Text of the page (random words):
campaign for mexican independence from illegitimate bonapartist spanish rule launched in hidalgo s home city of dolores guanajuato in 1810 hidalgo s campaign gained support among many amerindians and mestizos but despite seizing a number of cities his forces failed to capture mexico city in the summer of 1811 hidalgo was captured by the spanish and executed despite being led by a criollo many criollos did not initially join the mexican independence movement and it was reported that fewer than one hundred criollos fought with hidalgo despite their shared caste status while many criollos in the period resented their second class status compared to peninsulares they were afraid that the overthrow of the spanish might mean sharing power with amerindians and mestizos whom they considered to be their inferiors additionally due to their privileged social class position many criollos had prospered under spanish rule and did not want to threaten their livelihoods 29 criollos only undertook direct action in the mexican independence movement when new spanish colonial rulers threatened their property rights and church power an act which was deplored by most criollos and therefore brought many of them into the mexican independence movement 29 mexico gained its independence from spain in 1821 under the coalitionary leadership of conservatives former royalists and criollos who detested emperor ferdinand vii s adoption of a liberal constitution that threatened their power this coalition created the plan de iguala which concentrated power in the hands of the criollo elite as well as the church under the authority of criollo agustín de iturbide who became emperor agustín i of the mexican empire 31 iturbide was the son of a wealthy spanish landowner and a mexican criolla mother who ascended through the ranks of the spanish colonial army to become a colonel iturbide reportedly fought against all the major mexican independence leaders since 1810 including hidalgo josé maría morelos y pavón and vicente guerrero and according to some historians his reasons for supporting independence had more to do with personal ambition than radical notions of equality and freedom 29 post independence edit mexican independence from spain in 1821 resulted in the beginning of criollo rule in mexico as they became firmly in control of the newly independent state although direct spanish rule was now gone by and large mexicans of primarily european descent governed the nation 32 the period was also marked by the expulsion of the peninsulares from mexico of which a substantial source of criollo pro expulsionist sentiment was mercantile rivalry between mexicans and spaniards during a period of severe economic decline internal political turmoil and substantial loss of territory 33 leadership changed hands 48 times between 1825 and 1855 alone and the period witnessed both the mexican american war and the loss of mexico s northern territories to the united states in the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo and the gadsden purchase some credit the criollos inexperience in government and leadership as a cause for this turmoil it was only under the rule of non criollos such as the indian benito juárez and the castizo porfiro díaz that mexico experienced relative periods of calm 29 by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the criollo identity began to disappear with the institution of mestizaje and indigenismo policies by the national government which stressed a uniform homogenization of the mexican population under the mestizo identity as a result although some mexicans are closer to the ethnicity of criollos than others in contemporary mexico the distinction is rarely made during the chicano movement when leaders promoted the ideology of the ancient homeland of aztlán as a symbol of unity for mexican americans leaders of the 1960s chicano movement argued that virtually all modern mexicans are mestizos 29 in central america edit colonial era edit josé cecilio del valle born into a criollo family from what is now southern honduras in the city of choluteca he was a key figure of central american independence and was a representative of central america in mexico city in 1822 the first great wave of spanish settlers to central american lands occurred after the conquest of tenochtitlan when they began to reach the soil of what is today guatemala and the coasts of honduras creoles in metropolitan america would quickly begin to take advantage of local mining agricultural and livestock production the latter was very good in regions such as honduras and nicaragua the towns where they settled enjoyed the construction of large colonial buildings that are heritage of many central american nations today 34 35 for the following centuries of spanish domination many criollos in central america owned large areas of land and agricultural businesses there are several records of spanish families in central america with enormous fortunes who managed to obtain noble titles from the crown cities like santiago de los caballeros and comayagua were political centers where many of them had properties and some of their economic activities were concentrated 35 unlike other peoples of the spanish caste system of central america they had greater access to higher education many of them could receive a formal education both in local schools and in universities in the colonial metropolis spain or in other parts of america this allowed them to have knowledge in law administration and philosophy in the catholic church many criollos functioned as general officials of the church in america such as bishops although many central americans who were part of the elite or were respected landowners used to be criollos there were also those who were poor since they were children of those spaniards who migrated as laborers for construction of churches and palaces in the captaincy general of guatemala it is also known that not all descendants of spaniards in central america had access to land education or wealth in some cases criollo families who were unable to prosper in the colonial economy or who lost their property due to debt or conflict found themselves in situations of poverty conversely a spanish immigrant and his descendants had certain advantages in climbing the social ladder since their purity of blood meant that they had greater opportunities to prosper compared to many mestizos indigenous people and people of african descent 36 independence movement edit signing of the declaration of independence of central america in 1821 although they enjoyed a privileged economic situation they faced limitations in accessing the high administrative positions that the spanish empire reserved for the peninsular spaniards this along with the independence of the united states and the french revolution that had already occurred is what motivated the independence movement among the criollo elite in the captaincy general of guatemala this would be consolidated by 1821 although later the conservative elites would vote for central america to form part of the new mexican empire this union would be ephemeral however and by 1823 central america was an independent republic at first it would be a conservative federal republic although the liberal faction would come to take power under the command of general francisco morazan who was a supporter of the liberal institution that challenged several aspects of the central american status quo which in the following years led to a civil war the federal republic of central america would eventually fall in 1841 due to internal disputes like these post independence edit criollos leaving the royal palace after the independence of the province of guatemala in the middle of the 19th century the term criollos would begin to disappear this thanks to the fact that after the fall of the federation these republics would little by little begin to stop cataloging people by their origin or racial mix thus the term criollo would become only white although the term white in central american countries can be broad since it includes populations that in other contexts are not classified as such nonetheless there is an ethnic minority descended from the spanish in these countries today in the united states edit a spanish creole family portrait in new
