The combined forces under Iturbide brought about Mexican independence in September 1821.

For more than a century, historians believed that Iturbide had first attempted to carry out his duty in destroying Guerrero but that he met with failure and so decided to strike an alliance with the rebel. However, in 2006, new evidence was discovered by Mexican historian Jaime del Arenal Fenochio: a letter between the two military leaders dated 20 November 1820, which also referenced a previous letter. Since communications had been proven to have existed between the two leaders before Iturbide ever set out to seek out Guerrero, it is now believed that both were then carrying out negotiations. Regardless, some encounters between the two military forces were unavoidable, as the troops of Guerrero and Pedro Ascencio (another insurgent leader) managed to force Iturbide's rear guard to withdraw from an ambush. In their further correspondence, Iturbide and Guerrero lament the clashes, and Iturbide further attempts to convince Guerrero of his intentions of liberating Mexico. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Switching_sides">Switching sides</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Switching sides">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Criollo_rebellion">Criollo rebellion</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Criollo rebellion">edit</a>]</div> From 1810 to 1820, Iturbide had fought against those who sought to overturn the Spanish monarchy and <a href="/wiki/House_of_Bourbon" title="House of Bourbon">Bourbon dynasty</a>'s right to rule New Spain and replace that regime with an independent government.

He decided to become the leader of the Criollo independence movement. However, to succeed, he would need to put together a very-unlikely coalition of Mexican liberal insurgents, landed nobility, and the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Church</a>. Therefore, he penned The Plan of Iguala, which held itself up on Three Guarantees: Freedom (from Spain), Religion (with Catholicism being the only accepted religion in the new country) and Union (with all inhabitants of México to be regarded as equals). In that manner, he was paving the road to gaining the support of the most powerful factions: the insurgents, the clergy and the Spaniards. The plan envisioned a monarchy, thus assuring the support of the royalists as well. Iturbide held a series of negotiations with Guerrero and made a number of demonstrations of his intentions to form an independent Mexico.<a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a> Iturbide offered Guerrero a full pardon if he surrendered.

Essentially, the idea was to bring Ferdinand VII to Mexico City to rule. If he did not come to Mexico, another member of the Bourbon royal family would be chosen to rule there.<a href="#cite_note-manfut-23">[23]</a> If no European ruler would come to rule México, the nation would have the right to elect a ruler by its own people. To attract the disparate parties involved in the scheme, the plan offered three guarantees: Mexico would be independent from Madrid, Roman Catholicism would be the official religion, and all inhabitants of the new nation, later México, would be considered equals, with no distinction being made between Spaniards, Creoles, Mestizos, etc., thus eliminating the complicated caste system that had been used until then and abolishing the use of slaves in the territory of the new nation as well. The promise of independence convinced the insurgents to accept the proposal. The promise of the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Church was offered to the clergy, who were frightened by anticlerical policies of Spanish Liberalism.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett-14">[14]</a> The offer of equality between Criollos and the Spanish-born <a href="/wiki/Peninsulares" title="Peninsulares">Peninsulares</a> assured the latter that they and their property would be safe in the new state. That was important because the Peninsulares owned a significant part of the valuable real estate and many of the businesses in Mexico.

Therefore, Iturbide succeeded in bringing together old insurgents and royalist forces to fight against the new Spanish government and what was left of the viceregal government. Military leaders, soldiers, families, villages, and towns that had been fighting against one another for almost ten years found themselves joining forces to gain Mexican independence. However, their reasons for joining together were very different, and those differences would later foment the turmoil that occurred after independence.<a href="#cite_note-Fowler-25">[25]</a> Both the sitting viceroy and Fernando VII rejected the Plan of Iguala.<a href="#cite_note-casaimperial-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-mexdes-9">[9]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Cortes_Generales" title="Cortes Generales">Spanish parliament</a> sent a new "viceroy," <a href="/wiki/Juan_O%27Donoj%C3%BA" title="Juan O'Donojú">Juan O'Donojú</a>, to Mexico.

