Pueblo Revolt was a native uprising expelling Spanish from New Mexico temporarily.

The Pueblo Revolt in New Mexico was a pivotal event that resulted from years of oppressive Spanish rule over the indigenous Pueblo people. The Spanish, who had colonized the region, imposed harsh taxes, forced labor, and attempted to suppress the Pueblo's religious practices. Frustrated and united by their grievances, the Pueblo people staged a coordinated uprising, led by leaders such as Pope, a Tewa religious leader. On the day of the revolt, Pueblo warriors launched a surprise attack on Spanish settlements, killing priests and settlers alike. The Spanish were caught off guard and faced heavy casualties. In the following months, the Pueblo insurgents successfully drove the Spanish out of the region, reclaiming their land and autonomy. The Spanish fled south to El Paso, marking the first time European colonialists had been expelled from a part of the Americas. The Pueblo Revolt had a lasting impact, as the Spanish were temporarily forced to abandon their hold over the territory. Although the Spanish would eventually reassert control over New Mexico in the years to come, the revolt demonstrated the resilience and unity of the Pueblo people in the face of colonial oppression. #PuebloRevolt #NewMexico #Colonialism #IndigenousResistance
