22-APR-1854 :- DETH OF Nicolás Bravo, Mexican general and politician, 11th President of Mexico.

Nicolás Bravo Rueda (10 September 1786 – 22 April 1854) was a Mexican politician and soldier. He distinguished himself in both roles during the 1846–1848 U.S. invasion of Mexico

During the War of Independence (1810–21), Bravo fought alongside Hermenegildo Galeana and afterward alongside José María Morelos in the campaign of the south. In 1811 with Hermenegildo Galeana, Bravo obtained the military command of the province of Veracruz. He was also involved in the defense of the Congress of Chilpancingo.

In 1817 the royalists took him prisoner and it was only in 1820 that he was able to recover his freedom. He allied himself with the Plan de Iguala and, on 27 September 1821, he entered Mexico City with the trimphant Ejército Trigarante (in the "Army of the Three Guarantees")..
