The Beginning of Mexican Independence
When Napoleon came to power in Europe, Spain still controlled most of it’s colonies in the western hemisphere. Joseph Bonaparte (Napoleon’s older brother) ruled Spain from 1808 to 1813, after Napoleon deposed King Ferdinand VII of the Bourbon dynasty. During that time, the New World colonies were functionally independent, as they were cut off from Spain. In this video we discuss the state of affairs Latin America in the time of Napoleon, and the beginning of the Mexican independence movement.
