dec 26, 1679 - 1680 - The Pueblo Revolt (Popè)

Description:

In doing it so, they burned churches, destroyed all catholic reliques and tortured, mutilated and executed priests. The Pueblo Revolt constitutes the biggest dent ever inflicted upon the Europeans. It took Spain 14 years and four military assaults to gain control of Santa Fe.
