More Information

1:14 Which was another colonial role appointed by the monarch.

1:25 Intendencies became used only after the bourbon reforms and mostly took power from the captaincies general.

1:25 Captaincies general was the head of the audiencias but also the head of other governmental powers like local military for example.

In general at the start of the video I am talking about the colony after the Bourbon reforms.

2:46 Of course the people from Spain had usually higher status then the people from elsewhere in Europe but they both where on top of the casta system.

3:00 In the early colonial period the word Criollos was used for all people born in america whether white or native or African however it later became to be used for only European descendence born in America.

5:13 Highest portion of Slaves was in Cordoba at 20 %.

5:14 However even though slavery wasn't really used endangered servitude still was.

7:27 And even though the Bourbon reforms tried to diminish this power of the church it didn't really work.

7:50 OK the French didn't control the whole peninsula but it was just easier to draw it like this.

8:30 City councils where the cabildos mentioned prior in the graphic showing the administration divides of the colony.

10:00 There where insurgencies against Spain before Hidalgo but Hidalgo is counted by historian as the start of the independence movement.

10:39 The reasons Hidalgo may have done this.
1. The terrain of the city he was coming from was mountains and therefor easily defended by the Spanish.
2. Hidalgo feared the mass pillaging, looting and killing that would happen in the city ones his army took it.
3. Hidalgo knew his army drastically outnumbered the Spanish but he also new it was ilequipped, poorly armed and always suffered drastic casualties when fighting trained Spanish troops, and Mexico city had the most skilled Spanish troops in the colony guarding it. He may have thought he just wouldn't be able to win.

14:40 There where actually two main treaties declaring independence the Plan de Iguala (which is the original three guarantees plan) and the Treaty of Córdoba which expended on the Three Guarantees plan. These two are usually cited together as they deal with the same thing and are obviously just an extension of each other.

15:13 He technically didn't escape to Spain but was absolved of his duties by the Royalists who still thought they could fight Iturbide . The royalists however quickly followed him as it became very clear that the revolutionaries had won.

17:05 Ironically these republicans which wanted to enforce the abolishment of the casta system are thought to have been supported by the USA.

18:06 Technically they where allowed the right to determine their own destiny by the Mexican Republican Government (they chose independence) but a majority of Mexicans where against this, calling it an illegitimate declaration of independence.
