Agustín de Iturbide

1783 CE1824 CE · Mexico City

Agustín de Iturbide (1783–1824) was a Mexican military officer who played a central role in securing Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821, in part through the Plan of Iguala and his alliance with insurgent forces. In 1822 he was proclaimed Emperor Agustín I, founding the short-lived First Mexican Empire. Facing political opposition, he abdicated in 1823 and went into exile in Europe. He returned to Mexico in 1824, was arrested, and was executed shortly afterward.
