One result of the independence movements in Latin America during the 19th century was that the new Latin American countries remained divided by race and class and the descendants of Europeans kept the power.

The independence of Mexico from Spanish hands began on September 16, 1810, when the priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the bells of the town of Dolores, in Guanajuato state. It was a long war against the Spanish crown. It finally ended with the victory of Agustin de Iturbide's army over the Spanish army. On August 24, 1821, Mexico finally was independent but the problems did not end. Internal conflicts and class differences continued the turmoils.

This was the case of Mexico, but other independent countries in Latin America lived the same scenario. Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, remained divided by race and class and the descendants of Europeans kept the power. Those conflicts still affect those countries and their struggle to progress and develop.
