    Mexico's War of Independence
    Revolution

    In 1808 Napoleon invaded Span and Portugal. At first his campaign succeeded and he was able to place his brother on the Spanish throne. This 'French' king was not accepted in New Spain who immediately went into revolt. At first these revolts were localized and had their own ideals and goals. Some wanted full independence from Europe. Others simply wanted to place the old Spanish king back on the throne. By 1816 insurgents in Mexico were united in a cause of independence. This dream would be fulfilled in 1821 with the formation of the First Mexico Empire.

    Era of Unrest
    Revolution

    Between 1821 and 1835 Mexico was in a constant state of war and revolution. During these 14 years there were 8 rebellions and or coup d'etat. During this time Mexico had gone from a Empire to two different Republics then to a dictatorship under Santa Ana. Many were wondering if Mexico could even survive on it's own. As one British newspaper writer wrote: "If a country has had more revelations than the French in much less the time, can it even be considered a country?"

    Northern Colonies
    Population Migration / Travel

    After gaining independence the new Empire of Mexico quickly had problems with Native Americans. Comanche and Apache tribes in particular proved problematic. Now without assistance from Spain, they had to find their own solution. Emperor Iturbide's solution was to offer nearly free land to settlers from Mexico, United States, and Europe. He also made agreements with the old pirate colonies to bring them into the Empire of Mexico. This provided moderate stability to it's northern boarder for a time.

    Rebellion of the Three Suns
    Revolution

    Due to instability of Mexico, a group of citizens met in San Diego. They included Samurai, decedents of Aztec nobility and Asian Pirates, and Americans Sam Houston and Jim Bowie. During dinner and a poker game they disused joining forces in revolt against Santa Anna. As the discussion grew more serious, they discussed why Mexico was so unstable. This led to heated debate and later a conviction that Mexico was a bigger beast than they could tame. However they felt they had a greater chance of turning the Northern Colonies into a stable nation independent from Mexico. Two days later the party dispersed and preparations were made for the formation of the Empire of Three Suns.

    Battle of the Alamo
    Military action

    More surprising than the rebellion of the Three Suns was how quick Santa Anna was able to respond. Almost immediately he marched his army to deal with the rebels. Fearing the United States and or Europe would aid the rebels, Santa Anna made Texas his first priority. If he could take Texas, The States of California and Sonora would be completely cut off from the US and Europe.

    Battle of Sonora River
    Military action

    After almost a year of conflict, the war of independence came to a climax on the shores of the Sonora River. General Sanjo Nakaie had spent most of the war fighting in Sonora against troops loyal to Santa Anna. When Santa Anna was expelled from Texas he determined a new strategy was needed. Seeing that most of Sonora's local garrison were still loyal, he gathered what remained of his army and went to reinforce the beleaguered garrisons. Spies in his army were able to war the rebels. General Nakaie decided to take his entire force and move to meet Santa Anna. The battle would spell the end of the war.