had regained the upper hand against the liberals in Spain and increased his influence outside the country. He even had credible plans for the reconquest of the old colony. For those reasons, no European noble would accept the offer of a Mexican crown. In Mexico itself, there was no <a href="/wiki/Mexican_nobility" title="Mexican nobility">Mexican noble family</a> that the populace would accept as imperiality.<a href="#cite_note-Fowler-25">[25]</a> In the meantime, the governing junta that Iturbide headed convened a constituent congress to set up the new government. The new government had indirect representation, based on the Cadiz model, but the Plan of Iguala and the Treaty of Córdoba were clear that the order of things would be kept as it had been before the Cadiz Constitution. Thus, Iturbide and the junta declared that they would not be bound by the Cadiz Constitution but kept the Congress that was convened.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett-14">[14]</a> That led to division, which came to a head in February 1822. In its inauguration, Congress swore that it would never abide for all of the powers of the state to fall into the hands of a single person or entity. It, however, proceeded to assign sovereignty to itself, rather than to the people, and proclaimed that it held all three powers of the State. It also considered lowering military pay and decreasing the size of the army. Those moves threatened to reduce Iturbide's influence in current and future governments.<a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hamnett-14">[14]</a> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Agustin_de_Iturbide.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Agustin_de_Iturbide.jpg/250px-Agustin_de_Iturbide.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="373" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Agustin_de_Iturbide.jpg/375px-Agustin_de_Iturbide.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Agustin_de_Iturbide.jpg/500px-Agustin_de_Iturbide.jpg 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="894" /></a><figcaption>Half-length portrait as Emperor of Mexico</figcaption></figure> That led to political destabilization, which was resolved temporarily when Iturbide was elected Emperor of the Mexican nation.<a href="#cite_note-Hamnett-14">[14]</a> However, it is not clear whether he took the crown at the insistence of the people or simply took advantage of the political situation. Some call Iturbide's decision a coup<a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-manfut-23">[23]</a> and state that the public support for him was orchestrated by him and his followers.<a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-casaimperial-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hamnett-14">[14]</a> Others insist that the people's offer of the throne was sincere, as there was no other candidate and the people were grateful to him for the liberation of Mexico. The latter accounts stress that Iturbide initially rejected the offer, in favor of persuading Ferdinand VII to change his mind about ruling Mexico, but then reluctantly accepted.<a href="#cite_note-casaimperial-8">[8]</a> When the liberating army entered Mexico on 27 September 1821, the army sought to proclaim Iturbide as Emperor, which he himself stopped. A month later, on 28 October, he was publicly proclaimed Emperor by the people but again refused any such attempt. <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:JRP-SoW,_S.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/JRP-SoW%2C_S.jpg/220px-JRP-SoW%2C_S.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="240" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/JRP-SoW%2C_S.jpg/330px-JRP-SoW%2C_S.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/JRP-SoW%2C_S.jpg/440px-JRP-SoW%2C_S.jpg 2x" data-file-width="484" data-file-height="529" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Joel_Roberts_Poinsett" title="Joel Roberts Poinsett">Joel Roberts Poinsett</a>, U.S. Special Envoy to Mexico</figcaption></figure> The US government appointed <a href="/wiki/Joel_Roberts_Poinsett" title="Joel Roberts Poinsett">Joel Roberts Poinsett</a> as a special envoy to independent Mexico when Iturbide was declared emperor since <a href="/wiki/James_Monroe" title="James Monroe">James Monroe</a> was concerned about how popular and long-lasting the regime might be. Poinsett indicated the empire was not likely to be enduring, but the US still recognized Mexico as an independent country. Poinsett's Notes on Mexico are an important source as a foreign view of Iturbide's regime.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> Poinsett also took advantage of the opportunity to proposition Iturbide's government on the issue of the US wish of acquiring Mexico's northern territories but was soundly refused. Famed Mexican author <a href="/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Joaqu%C3%ADn_Fern%C3%A1ndez_de_Lizardi" title="José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi">José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi</a>, El Pensador ("the Mexican Thinker"), the author of El Periquillo Sarniento, wrote about the subject at the time: "If your excellency be not the Emperor, then our Independence be damned. We do not wish to be free if your excellency will not be at the lead of his countrymen."