A general who defected to the rebel cause in this country formed the Army of Three Guarantees. That general, who secured this country’s independence through the Plan of Iguala (10[1])and became this country’s first emperor, was Agustín (10[1])de Iturbide (10[2]-5[3])(“ee-tur-BEE-day”). An attempt to regain control of this country (10[1])was repelled at the Battle of Tampico by forces led by a man who later (10[1])lost his leg in the Pastry (10[1])War. The Cry of Dolores (10[1])sparked this country’s (10[1])War of Independence. Following the fall of Tenochtitlan, the colony of New Spain was set up in this country, which was once led by Santa Anna.
