The Bear Flag Revolt in 1846 helped the United States gain control over California during the Mexican-American War, contributing to the broader U.S. victory and ultimate independence from Mexico. The revolt was led by American settlers in California who declared independence from Mexican rule and raised the Bear Flag. This uprising aligned with U.S. military efforts, facilitating the annexation of California as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.

How did Miguel Hidalgo help Mexico gain independence?

He began the independence movement in Mexico, to free itself from Spain. He is to Mexico what George Washington is to the US. The territories that possessed Mexico when it became independent in 1821 included the whole states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. If Mexico hadn't become independent by that time, most probably those states would have been still part of either Spain, France or England, but not of the United States.

When did Mexico gain its independence from Spain?

Mexico was not a colony of France. However, between 1861 and 1867, French forces invaded Mexico, with the goal of creating a puppet state thus allowing them to have a foothold in the Americas, and help the Confederacy during the American Civil War (1861-1865). However, this Second Mexican Empire didn't last long: after France got the upper hand against Mexico in 1863, Mexicans resorted to a guerilla war. When France saw the need to recall its troops due to an imminent conflict against Prussia, and Union forces won over the Confederacy, Mexicans were able to defeat the French on June 21, 1867.