<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> Timothy E. Anna points out that in the months between the achievement of Independence and his crowning as Emperor, Iturbide already practically ruled the nation, as he was president of the Regency, and the junta had granted him command over all land and sea forces. He was appointed protector of commerce, navigation, local order and ports and was given the right to expedite passports and navigation licenses even after the Emperor had been instated (and according to the Emperor's wishes). Iturbide had what he could have possibly wanted before becoming Emperor, Anna notes, and so it is not probable that Iturbide conspired to appoint himself Emperor. Iturbide himself notes in his memoirs written in exile: "I had the condescension–or, call it weakness—of allowing myself to be seated in a throne I had created for others." Historians point out that Iturbide had quite possibly all the power, influence, and support he needed before redacting the Plan of Iguala, to crown himself Emperor, and he still wrote the Plan with the clear intention of creating a throne meant for a European noble. <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Juramento_de_Iturbide.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Juramento_de_Iturbide.jpg/250px-Juramento_de_Iturbide.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="151" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Juramento_de_Iturbide.jpg/375px-Juramento_de_Iturbide.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Juramento_de_Iturbide.jpg/500px-Juramento_de_Iturbide.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1013" data-file-height="613" /></a><figcaption>Lithography of the Oath of Iturbide Constitutional Emperor of Mexico (1822).</figcaption></figure> Most historical accounts mention the crowd that gathered outside what is now the Palace of Iturbide in Mexico City shouting "Viva Iturbide!" and insist for him to take the throne of Mexico in May 1822.

From a balcony of the palace, Iturbide repeatedly denied his desire for the throne. One interesting twist to the story is reported by Mexico City daily <a href="/wiki/La_Jornada" title="La Jornada">La Jornada</a>, which states that Iturbide held the first popular referendum in Mexico. According to the article, Iturbide sent out a questionnaire to military and civilian leaders as to whether the people preferred a republic or a monarchy. The answer came back in favor of a monarchy.<a href="#cite_note-Aviles-30">[30]</a> Iturbide asked the demonstrators that night to give him the night to think it over, and to respect the wishes of the government. The Congress convened the next day to discuss the matter of Iturbide's election as Emperor. Iturbide's supporters filled the balconies overlooking the chamber. The Congress confirmed him and his title of Agustín I, Constitutional Emperor of Mexico, by a vast majority.<a href="#cite_note-Vazquez-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a> After Iturbide's abdication, members would state that it had elected Iturbide out of fear for their lives, as the common folk were present during the vote and loudly proclaimed Iturbide, and no member voted against his crowning as Emperor. However, three days after Iturbide had been elected Emperor, Congress held a private session in which only it was present. It ratified the decision, created titles for the royal family, and declared Iturbide's title to be lifelong and hereditary. Iturbide's coronation was held at the <a href="/wiki/Mexico_City_Cathedral" class="mw-redirect" title="Mexico City Cathedral">Mexico City Cathedral</a> on 21 July 1822, and his wife, Ana María, was crowned empress, in an elaborate ceremony.<a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a> It was attended by the bishops of <a href="/wiki/Puebla" title="Puebla">Puebla</a>, <a href="/wiki/Guadalajara" title="Guadalajara">Guadalajara</a>, <a href="/wiki/Durango" title="Durango">Durango</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Oaxaca" title="Oaxaca">Oaxaca</a>.