tras la independencia de España, no es que se dieran infulas de ser los herederos del imperio español, es que de hecho lo eran
no hombre no la independencia mejicana no se concedio por las buenas sino q hubo una guerra que perdimos . esos territorios se los apropiaron los mejicanos porque les dio la gana a ellos . igual de derecho tendrian los colombianos entonces que tambien serian herederos del imperio español.
igual podian decir los mejicanos q la peninsula o las filipinas eran tambien suyas por q nos habian ganado la guerra .
y ademas historicamente tampoco tenian derecho a esas tierras porq los indios mejicanos eran aztecas y esas tierras estaban pobladas por indios americanos .
Taking advantage of the fact that Spain was severely handicapped under the occupation of Napoleon's army, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest of Spanish descent and progressive ideas, declared Mexico's independence from Spain in the small town of Dolores on September 16, 1810. This act started the long war that eventually led to the official recognition of independence from Spain in 1821 and the creation of the First Mexican Empire. As with many early leaders in the movement for Mexican independence, Hidalgo was captured by opposing forces and executed.
es decir los traidores a la patria como siempre los progres aprovecharon la invasion de francia para armar una guerra de independencia que tenian ganada.
respecto a los territorios del norte parece ser que ni siquiera se los concedieron en la rendicion sino q se los cogieron ellos.
After independence
After independence, many Spanish possessions in Central America which also proclaimed their independence were incorporated into Mexico from 1822 to 1823, with the exception of Chiapas and several other Central American states.
The mostly vacant northern claims of the Spanish were claimed by Mexico and almost totally ignored, since little wealth could be extracted from them and the fledgling governments had neither money nor inclination to develop them.
Soon after achieving its independence from Spain, the Mexican government, in an effort to populate some of its sparsely-settled northern land claims, awarded extensive land grants in a remote area of the northernmost state of Coahuila y Tejas to thousands of immigrant families from the United States, on the condition that the settlers convert to Catholicism and assume Mexican citizenship. It also forbade the importation of slaves, a condition that, like the others, was largely ignored.
