After the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte tried to conquer the rest of Europe. During his Peninsular Wars (1808-1814), he tried to conquer Spain and Portugal, on the Iberian Peninsula.

Creole people, or descendants of Spaniards born in the Americas saw this as an opportunity to secede from Spain and after several revolts and a long, bloody independence war (1810-1821), Mexico successfully attained its independence on September 27, 1821.