<a href="#cite_note-mexdes-9">[9]</a> According to the author Pérez Memen, <a href="/wiki/Archbishop_of_Mexico" class="mw-redirect" title="Archbishop of Mexico">Archbishop of Mexico</a> <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Jos%C3%A9_de_Fonte_y_Hern%C3%A1ndez_Miravete" title="Pedro José de Fonte y Hernández Miravete">Pedro José de Fonte y Hernández Miravete</a> objected and did not attend. Iturbide was crowned by Rafael Mangino y Mendivil, the head of the Congress, in itself a statement by Congress: the state, not the church or any other power, would be sovereign. The Congress decreed the crown to be hereditary with the title of "Prince of the Union." As emperor, Iturbide had sovereignty over lands bordered by <a href="/wiki/Panama" title="Panama">Panama</a> in the south and the <a href="/wiki/Oregon_Country" title="Oregon Country">Oregon Country</a> in the north, including the current countries of <a href="/wiki/Central_America_under_Mexican_rule" title="Central America under Mexican rule">Central America</a> and the US states of <a href="/wiki/California" title="California">California</a>, <a href="/wiki/Texas" title="Texas">Texas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona">Arizona</a>, <a href="/wiki/Utah" title="Utah">Utah</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nevada" title="Nevada">Nevada</a>, <a href="/wiki/Colorado" title="Colorado">Colorado</a>, and <a href="/wiki/New_Mexico" title="New Mexico">New Mexico</a>. Central America only briefly was part of the Mexican Empire of Iturbide (from 1821 to 1823),<a href="#cite_note-Weir-31">[31]</a> because by 1823 the local patriots, both liberal and conservative, made a move for total and absolute independence from Mexico and Spain. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Downfall">Downfall</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Downfall">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Dissolution_of_Congress">Dissolution of Congress</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Dissolution of Congress">edit</a>]</div> The republicans were not happy with Iturbide as emperor. While the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic</a> clergy supported him,<a href="#cite_note-manfut-23">[23]</a> the coronation dashed republican hopes, and while the Plan of Iguala and the Treaty of Córdoba directed that in the event of it being impossible to install a European on the Mexican throne, a national sovereign could be chosen, some of the royalists who had supported Iturbide had hoped for a European ruler. Many of the landed classes supported Iturbide and those documents because they offered a sense of continuity with the past. Iturbide's election to the throne was against their wishes, and many of them withdrew their support for him and conspired against the new empire. The strongest opposition to Iturbide's reign came from the Congress, where a significant number of its members supported republican ideas.<a href="#cite_note-biografiasyvidas-21">[21]</a> Many of these members also belonged to Masonic lodges, which provided an easy forum for communication. Those ideas found a voice when <a href="/wiki/Manuel_Codorniu" title="Manuel Codorniu">Manuel Codorniu</a> founded the newspaper El Sol, essentially becoming the in-house publication for the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Rite" title="Scottish Rite">Scottish Rite</a> lodge in its struggle against Iturbide.<a href="#cite_note-Vazquez-2">[2]</a> Iturbide's government was notoriously harsh in turning down territorial negotiations with agents of the US government, as attested by Poinsett. The United States was itself a republic as well, meaning Iturbide's relations with the US were on shaky ground. The Congress, believing itself to be sovereign over the Emperor and the people and the recipient of the executive, legislative, and judicial powers, antagonized Iturbide. The Congress refused to draw up a new monarchical Mexican Constitution with a role for the Emperor. Furthermore, people loyal to the Emperor became aware of a conspiracy that involved several members of the Congress who planned to kidnap the Emperor and his family and overthrow the Empire.<a href="#cite_note-Anna_79–110-32">[32]</a> As a response to this claimed threat to his life and to combat the resistance, Iturbide dismissed the Congress on 31 October 1822 and two days later created a new junta, the <a href="/wiki/National_Institutional_Junta" title="National Institutional Junta">National Institutional Junta</a>, to legislate in its place, answering only to himself.<a href="#cite_note-biografiasyvidas-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-Fowler-25">[25]</a> The National Institutional Junta was directed to create much-needed legislation in economic matters, create a provisional set of laws for the Empire, and then issue a call for a new Constituent Congress. The formulation of the new Congress was changed in how many representatives each Mexican province was granted.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">how?</a>] The new Congress would also be in charge of issuing a new Mexican Constitution. Iturbide persecuted his enemies, arresting and jailing a score of former members of the Congress, but that did not bring peace.<a href="#cite_note-Vazquez-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-INEHRM-17">[17]</a> A number of prominent politicians and military leaders, many of whom had supported Agustín as emperor, turned against him for having "made a mockery of national representation" in the new Congress's composition.