal approval to 'convert, conquer and failing that, exterminate any opposition to the cross' The Spanish used vassals and tributaries of the Aztecs as disposable cannon fodder and then turned around and enslaved, infected and massacred most of those tribes once the Aztec empire collapsed. They used similar tactics(as well as hostage taking, massacring a peaceful and unarmed delegation and slavery) against the Incan Empire. The French, Dutch, Portuguese and English Empires all rivalled Spain and in point of fact regularly competed with Spain abroad and at home, you might want to actually study history before you make statements that display your ignorance of this subject as France conquered Spain for a time(which led to the loss of much control over Spain's colonies), England regularly defeated Spain in war, the Portuguese stole advantage through trade routes they refused to share with Spain, the Dutch did the same. Seriously, I'm not even saying this to disparage you, but please educate yourself and do not spread inaccuracy and ignorance, there's entirely too much of that in the world as it is.

Still at the beginning of 1700, the Mixtecs continued to control a good part of their territory, really Spain's control over their entire territory of New Spain was quite minimal, for something it was not very difficult for the English to settle in Belize and Campeche This was detrimental to Mexico when it separated

In 1816 General Martín Francisco Javier Mina y Larrea traveled to Haiti by request of Simon Bolivar to garner support from this island nation. Haitian President Alexandre Petion graciously offered hundreds of Haitian soldiers, arms, supplies and ships to help Mexico fight Spain in Galveston. The support was granted on condition that Mexican officials free their enslaved population. An event of this magnitude should not be glossed over or edited from history. Haiti was by far the most significant backer of liberation across the entire South American continent. This is absolutely worthy of mention in all discussions regarding Mexican Independence.

Ah yes, this was the core of my education as a Historian during my college degree, wish I had put more attention to this particular period rather than Mexico 19th (late) and 20th Century.
