Analysis of Articles on The Chichimeca Wars

The Chithemeka war was the main role of the Spaniard in conquering Azteca. After the majority of new colonies in Mexico were founded, a war between the two sides or a small battle took place between 1550 and 1590. The Spaniards eventually took part in the longest and most expensive conflict with indigenous peoples. After the war began, the land where the tribe lived was found to be rich in silver mines, which led to the establishment of Spain's mines. The Spanish government adopted a policy of "fire and blood war". It means death, slavery and sniper of the people of Chitimeka.

Eight years after the battle, the Chithemeka war began. Because the battle did not stop during this period, it can be regarded as continuation of the rebellion.

In 1554, when Chitimeca attacked a fleet of 60 trucks and captured valuable items of more than 30,000 pesos, it brought a great loss to the Spaniards. By the 1580's, thousands of people died and the Spanish mine settlement in the Zhiximeka region was threatened. In 1585, Marquis of Villamanrique, Don Alvaro Manriquede Zúñiga was appointed Governor. This "purchase of peace" policy finally ended the Chithemeka war