<a href="#cite_note-Fowler-25">[25]</a> Among those were prominent Insurgent leaders Vicente Guerrero, Nicolás Bravo and Guadalupe Victoria. Meanwhile, Mexico suffered as an independent country. Ferdinand's resurgence as a ruler in Spain and his clear intentions to reconquer Mexico meant that no European nation was willing to recognize Mexico's independence, and most broke off economic ties with the new state. Iturbide's economic policies were draining resources as well. To increase his popularity, he abolished a number of colonial-era taxes. However, he still insisted on a large and very well-paid army and lived extravagantly himself.<a href="#cite_note-Fowler-25">[25]</a> The elite turned against him when he imposed a 40% property tax.<a href="#cite_note-Anna_79–110-32">[32]</a> The situation did not last long. Soon, Iturbide was unable to pay his army, creating discontent in a significant portion of his power base. When criticism of the government grew strong, Iturbide censored the press, an act that backfired against him. Opposition groups began to band together against him.<a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a> Leaders such as <a href="/wiki/Valent%C3%ADn_G%C3%B3mez_Far%C3%ADas" title="Valentín Gómez Farías">Valentín Gómez Farías</a> and <a href="/wiki/Antonio_L%C3%B3pez_de_Santa_Anna" title="Antonio López de Santa Anna">Antonio López de Santa Anna</a> began to conspire against the imperial concept altogether and became convinced that a republican model was needed to combat despotism.<a href="#cite_note-Fowler-25">[25]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Veracruz_and_the_Plan_of_Casa_Mata">Veracruz and the Plan of Casa Mata</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Veracruz and the Plan of Casa Mata">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Casa_Mata_Plan_Revolution" title="Casa Mata Plan Revolution">Casa Mata Plan Revolution</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Santaanna1.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Santaanna1.JPG/220px-Santaanna1.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="284" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Santaanna1.JPG/330px-Santaanna1.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c2/Santaanna1.JPG 2x" data-file-width="388" data-file-height="500" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Antonio_L%C3%B3pez_de_Santa_Anna" title="Antonio López de Santa Anna">Antonio López de Santa Anna</a></figcaption></figure> Santa Anna publicly opposed Iturbide in December 1822<a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Plan_of_Veracruz_(1822)" title="Plan of Veracruz (1822)">Plan of Veracruz</a>, supported by the old Insurgent hero, Guadalupe Victoria. Santa Anna would later admit in his recollections that at the time, he did not know what a republic was. Iturbide had tried to stop Santa Anna by inviting him to Mexico City. Recognizing the danger of such an invitation, Santa Anna responded with his Plan de Veracruz, which called for the reinstatement of the old Constituent Congress, which would then have the right to decide the form of government of the new nation. Curiously, it did not specifically call for a republic or for the abdication of Iturbide. Santa Anna wrote to Iturbide, explaining his reasons and swearing to sacrifice his own life if it was necessary to ensure the safety of the Emperor. Iturbide's enemy-turned-ally, Vicente Guerrero, turned back to enemy when he and General Nicolás Bravo escaped México City and allied themselves with the rebels. In a proclamation that explained their reasons, they also called for the reinstatement of the disintegrated Congress, which would then decide the fate of the nation. Bravo and Guerrero wrote that they swore to abide by the Congress's decision, even if it decided to stay as a Constitutional Empire and it elected Iturbide again to lead them. Iturbide sent his most trusted man, his protégé of sorts, General Echávarri, to combat the rebels. Santa Anna considered escaping to the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> but was stopped by Victoria. Santa Anna retreated and fortified himself in the city of Veracruz with his superior artillery. Victoria was separated from Veracruz, fighting behind Imperial lines. Bravo and Guerrero were defeated, with Guerrero suffering such a grievous injury in battle that the nation believed him dead until he resurfaced months later. However, Echávarri and several other imperial officers turned on the empire; away from Mexico City, the loyalty of the imperial armies proved patchy. Santa Anna, joined by republicans Guerrero, and Bravo, and imperial generals Echávarri, Cortázar y Rábago, and Lobato, proclaimed the <a href="/wiki/Plan_of_Casa_Mata" title="Plan of Casa Mata">Plan of Casa Mata</a>, which called for the installation of a new Congress and declared the election of the emperor null and void. Casa Mata also called for giving provinces the right to govern themselves in the interim until the new Congress was formed, an attractive prospect for the provincial governments. They accepted the plan, with the exception of the province of Chiapas. Much of the area now known as Central America declared its opposition to Mexico City and Iturbide's rule.

