Why did Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla want independence from Spain?
At the end of the 17th century, Spain became a declining empire with diminishing revenues and loss of both political and military influence -- especially against other rising powers such as Britain. The Bourbon Reforms (1747-1808) changed the colonial system in the Americas to that of an intendancy. These reforms were directed to increase tax revenues, but became very unpopular among the colonies as most intendants were peninsulares, or people born in Spain.
This power shift increased unrest among criollos, or people of Spanish ancestry who were born in the Americas, who ultimately attained the support of both Amerindians and mestizos (descendants of interracial marriages between Europeans and Native Americans) to wage war against Spanish rule. In Mexico and Central America, Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo (1753-1811) is considered the starter of such movement, while the South American war of independence was won by liberators Jose de San Martin (1778-1850) and Simon Bolivar (1783-1830).
When Napoleon's Army invaded both Spain and Portugal during the Peninsular Wars (1807-1814), most criollos saw the opportunity to secede from the Spanish Empire. By 1825 most of Latin America became independent, with only some last bastions in Mexico, Peru, Chile and Argentina still being loyal to the Spanish Crown. By 1833 even these were defeated, and all attempts of reconquest by Spain had been already thwarted. Finally, in 1836 the Spanish government renounced to the sovereignty over continental America, with the exception of Cuba an Puerto Rico, which were lost during the Spanish-American War (1898).

What is biggest lake in Spain?
It is very difficult to find a list of "lakes" in Spain. What they claim as the largest lake in Spain they describe as a "natural lacustrine system".
According to Dictionary.com lacustrine is "Relating to a system of inland wetlands and deep-water habitats associated with freshwater lakes and reservoirs, characterized by the absence of trees, shrubs, or emergent vegetation." I wouldn't call that a lake. It appears to be a collection of bodies of open water surrounded by wetlands and connected by some kind of stream, or maybe just connected by a wetland.
Anyway, the largest "Lake" (sistema lacustre) is called Lago de Sanabria y Alredadores. It is 22,365 hectares (83.6 square miles).
See related link. The first sentence under the section "Situacion geografica" states that Lake Sanabria consists of the natural lacustrine system with the largest dimensions that exists in Spain (constituye el sistema lacustre natural de mayores dimensiones existente en España).
Spain does have some nice sized impoundments behind dams.
I still have trouble calling it a lake. I live in Michigan, USA. We know what a lake is. We have the Great Lakes and several thousands more. But then we don't have girls as good looking as the Spanish girls either.
Win some, lose some.
