Iturbide Executed

September 24, 1824

Agustin de Iturbide, the architect of Mexican independence who had briefly crowned himself emperor, returned from European exile unaware that the new republic's congress had declared him a traitor on sight. He was arrested on the Tamaulipas coast and shot within days. Latin American republics had a new template for dealing with former saviors.
