•  Mixtón War

  The Mixtón War was fought between Spanish invaders and several Chichimeca native tribes. The Spanish victory in 1541 allowed the invaders to break through into the Chichimecan territory. After the Spanish conquest of central Mexico, expeditions were sent further northwards to the region known as La Gran Chichimeca to explore and search for gold. In 1529, Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán set forth with a force of 10,500 men on a march through Nayarit, Jalisco, Durango, Sinaloa and Zacatecas.

•  Chichimeca War

  The Chichimeca War took place in 1550, nine years after the Mixtón Rebellion. It can be considered as a continuation of the rebellion since the fighting did not come to a halt in the intervening years. In 1550, Zacatecos and Guachichile Indians attacked Spanish merchants and silver miners in the region. Unlike in the Mixtón rebellion, the Caxcanes were now allied with the Spanish, and the war was primarily fought by the Zacatecos and Guachichiles against the Spanish and their Indian allies.
