It came to be more through political means than through a war. Imagine that, political changes can happen without violence!!!! While there had been some uprisings and strikes against Spanish rule, they mostly only impacted the indigenous people. The real independence apparently came because the sons of the colonial Spaniards, the Espa�oles, born in Central America did not have the same legal rights as the people born in Spain. As a result, they opted to declare their independence from Spain. Spain did not pay much attention to their growing movement and basically let the small countries go on their merry way. At that time, Mexico annexed most of the Central American countries and a Civil War did ensue for fifteen years. Guatemala ultimately gained its sovereignty, though it did not gain all of its traditional territorial space in areas like Chiapas.

Why did the Mexicans fight against Spain for their independence?

Mexicans fought against Spain for their independence primarily due to a desire for political autonomy and social equality. The oppressive colonial rule, economic exploitation, and social injustices faced by indigenous and mestizo populations fueled widespread discontent. Inspired by Enlightenment ideals and successful revolutions in other countries, these groups sought to overthrow Spanish authority and establish a more equitable society. The struggle culminated in the Mexican War of Independence, which began in 1810 and ultimately led to Mexico's independence in 1821.
