  The Revolt of Querétaro was an armed conflict fought in 1823 and waged by the Imperialist faction after the fall of the First Mexican Empire and the victory of the Casa Mata Plan Revolution.
  
  ## Revolt
  
  On 12 December 1823, the 8th Regiment based in Santiago de Querétaro conducted a military rebellion led by a Spanish sergeant and an Andalusian from Cadiz, who arrested commander José Joaquín Calvo and other provisional authorities. They then seized the park and weapons and prepared to seize more territory outside the city.
  
  ## Response
  
  General Nicolás Bravo, who after the Guadalajara rebellion, left with his forces for Guanajuato to act if needed, was in Celaya. He soon introduced himself to his forces and suppressed the rebels. With the approval of the government, he then disbanded the regiment and arrested the leader of the rebellion.
