I'm looking at how to bring about an earlier Mexican War of Independence, so far the three main scenarios that there seem to be are
The rumours that Bernardo Galvez was considering following the US and declare a republic along with his being killed for it are true and he avoids being poisoned
The Conspiracy of the Machetes isn't betrayed and succeeds in starting a revolution, covertly aided by Britain as part of the on-going Anglo-Spanish War
After the invasion of Spain and abdication of the King the coup against Agustín de Iturbide fails to capture him, a Cry of Dolores or similar occurs and things play out from there
Can anyone think of any other options? The Iturbide one is only a couple of years earlier so whilst his possibly being on the opposing side is interesting isn't much of an advancement, Galvez is potentially 24 years earlier but Spain won't have any major distractions from turning their full attention towards the rebels, so at the moment de la Portilla and the Conspiracy seem like the best bet. Thanks.
