I. The Priest and the Matador

Dolores, Mexico
16th September 1810

My children: a new dispensation comes to us today. Will you receive it? Will you free yourselves? Will you recover the lands stolen three hundred years ago from your forefathers by the hated Spaniards? We must act at once… Will not you defend your religion and your rights as true patriots? Long live our Lady of Guadalupe! Death to bad government! Death to the gachupines!
-Grito de Dolores, Miguel Hidalgo​

Miguel Hidalgo, a Mexican priest, outspoken and condemned by many other Catholic members throughout the Western World, the Father of the Nation of Mexico. For long Mexico had been under strict oppression by the various Spanish Monarchs, from the von Habsburgs, the Bourbons and now the Duke, a close relative of the Emperor of France and member of the Bonaparte family. While under the Revolutionary nation of France, the Spanish had remained a monarchistic duchy under the French vassalization.

The region which came to be known as Mexico, a cultural mixture of Spaniard colonials and Aztac, Mayan and various other native peoples, being the most of north of the Viceroyalties of New Spain had been seen as an outpost against the French, British and more recently American colonies. Since the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, the colonies which had grown massively in the quickly aging New World had been put last on the Spanish agenda tempting the previously reluctant colonies to declare independence from the Spanish Empire. Only months before, the region south of Mexico known as the Viceroyalty of New Granada (and later Colombia) declared independence under the leadership of the soon to be infamous Simon Bolivar.
Shortly before Miguel Hidalgo's declaration of Mexican independence, he had returned from a diplomatic venture into the United States of America, who at that time was under the presidency of James Madison, a recently elected Democratic-Republican. Miguel Hidalgo met with the President signing a proclamation of American-supported Mexican Independance which showed full support by the United States to guard the new nation from Spanish aggression.

With the declaration of independence on 16th of September 1810, Miguel Hidalgo and an army of over 800 revolutionaries stormed the viceroy's residence in Mexico City and occupied the city for himself to continue to Revolution. On September 17th after the Battle of Mexico City, Miguel sent the Ratification Article of United States Supported and Defended Recognition of Mexico to President James Madison who signed the treaty the following day. The United States ordered the Duchy of Spain to withdraw from all listed areas of Mexican Sovereignty.

The Duke Joseph Bonaparte who himself was struggling by the destructive civil war on the Spanish mainland was forced to agree by his brother, Emperor Napoleon I of France who feared a breakdown of his alliance and possible war, if Duke Joseph Bonaparte didn't comply. The French Emperor at that time was allied with the United States and had recently sold Louisiana and the other regions of New France to them and did not wish to see his alliance, that was winning numerous wars against the coalitions, fall apart.
