They wanted to be free from Spanish oppression
Well, because it independece had made them free and govern their own place.
Peninsulares were individuals born in Spain who held high-ranking positions in colonial Mexico, while criollos were people of Spanish descent born in the Americas. This social hierarchy created tensions, as criollos felt marginalized despite their wealth and education, leading to increasing resentment towards the peninsulares' dominance. The desire for greater political power and recognition among criollos contributed significantly to the Mexican War of Independence, as they sought to challenge the established colonial order and assert their rights. This class conflict played a crucial role in galvanizing support for the independence movement.

They competed for special administration positions in the Americas, which caused friction between the groups and made them see themselves as having separate identities. Usually, peninsulares were given these opportunities and criollos were effectively banned from government. This led to resentment among the criollos who eventually led the movements for independence from Spain because of this political exclusion.
When Napoleon seized the Spanish throne in 1808 and installed his brother Joseph Bonaparte as king, it created a power vacuum in Spanish America. This situation emboldened criollos—people of Spanish descent born in the Americas—to challenge Spanish authority and assert their rights. They began to push for independence and self-governance, leading to a wave of revolutionary movements across Latin America. The disruptions in Spain fueled the desire for autonomy among criollos, ultimately contributing to the independence movements throughout the region.