Many military leaders who Iturbide appointed turned on him upon contacting Santa Anna's forces. Iturbide later admitted he had made a mistake by not leading his armies himself. Iturbide recognized that although his provisional junta was working to call a new Congress, most of the nation had already accepted the Plan of Casa Mata. Recognizing the wishes of the country, Iturbide personally reopened the same Congress that he had closed in March 1823 and presented his abdication to them. He later wrote that he was choosing abdication over bloody civil war. However, Congress refused to accept his abdication, arguing that acceptance of abdication would imply that the existence of the throne was legitimate. Instead, they nullified their own election of Iturbide as emperor and refused to acknowledge the Plan of Iguala or the Treaty of Córdoba.<a href="#cite_note-manfut-23">[23]</a> Executive leadership of the country was passed to the "triumvirate," made up of the generals <a href="/wiki/Guadalupe_Victoria" title="Guadalupe Victoria">Guadalupe Victoria</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nicol%C3%A1s_Bravo" title="Nicolás Bravo">Nicolás Bravo</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Celestino_Negrete" title="Pedro Celestino Negrete">Pedro Celestino Negrete</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Fowler-25">[25]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Exile">Exile</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Exile">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Agust%C3%ADn_Jeronimo_de_Iturbide_y_Huarte.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Agust%C3%ADn_Jeronimo_de_Iturbide_y_Huarte.jpg/250px-Agust%C3%ADn_Jeronimo_de_Iturbide_y_Huarte.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="349" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/Agust%C3%ADn_Jeronimo_de_Iturbide_y_Huarte.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="346" data-file-height="483" /></a><figcaption>Agustín Jerónimo de Iturbide (firstborn son of Emperor of Mexico), a veteran of the battle of Ayacucho in Colombia, worked at the Mexican legation in London, UK, and later volunteered with the Papal Army.</figcaption></figure> On his way to exile, Iturbide and his family were escorted by former insurgent leader Nicolás Bravo, who treated Iturbide harshly. Though the republican movement had triumphed, the people still held Iturbide in high regard and greatly admired him. On his way out of the city, his carriage was surrounded by the people, the horses dismissed and the people sought to drag the carriage themselves out of the city. That treatment was customary in the entrances or exits of great figures in or out of a city. The soldiers escorting Iturbide prevented that from happening and would henceforth lead the former emperor on hidden roads, as the government feared a popular rising in favor of Iturbide.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] On 11 May 1823, the ex-emperor boarded the British ship Rawlins en route to <a href="/wiki/Livorno" title="Livorno">Livorno</a>, Italy (then part of the <a href="/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Tuscany" title="Grand Duchy of Tuscany">Grand Duchy of Tuscany</a>),<a href="#cite_note-Hamue-5">[5]</a> accompanied by his wife, children, and some servants. There, he rented a small country house and began to write his memoirs, known under the name of <a href="/wiki/Declaration_to_the_world" title="Declaration to the world">Manifiesto de Liorna</a>. Iturbide and his family struggled financially during this time despite claims by historians and some members of the Congress that deposed him that Iturbide had indulged in illegal enrichment throughout his military career and rule. In exile, Iturbide was approached by a Catholic coalition of nations that sought to enlist his help in a campaign to reconquer México for Spain. Iturbide declined. Spain pressured Tuscany to expel Iturbide, and the Iturbide family moved to England.<a href="#cite_note-casaimperial-8">[8]</a> There, he published his autobiography, Statement of Some of the Principal Events in the Public Life of Agustín de Iturbide. When he was exiled, Iturbide was accorded a government pension, but it was never received by Iturbide. Congress also declared him a traitor and "outside of the law" to be killed if he ever returned to Mexico. Iturbide was unaware of the penalty. After his death, many an author decried the decree calling for Iturbide's death, as it was against all known precepts of the law at the time: it was unheard of that a law could be issued solely against a specific citizen, instead of issuing a general law that would be applied to particular cases. Reports of a probable further Spanish attempt to retake Mexico reached Iturbide in England.<a href="#cite_note-Raggett-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-Tuck-12">[12]</a> He wrote in his memoirs that he was very worried about the future of Mexico.

Felipe de la Garza had been the head of a short-lived revolt during Iturbide's reign. Iturbide chose to pardon the general and reinstate him in his old post. Perhaps it was because of this debt that de la Garza wavered in his resolve to detain Iturbide.

