Civilizations
Mexico
Born out of a fiery insurgency against Spanish colonial rule, the young Mexican nation asserted itself and triumphed despite numerous revolutions and invasions.
Miguel Hidalgo
In Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, Miguel Hidalgo inspired Padre Miguel’s enlightened yet fiery personality, more revolutionary than politician. As a man familiar with both the bureaucracy and the common people, he knows how to leverage the diverse strengths of the Mexican people – whether towards early aggression or patient consolidation and shrewd advances from a strong position.
Historical battles
Grito de Dolores
As the Bourbon Reforms granted the Spanish elite more power and diminished that of the church, resentment grew among the rural Mexican population. When news of Napoleon Bonaparte’s conquest of Spain reached the Americas, the words of a Catholic priest ignited the sparks of revolution.
Battle of Queenston Heights
At the beginning of the War of 1812, the Americans launched an invasion across the Niagara River into British Canada. To halt this offensive and defend Canada, the British called upon the militias of York and Lincoln as well as their Mohawk, Lenape, and Haudenosaunee allies.
