Mexico (at the time known as the New Spain) was the most successful colony of the Spanish Empire in the Americas. It was very significant because it included vast portions of the North American territory -- including present-day Mexico, most of Central America and the American Southwest -- and economically, it was a disaster for the Spanish Crown.

The impact of Mexican Independence could be compared with what would happen today if California seceded from the United States and became a country on its own.
