To know the facts, Mexico gained independence from the Spanish rule in 1830. The country came under colonization in 1521 when the people of the Aztec Empire, the former name of Mexico, were defeated and conquered by Spaniards. The Spaniards ruled the country for almost 3 centuries. The Mexican War of Independence was triggered by the invasion of Spain by Napoleon I. Napolean's invasion mainly led to the opposition of wealthy landowners, political leaders and conservatives in Mexico to the social, economic and political policies implemented by Napoleon I. This resulted in an alliance between Mexican liberals and conservatives. The aim of the alliance was for the independence of Mexicans from the Spaniards and the leadership of Napoleon I.
