A. 1979
B. 1981
C. 1980
D. 1982

Answer 1

Answer:

16 September 1810

Commonly confused with Cinco de Mayo in the U.S., this holiday celebrates the moment when Father Hidalgo called for Mexico's independence from Spain in September 1810. On September 16, Mexicans around the globe will celebrate the anniversary of the country's independence from Spain.

Answer 2

Answer:

In 1821, Mexico won its independence.

Explanation:

• The remaining Royalist forces opposed to freedom were routed by Iturbide, and the new Spanish viceroy was compelled to accept independence because he lacked funds, supplies, and men.
• O'Donoj signed the Treaty of Córdoba on August 24, 1821, eliminating New Spain's reliance on Old Spain.
• Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a progressive priest, is credited with being the father of Mexican independence on September 16, 1810, when he issued a momentous declaration calling on his countrymen to fight back against the Spanish Empire.  
• Mexicans all throughout the world will commemorate the anniversary of their nation's independence from Spain on September 16.

Mexico barely had a brief period of transition under the first Mexican Empire before becoming an independent republic.
