Casa Mata Plan Revolution

The Casa Mata Plan Revolution was a pivotal armed conflict arising from the political power struggle between Republican and pro-Imperialist factions in the First Mexican Empire during the first half of the 19th century. This insurrection, initiated in 1823 under the leadership of General Antonio López de Santa Anna and other dissident military leaders, sought to abolish Emperor Agustín de Iturbide's regime and restore federalist republican governance. The rebellion derived its name from the Plan of Casa Mata, a manifesto that rejected Iturbide's centralized authority and called for the reinstatement of Congress. The movement ultimately led to the collapse of the First Mexican Empire and the establishment of the United Mexican States in 1824.
