Mexico gained independence from Spain after a prolonged struggle that began in 1810. The movement was sparked by Miguel Hidalgo's "Grito de Dolores," which called for an end to Spanish rule. Over the next decade, various leaders, including José María Morelos and Vicente Guerrero, rallied support for the cause. The conflict involved a series of battles and shifting alliances, ultimately weakening Spanish control. By 1821, with the signing of the Plan of Iguala and the establishment of a new government, Mexico achieved independence, marking the end of a long fight for sovereignty.

Colombia gained independence from Spanish rule through a series of revolutionary movements that began in the early 19th century. Key figures like Simón Bolívar and Francisco de Miranda led efforts to unite various regions against Spanish authority. The decisive Battle of Boyacá in August 1819 marked a turning point, resulting in a significant victory for the independence forces. This victory paved the way for the establishment of the Gran Colombia, a republic that included present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. By December 1819, Colombia officially declared its independence, culminating years of struggle for freedom.

Italy gained independence through a series of wars and political maneuvers in the 19th century, known as the Risorgimento. Key figures such as Giuseppe Garibaldi, Count Camillo di Cavour, and Giuseppe Mazzini played crucial roles in unifying the various Italian states. The movement gained momentum after the Second Italian War of Independence in 1859, which resulted in the annexation of Lombardy. Garibaldi's expedition in 1860 led to the unification of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies with the northern states. By 1861, the Kingdom of Italy was officially proclaimed, marking the culmination of a long struggle for national unity.

Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, born in 1753, is celebrated as the "Father of Mexican Independence." An educated priest, he initially served as rector at the Colegio de San Nicolás but faced exile due to his controversial views. In 1803, he became a priest in Dolores, where he engaged in various agricultural and entrepreneurial activities. Hidalgo's quest for independence began on September 16, 1810, when he issued a call to arms against Spanish rule, igniting the Mexican War of Independence. Despite his eventual execution in 1811, his legacy and ideals continued to inspire the movement for Mexico's freedom.

The Battle of Boyacá, fought on August 7, 1819, marked a crucial victory for South American insurgents led by Simón Bolívar and Francisco de Paula Santander against Spanish forces, effectively liberating New Granada (modern-day Colombia) from Spanish rule. The rebel army, having previously secured victories in preliminary engagements, executed a strategic assault near the Boyacá River, capturing 1,800 Spanish troops and their commander. Following this decisive encounter, Bolívar entered Bogotá on August 10 and was celebrated as the liberator of the region. He established a provisional government, appointing Santander as vice president, and later proposed the formation of the Republic of Gran Colombia. This victory was a pivotal moment in the broader Latin American independence movement.

In 1861, the Kingdom of Italy was established, but Giuseppe Garibaldi found himself at odds with the government, particularly with Cavour, and criticized its treatment of soldiers and provincial administration. Despite his political struggles, Garibaldi remained a celebrated figure, receiving offers for military leadership from abroad, including from President Lincoln, which he declined. He undertook several military campaigns, notably against Austria and the Papal States, showcasing his military prowess even after sustaining injuries that left him lame. In his later years, Garibaldi identified as a socialist and championed causes such as labor rights, women's emancipation, and racial equality, while also becoming a pacifist. His legacy as a master of guerrilla warfare and a man of the people significantly contributed to the unification of Italy and ignited a sense of national identity among its citizens.
