Brief summary of the May Revolution
The so-called Revolution of May was a historical process that resulted in the breaking of colonial ties with Spain in 1810 and enabled the road to independence, on July 9, 1816. The events of May did not crystallize over a liberating movement that came looking for, since 1806, greater political and economic participation of the Creoles. Thus, May 22, 1810, after he received news of the fall of the Spanish crown in the hands of French, Creole convened an open forum which had to be accepted by the Viceroy Cisneros, representing Spain in the country . After 4 days of debates and uprisings, it was decided to form a Board Creole assuming the national government until the Spanish Crown was liberated from French domination. Thus, the popular government was formed by intellectuals and military Creoles who came many years fighting for independence revolution: Cornelio Saavedra, Juan José Castelli, Manuel Belgrano, Miguel de Azcuénaga Manuel Alberti, Domingo Matheu, Juan Larrea, Juan José Paso and Mariano Moreno. From this fact, the struggle for independence was an inevitable path that led to the Congress of Tucumán of 9 July 1816