Historian <a href="/wiki/Eric_Van_Young" title="Eric Van Young">Eric Van Young</a> states that Iturbide's seizure of the crown "seems less cynical and idiosyncratic when it comes along at the end of the independence struggle."<a href="#cite_note-VanYoung-20">[20]</a> Van Young's assessment is that "he demonstrated moments of political brilliance clouded over in the long term by bad judgment and that in the end he was an opportunist."<a href="#cite_note-VanYoung-20">[20]</a> Iturbide is often described as a reactionary rather than a revolutionary [<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>], a view supported by his initial refusal to join Miguel Hidalgo’s independence movement until it aligned with his own interests. His role in the independence movement is frequently shared with that of Vicente Guerrero in educational materials, and his legacy remains controversial. No official acts or public events are typically held to commemorate his ascension or death [<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]. The rest of the 19th century in Mexico saw frequent shifts between political extremes, with various factions gaining power at different times. The old Mexican nobility remained influential, and members of the Iturbide family were involved in political intrigue against the Mexican government in Madrid, New York, Paris, and Rome into the 1890s <a href="#cite_note-Brunk-33">[33]</a> Liberal or republican ideas would continue to be embraced by people outside the Mexico City elite. These came out of <a href="/wiki/Bourbon_Reforms" title="Bourbon Reforms">Bourbon Reforms</a> in Europe that were based on the <a href="/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment" title="Age of Enlightenment">Enlightenment</a>. Attacks on the Catholic Church by liberals in Spain and elsewhere in Europe were conducted also in Mexico during the <a href="/wiki/La_Reforma" title="La Reforma">Liberal Reform</a> period in the mid-nineteenth century. Ideals of the Constitution of Cadiz would find expression in the <a href="/wiki/1824_Constitution_of_Mexico" title="1824 Constitution of Mexico">1824 Constitution of Mexico</a>. This constitution would influence political thought on both sides of the Mexican political spectrum, with even Iturbide bending to it when he created the first congress of an independent Mexico. After Iturbide, there was wide general consensus, even among the landed elite, that some form of representative government was needed. The question was how much power would be in legislative hands and how much in an executive.<a href="#cite_note-Fowler-25">[25]</a> Iturbide's empire was replaced with the First Mexican Republic. General <a href="/wiki/Guadalupe_Victoria" title="Guadalupe Victoria">Guadalupe Victoria</a> was elected the first president, but in subsequent years, General Vicente Guerrero became the first in a long line of Presidents to gain the Presidency through a military revolt after losing an election. Guerrero was betrayed and assassinated, and Santa Anna would rise to avenge him, beginning an era of Mexican history that Santa Anna dominated. This regime would oscillate and finally be overcome by the Plan of Ayutla. The new Government would struggle between anti-clerical, reformist views and conservative views during the Reform War. During the French Intervention the country would face Civil War amongst conservative, Catholic, Europe-adherent monarchists led by the ironically liberal <a href="/wiki/Maximilian_I_of_Mexico" title="Maximilian I of Mexico">Maximilian I of Mexico</a>, and liberal, masonic, anti-clerical, reformist and United States-adherent liberals led by the American-backed <a href="/wiki/Benito_Ju%C3%A1rez" title="Benito Juárez">Benito Juárez</a>. Having prevailed, Juárez died after 15 years of forcefully remaining as president. <a href="/wiki/Porfirio_D%C3%ADaz" title="Porfirio Díaz">Porfirio Díaz</a> in the late 19th century would install a one-man rule which imposed upon México its first true period of relative peace, in exchange for freedom, and Díaz remaining for the next 30 years in power.

