Question

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 (-5[1])at Acatempan (-5[1])(“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 (10[2])September 16th festivities begin with shouts (10[1])of “viva” (10[1])in the Zócalo (10[1]-5[1])(“SOH-kah-loh”) for heroes like La (10[1])Corregidora (10[2])(“ko-ray-hee-DOR-uh”), José María Morelos, (10[1])and Vicente Guerrero (10[2])(“gair-RAIR-oh”). This conflict’s Plan of Iguala (-5[2])(“ee-GWAH-luh”) outlined an empire led by Agustín de (10[1])Iturbide (10[1]-5[1])(“ee-toor-BEE-day”). For 10 (10[1])points, what conflict (-5[1])began with Father Hidalgo’s Cry (-5[1])of (10[1])Dolores? (10[2])■END■ (10[5]0[1])

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.)
