Agustín Iturbide was a Mexican military leader and politician who played a crucial role in Mexico's independence from Spanish rule. He initially fought for the Spanish crown but later shifted allegiances to support independence, culminating in the Plan of Iguala in 1821, which established the framework for Mexico's liberation. Iturbide subsequently became the country's first emperor, ruling briefly as Emperor Agustín I before being overthrown in 1823. His reign was marked by political instability and division, leading to his eventual exile and death in 1824.
