Mexico’s Independence Day History

Heman Cortes, a Spanish conquistador, defeated the Aztecs in Mexico and it became a Spanish colony in 1521. From then on, for almost 300 years Spain ruled over Mexico until the beginning years of the 1800’s. At that time, Mexicans decided to revolt against Spain to gain back their independence. In Dolores, México Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Roman Catholic priest, started ringing the church bell, which was for the call for the people to rise up against Spanish rule. This moment was the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence, which was a very important moment in history. Independence Day in Mexico is also known as Dia de la Independencia in Spanish. The celebration starts a bit before midnight on September 15th, and the official Independence Day holiday is on September 16th.

El Grito – Viva México

Father Miguel Hidalgo declared independence for Mexico with his well-known cry “El Grito” when he yelled out “Viva Mexico!” three times. Every year on September 15th a few minutes before midnight people all around Mexico will all come together to reenact Father Miguel Hidalgo’s famous cry to celebrate. Mexico is continuing the El Grito tradition and Independence Day celebrations include live music, dancing, fireworks, and more. The new government in Spain promised reforms for the revolutionaries in Mexico, but the Spanish viceroy officially accepted Mexico as an independent country in 1820.
