The causes and results of ten years of fighting in Mexico which resembled todays Syrian war is explained in a excellent book simply called "The Mexican Wars For Independence" by one Mr Timothy Henderson. Mr Henderson goes through the history of the Spanish Empire and how it eventually took a revolutionary period not much unlike the one with the thirteen colonies of Great Britain on the Eastern shoreline of North America.
Henderson covers a ten year period starting of course with the revolt of radical priest Miguel Hidalgo and the author covers much subject and material of the insurgency leadership qualities of this priest who commanded with no military background or experience. The major cause of this fight for independence was massive taxation for bankrupt royalist regime and the misappropriation of wealth in a land that practically had boundless resources of wealth. The deep divisions of class, race, culture, and ideology proved difficult and delayed the inevitable breaking of Mexico from a weakening Spanish empire whose own brutality and mineral extraction obsessions for profit came to a head. the war to a hold of the finances of the Spanish Empire as it proved to be more costly maintaining the land than extracting profit. this war proved to be similar to the post World war II colonial fight against European free market economic exploitation. The same inequalities the United States deals out to immigrants coming here illegally could boil over one day as it did for the royalist power in Mexico as it currently is boiling for the corrupt Assad regime in Syria. 
Brutal Spanish landowners treated the average Jose as a virtual peon and they were quick to join the ranks of the rebels and after many failed attempts for revolution eventually the tide turned and many creoles joined ranks with the Indian army in booting away Spanish overseas rule. Professor Henderson refer to the mestizos and Indians as Americans throughout this book and he ends the book with an elaborate discussion of Mexico's short lived empire which stretched from Southern Oregon all te way down to pam=nama and was at the time the seventeth largest empire in wolrd history. 
Augustin Iturbide had done a better job as emperor shortly after the first actual independence of Mexico both the flag and land mass of the country may have been different and intact instead of the poor migrant fluctuating history that this nation and people have had to endure from decades of constant inept and changing leadership. A modern day Mexico consisting the lands lost in both North and central America would be rivaling India and China right now as a growing economic engine and likely prevented America overseas base empire cold war initating United States 
and the potential still available for a Mexican nation as a powerhouse undoubtedly rushed I the NAFTA agreement in the nineties as the globalists wanted no part of rivalry and divisions in the Americas.
