Iturbide Falls in Mexico
1823
The short-lived First Mexican Empire collapsed when Agustin de Iturbide - who had declared himself Agustin I - abdicated under pressure from a republican revolt led by Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Mexico became a federal republic. Iturbide went into European exile, and his brief cameo on history's stage was nearly over.
