Question

augustin de iturbide was able to declare independence from spain while also proclaiming himself emperor in part because
○ he came from a family of peninsulares.
○ he had started the independence movement.
○ that was the type of government the spanish colonists were used to.
○ he deserved the title after his leadership in the battle for independence.

Explanation:

Agustín de Iturbide was a military leader who played a pivotal role in Mexico's fight for independence from Spain. His military leadership and the success of his Plan of Iguala (which united royalists and insurgents) led to Mexican independence, and his leadership in the conflict led him to declare himself emperor. The other options are incorrect: he was a criollo (not peninsular), he did not start the independence movement (it began years earlier with figures like Hidalgo), and Spanish colonists were not accustomed to an imperial government in the region in that context.

Answer:

he deserved the title after his leadership in the battle for independence.
