A popular hero of this conflict was a lame silver miner who set a granary door on fire. During this conflict, the picaresque author of The Mangy Parrot wrote pamphlets for an army that names an 18-mile avenue. The Ottoman Empire donated a clock for this conflict’s centennial, whose angel-topped victory column inters a Black general of the Insurgentes (“in-soor-HEN-tays”) who embraced a former royalist at Acatempan (“ah-kah-TEM-pahn”). To celebrate this conflict’s resolution in the Treaty of Córdoba, nuns made chiles en nogada in the colors of the flag of the Three Guarantees. This conflict’s September 16th festivities begin with shouts of “viva” in the Zócalo (“SOH-kah-loh”) for heroes like La Corregidora (“ko-ray-hee-DOR-uh”), José María Morelos, and Vicente Guerrero (“gair-RAIR-oh”). This conflict’s Plan of Iguala (“ee-GWAH-luh”) outlined an empire led by Agustín de Iturbide (“ee-toor-BEE-day”). For 10 points, what conflict began with Father Hidalgo’s Cry of Dolores? ■END■
ANSWER: Mexican War of Independence [or War of Mexican Independence or equivalents; or Guerra de Independencia de México; accept Hidalgo Revolt or Agustín de Iturbide’s revolt until each is read; accept New Spain or Nueva España in place of “Mexican”; prompt on War of Independence or La Independencia by asking “of what country?”; reject “Mexican Revolution”] (Clues include El Pípila burning Guanajuato’s Alhóndiga de Granaditas and José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi.)
