Miguel Gregorio Antonio Ignacio Hidalgo y Costilla Gallaga Mandarte Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla es, para la mayoría del pueblo mexicano, el “héroe” más significativo durante el proceso de independencia.

Lo que la mayoría de la gente no conoce es sobre el proceso militar y eclesiástico al que fue sujeto. Mismo proceso que nos disponemos a comentar.

Tampoco es una explicación sobre la lucha armada entre el ejército insurgente y el realista. Y menos es un artículo sobre las causas de la independencia de México. Simple y sencillamente, es un comentario sobre el proceso militar contra el Miguel Hidalgo. No más, no menos. A pesar de lo antes mencionado, es necesario poner en contexto el perfil de Miguel Hidalgo, su proceso militar, la independencia y los demás movimientos emergentes en América. Tiempo antes...

A devaluation of the peso in late 1994 threw Mexico into economic turmoil, triggering the worst recession in over half a century. The nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely Amerindian population in the impoverished southern states. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that the opposition defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) was sworn in on 1 December 2000 as the first chief executive elected in free and fair elections.Geography Situated in the southwestern part of mainland North America and roughly triangular in shape, Mexico stretches more than 3000 km from northwest to southeast.