Conservatives favored 27 September for celebration, when Iturbide entered Mexico City at the head of the conquering army, but Liberals preferred 16 September to celebrate Hidalgo's call for rebellion against Spain.<a href="#cite_note-Brunk-33">[33]</a> In modern Mexico, the liberal tendency has dominated, such that much writing about Iturbide is often hostile, seeing him as a fallen hero, who betrayed the nation by grasping for personal power after independence. Since the 1949 publication of a historical novel, La Güera Rodríguez<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> about Iturbide's aristocratic friend, Doña <a href="/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Ignacia_Rodr%C3%ADguez_de_Velasco" class="mw-redirect" title="María Ignacia Rodríguez de Velasco">María Ignacia Rodríguez de Velasco</a>, Iturbide was cast in the novel as her paramour, having an illicit affair with her. Although the portrayal of her was as a libertine, the notion was based on uncorroborated rumors and innuendo, with nothing ever proven, and then exaggerated in fiction. As her post-humous reputation as a "heroine of Mexican independence" has risen beginning in the late twentieth century, Iturbide's has continued to be something much less than that of Mexico's Liberator.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> A two-volume work on Mexican independence contrasts Hidalgo and Iturbide, with the subtitle "the glory and the oblivion".<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> Iturbide's strategy of defining a plan and using the military to back it began a tradition in Mexican politics that would dominate the country' history. He can be considered Mexico's first "<a href="/wiki/Caudillo" title="Caudillo">caudillo</a>," or charismatic military leader, using a combination of widespread popularity and threat of violence toward opposition to rule and would be followed by army generals Antonio López de Santa Anna and Porfirio Díaz, who came to dominate their respective eras.<a href="#cite_note-Kirkwood-3">[3]</a> During the 1910 centenary celebrations of independence, the remains of Iturbide were not placed at the <a href="/wiki/Angel_of_Independence" title="Angel of Independence">"El Ángel"</a> with other leaders of independence, but stayed in the National Cathedral. Following the <a href="/wiki/Mexican_Revolution" title="Mexican Revolution">Mexican Revolution</a> 1910–20, victorious revolutionary general and newly elected president of Mexico <a href="/wiki/%C3%81lvaro_Obreg%C3%B3n" title="Álvaro Obregón">Álvaro Obregón</a> mounted a massive centenary celebration for Mexican independence, even larger than the one that <a href="/wiki/Porfirio_D%C3%ADaz" title="Porfirio Díaz">Porfirio Díaz</a> had staged in 1910 to commemorate Hidalgo's revolt, considered the outbreak of the War of Independence. It was the first time since the mid-19th century that the date was commemorated.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> Given that Obregón himself was a military strong man, his 1921 commemoration of Mexican independence and Iturbide was an opportunity for him to assert his own state-building vision by appropriating a piece of Mexico's history. By overseeing the ceremonies, Obregón could shape and consolidate his own position in power, which was then relatively weak.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Mexican_Army" title="Mexican Army">Mexican Army</a> benefited from the celebrations with new uniforms and equipment, and there was even a re-enactment of Iturbide's triumphal entry into Mexico City.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> Mexico owes the country's name "Mexico" to Iturbide, as opposed to "United Mexican States." While the latter is considered the official name, the inhabitants of the country refer to it by the name of Mexico. Another legacy that Iturbide left to Mexico was its <a href="/wiki/Flag_of_Mexico" title="Flag of Mexico">modern flag</a>, still used today. The three colors of red, white, and green originally represented the three guarantees of the Plan of Iguala: Freedom, Religion, and Union. In the place of the Spanish emblem for Mexico, he resurrected the old <a href="/wiki/Tenochtitlan" title="Tenochtitlan">Tenochtitlan</a> symbol for Mexico City, an eagle perched on a <a href="/wiki/Nopal" title="Nopal">nopal</a> cactus holding a snake in its beak. With it, he hoped to link Mexican empire with the <a href="/wiki/Aztec_Empire" title="Aztec Empire">Aztec one</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Alvaro-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-Rosainz-7">[7]</a> Iturbide is noted in the <a href="/wiki/Himno_Nacional_Mexicano" title="Himno Nacional Mexicano">Himno Nacional Mexicano</a>, the national anthem for the country. One stanza translates as follows: "If to battle against the foreign host, the warrior trumpet invokes us, Mexicans, the Sacred flag of Iturbide bravely follow. Let the conquered banners serve as a carpet to the brave steeds, may the laurels of triumph bring shade to the brow of the brave Captain." <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Honours">Honours</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Honours">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li>Knight Grand Cross of the <a href="/wiki/Mexican_Imperial_Orders" title="Mexican Imperial Orders">National Order of Our Lady of Guadalupe</a><a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a></li></ul> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gallery">Gallery</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Agust%C3%ADn_de_Iturbide&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Gallery">edit</a>]</div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 285px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 280px;
