Miguel Hidalgo led Mexico in a drive for independence that started in 1810, and ended in A constitution was made in 1824, and a republic was formed.

History (cont.) In 1833, Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana ruled as dictator, and Mexico lost much of its territory. Benito Juarez took power in 1855 after Santa Ana resigned. French troops invaded Mexico City in 1861, and Maximilian became the emperor of Mexico. In 1867, he was overthrown. Mexico then went through many years of political unrest. The PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) and the PAN ( National Action Party) became their two main parties.
