English: December 20, 1810, issue of El Despertador Americano (roughly translated from Spanish as "The Watchful American" or "The American Alarm"), the first issue of a Mexican newspaper published by revolutionary sympathizers during the early stages of the Mexican War of Independence, in the city of Guadalajara. This issue attacks European settlers in Mexico, accusing them of cowardice and hypocricy for their acts and attitude toward the French invasion of Spain and making the Spanish colonies in the Americas vulnerable to an invasion, and then it incites the criollo population (Mexicans of European ancestry) to "wake up to the sound of the chains you've been dragging for the last three centuries" and revolt.
