But in Mexico, ethnic and racial groups mixed freely. There, Indians and Mestizos played the leading role. Miguel Hidalgo, a priest in the small village of Dolores in Mexico, was a poor but well-educated man. He took the first step towards independence. On September 16, 1810, he rang the bells of his village church and called for a rebellion against the Spanish known as ‘Grito de Dolores’ (translated ‘the cry of Dolores’ in English)  Mexico Ends Spanish Rules The very next day, Hidalgo’s Indian and mestizo followers began a march toward Mexico City reaching 80,000 men as they increased in numbers. The uprising of the lower classes alarmed the Spanish army and creoles, who feared the loss of their property, control of the land, and their lives. The Spanish army defeated Hidalgo and his uprising in 1811.  Mexico’s Independence Rebels did not give up and found a new leader, José Maria Morelos. Morelos fought the Spanish for 4 years However, Morelos was defeated by a creole officer, Agustin de Iturbide Mexico’s creoles then feared the loss of their privileges in the Spanish-controlled colony, because in 1820 a revolution in Agustin de Iturbide Spain put a liberal group in power removing the old system. Ironically, they united in support of Mexico’s independence from Spain and Agustin de Iturbide proclaimed independence in 1821 from Spain. Brazil’s Royal Liberator In 1807, Napoleon’s armies invaded both Spain and Portugal. Napoleon’s aim was to close the ports of these countries to British shipping. As French troops approached Lisbon (Portuguese capital), King John VI and King John VI the royal family boarded ships to escape capture, and took their court and royal treasury to Portugal’s largest colony, Brazil. Prince Dom Pedro  Session 2 Brazil’s Royal Liberator For 14 years, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil became the capital of the Portuguese empire. After Napoleon’s defeat in 1815, King John and the Portuguese government King John VI returned to Portugal six years later. Dom Pedro, King John’s son, stayed behind in Brazil. Prince Dom Pedro  Brazil’s Royal Liberator Session 2 King John planned to make Brazil a colony again; however, many Brazilians protested. In 1822, creoles demanded Brazil’s independence from Portugal. 8,000 Brazilians signed a petition asking Dom Pedro to rule Brazil as an independent country and he agreed. On September 7, 1822, he officially declared Brazil’s independence. Brazil had won its independence in a bloodless revolution. Engagement activity: WHO AM I???  Who Am I?
