Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mexico's War of Independence (1810-1821) was primarily dominated by conservatives who sought independence from Spain in order to preserve the socioeconomic status quo. This is evidenced by the fact that many of Mexico's leading figures during the war, such as Agustín de Iturbide, were conservative creoles who sought to maintain their power and wealth in the new independent Mexico. While there were liberal elements in the independence movement, they did not dominate the conflict.
