Abstract

GUZMAN PEREZ, MOISÉS. The Trigarante Movement and the End of the War in New Spain (1821). Anu. colomb. hist. soc. cult. [online]. 2014, vol.41, n.2, pp.131-161. ISSN 0120-2456.  https://doi.org/10.15446/achsc.v41n2.48784.

The armed struggle in New Spain ended on 27 September 1821, after ten long years of war. A good part of recent historiography holds that the negotiation implemented by Agustín de Iturbide with the different political forces (the clergy, the army, and the elites that controlled the mayor's offices and provincial councils) put an end to the war. The article aims to show that there were other local and provincial factors involved in the process, linked to international circumstances, that contributed to the termination of the conflict. It also provides an assessment of the central role played by the military in the negotiation, pacification, and consolidation of the Trigarante project, which would lead to the consolidation of Mexico's Independence.

Keywords : Trigarante Movement; New Spain; Independence; military; local and provincial factors; Agustín de Iturbide.
