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.

Eric Hobsbawm, the Marxist British historian, wrote a book called The Short Twentieth Century. The 20th Century had been shorter than other centuries because it had begun in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War and terminated of course early in November 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. The problem however, and of course we historians we like problems, is that everybody knew what we had left behind with the fall of the wall, but nobody knew what we were heading towards. As Douglas Hurd, the British Foreign Secretary at the time, put it, “this was a system [the Cold War], this was a system under which we had lived quite happily for 40 years.” Or as Adam Michnik, again my Polish solidarity intellectual, put it “The worst thing about communism is what comes afterwards.” While our populations were in jubilation in front of the television screens or on the streets of Berlin, governments were, it has to be said, seriously worried about the implications of this unforeseen, uncontrolled and uncontrollable collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the communist system. Tom Wolf, the American author, at the time had a bestseller called the Bonfire of the Vanities and a British MP that I knew at the time famously rephrased that as the ‘bonfire of the certainties.’ All of the reference points with which we’d lived for half a century and which had organized our diplomacy, our military strategy, our ideology, were like as many props that were suddenly pulled from us.
The Dutch were not anymore keen to admit
their deterioration than any nation, because their scarcity and feebleness were
obviously trading the affluence of their earlier times. The Spanish Armada was
a Spanish taskforce of 130 ships that navigated from La Coruna, under the thorough
knowledge of the Duke of Medina Sidonia with the tenacity of escorting an army
from Flanders to conquer the England.
