Augustin Iturbide was a General that took over control upon Mexico's Independence in 1821 and established the first Mexican Empire. After a military revolt in Santa Cruz in 1823, he stepped down and fled to Europe. In 1824, Augustin returned to Mexico but was quickly arrested and executed by opposing forces.
