今天是墨西哥的独立日
为了纪念今天墨西哥的独立日假期,我们的主页图片来自瓜纳华托州,那里是该国独立斗争的第一个开始。这场冲突始于1810年9月16日的“多洛雷斯的呐喊”,当时牧师米格尔·伊达尔戈·科斯蒂拉(Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla)在附近的多洛雷斯镇敲响教堂的钟声,呼吁发动起义,将墨西哥从西班牙的控制下解放出来。他对武器的呼吁引发了一场叛乱,向圣米格尔进军,然后向瓜纳华托市(如图所示)。随后的冲突持续了十多年,墨西哥终于在1821年摆脱了西班牙的统治。

In honor of today's Independence Day holiday in Mexico, our homepage image comes from the state of Guanajuato—where the country's battle for independence first began. The conflict started with the 'Cry of Dolores,' an event on September 16, 1810, when priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the church bell in the nearby town of Dolores and called for a revolt to free Mexico from Spanish control. His call to arms triggered the formation of an insurgency that marched onward to San Miguel and then to the city of Guanajuato (shown in this image). The ensuing conflict spanned more than a decade, culminating with Mexico finally breaking free from Spanish rule in 1821.
