Answer 1

Answer:

The Mexican War of Independence

Explanation:

As described, the initial phase of the Mexican War of Independence began with the Dolores Uprising, that would evolve to a full-scale rebellion that reached the outskirts of Mexico City but was defeated in the Battle of Calderon Bridge. After the fall of Father Miguel Hidalgo, the struggle was continued by Father Jose María Morelos, that would summon a Congress in Chilpancingo that declared independence, but the movement was crushed when Morelos was captured and executed. Independence would finally be achieved when Agustin de Iturbide, a member of the creole elite of Mexico City and an officer of the colonial army, negotiated the Three Guarantees Treaty (or Iguala Accord) with Vicente Guerrero, and was then proclaimed Emperor of Mexico.
