Mexico was a colony of Spain, dominated by 'peninsulares' or people born in Spain. Below them were the rest of the castes, including criollos or creole people (descendants of Spaniards, born in Mexico). Mexico was almost-self administered, but a strong resentment among criollos led to the independence movement during the early 19th century.
