  • Summary

    The chronological outline of the principal events and phases of the uprising serves as guideline and contextualization for the more topical discussions in subsequent chapters. This chapter discusses the origins of the Caste War in the strife between two Yucatecan political factions in 1847 and describes the advance of the rebels up to mid 1848, their retreat to the southeast of the peninsula due to internal discord and the arrival of government troop reinforcements. Particular attention is given to the most intense combat period that saw a ruthless counterinsurgency campaign lasting until the mid 1850s. The rebels were indomitable, however, and created independent polities whose autonomy endured until 1901, when Mexican forces finally crushed rebel resistance in a massive military offensive.
