The uprising known for its role in the struggle for independence in Mexico is the Mexican War of Independence. This movement began in 1810, led by figures such as Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos. The war sought to free Mexico from Spanish colonial rule and lasted over a decade, culminating in Mexico's independence in 1821. The struggle was marked by calls for social justice, land reforms, and the end of class oppression, profoundly shaping Mexico's national identity and future.
