Plan of Iguala
February 24, 1821
Agustin de Iturbide and the rebel Vicente Guerrero met, embraced, and issued a plan guaranteeing independence, Catholicism, and equality between Mexican-born Spaniards and criollos. Eleven years of war ended in compromise. By September, Mexico City was free. Iturbide would crown himself emperor within a year, and be shot within three.
