Dolores' cry

The Cry of Dolores was a statement against Spanish colonial domination, which began the path to Mexican Independence.

Hidalgo was accompanied by Juan Aldama and Ignacio Allende, two independentist Creoles who had taken part in the Querétaro conspiracy.

In the early morning of September 16, 1810, the “Cry of Independence” was recorded, attributed to the priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in the atrium of the church in the town of Dolores, located in the municipality of Guanajuato.

September 16, 1810

The reaction of the royalists, who organized to put an end to the independence movement started by Hidalgo, Aldama and Allende. The royalist army was made up of volunteers, local militias related to the monarchy and Spanish soldiers belonging to the old Bourbon army that had been disorganized since the Napoleonic invasion of Spain in 1808.

In September 1809, in Michoacán, specifically in Valladolid (today Morelia), the Valladolid Conspiracy emerged led by José Mariano Michelena, lieutenant of the Crown Line Infantry Regiment, together with Captain José María García Obeso and the Franciscan Friar Vicente de Santa María, among others. This group of conspirators, mostly well-off Creoles, met discreetly and isolatedly, pretending to have literary and musical gatherings to avoid being discovered. Its objective was to carry out actions aimed at political change in the region.

1809

In 1808 Napoleon took control of Spain, dethroned the reigning monarch and installed his brother, Joseph Bonaparte, as the new ruler. This combination of Spanish incompetence, coupled with a history of exploitation and oppression of the impoverished population, became the straw that broke the camel's back and prompted Mexicans to demand independence.

1808

The creation of the first independent government of Mexico. It was formed in Guadalajara, in November 1810. There, Hidalgo declared independence, later proceeding to enact several laws of a social nature. Among them, the elimination of slavery and an agrarian reform, in addition to freeing the indigenous people from the taxes that, until then, they had to pay to the authorities of the viceroyalty.
