1680Pueblo Revolt BeginsPueblo peoples rise against Spanish colonial rule in New MexicoOn 10 August 1680, Pueblo communities across New Mexico rose in a coordinated revolt against Spanish colonizers, driven by religious suppression and forced labor. The uprising, led in part by the religious leader Pope, killed roughly 400 Spanish settlers and missionaries and forced survivors to abandon Santa Fe by 21 August. Spanish authorities did not reconquer the region until 1692.
