To start who was this? Emperor Agustin I was the first emperor of Mexico, he was also a Mexican politician and soldier.

He had achieved Mexican Independence from Spain. This was a big thing because he had set them " free" in a way. They were no longer under Spanish rule and were free to be themselves. Second, he had also designed the flag of Mexico. The third and final thing he accomplished was being named emperor.

While achieving these things there were also setbacks that occurred, for example, he had political instability within Mexico. He was also exiled and then further executed.

We should remember him because he was an important leader in the independence of Mexico and helped to create what Mexico is today.
