protect the northern provinces and borders of New Spain, the present-day
states of California, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Arizona, Montana,
North Dakota, and South Dakota.[24] In mainland Spain, dragoons were
reclassified as light cavalry from 1803 but remained among the elite units
of the Spanish Colonial Army. A number of dragoon officers played a leading
role in initiating the Mexican War of Independence in 1810, including
Ignacio Allende, Juan Aldama and Agustin de Iturbide, who briefly served as
Emperor of México from 1822 to 1823. |
