In 1598, [[Juan de Oñate]] established the province of Santa Fe, which was inhabited by Pueblo people, and enslaved the native population. The colonizers demanded labor and agricultural goods from the Pueblo and attacked them for practicing their traditional religion. This led to a revolt in 1680 led by a San Juan Pueblo named Popé which gave the Pueblo independence for thirteen years. While independent, they sold guns and horses to the [[Navajo]] and [[Apache]], who had previously been their enemies. In the 1690's, the Spanish recolonized the area and defeated a second attempted revolt.<ref name=":0" />

In the 18th century, the Spanish continued colonizing western North America and established settlements in modern-day [[New Mexico]], [[Texas]], [[Colorado]], and [[Arizona]].

[[Francisco Madero]] organized a [[Liberalism|liberal]] opposition party against Díaz which supported constitutional government and social reforms. He was arrested and later fled to the United States. In 1910, [[Emiliano Zapata]]'s group of revolutionaries decided to take part in elections. A rebellion began against Diaz, led by [[Pancho Villa]] in the North and Zapata in the South. The northern army supported Madero and wanted to support the Mexican [[bourgeoisie]] against foreign capitalists. Zapata's Liberator Army of the South was less organized than the northern forces. Women fought in both armies. Diaz was removed from power and a provisional government was declared until Madero was elected president the next year. Despite his promises, land remained in the hands of [[Landlord|landlords]] and foreign businessmen. 15 months after he took power, the reactionary general [[Victoriano Huerta]] murdered Madero.<ref name=":1" />
