<h2> HISTORY TIME!!!!!!!</h2><h2 />
<em>In 1820, liberals took power in Spain, and the new government promised reforms to appease the Mexican revolutionaries. In response, Mexican conservatives called for independence as a means of maintaining their privileged position in Mexican society</em>
Why did Mexico want independence? Mexico wanted independence from Spain because
<em>By the 19th century many Mexicans wanted to separate from Spain and create a sovereign government that would act on behalf of their own interests much like the movement for American independence from British rule in the late 18th century.</em>
