    Agustín de Iturbide, a top Spanish official born in the metropolis, was an ephimeral emperor of Mexico and Central America.

    Explanation:

    Iturbide was for a long time a royalist and fought the Mexican independence fighters successfully. However, as other conservatives did, he rejected a liberal coup d'état that had taken place in Spain. Then, he allied his army with former enemy forces and at Iguala, he proclaimed the so-called Plan de Iguala on February 24, 1821, which declared independence from Spain. Iturbide crowned himself Emperor of Nueva España Agustín I a year later. He often took arbitrary decisions, was seen as extravagant, and some economic decisions proved erroneous. He was unable to win support, alienating many sectors. He was soon overthrown - his rule didn't last one year - and he marched into exile to Europe. After his return to Mexico, he was arrested and executed.
