The Caste War of Yucatán (1847–1901) began with the revolt of native Maya people of Yucatán, Mexico against the European-descended population, called Yucatecos. The latter had long held political and economic control of the region. A lengthy war ensued between the Yucateco forces in the north-west of the Yucatán and the independent Maya in the south-east. There was regular raiding between them.
In the 1850s the United Kingdom recognized the Maya state because of the value of its trading with British Honduras (present-day Belize). In addition, by 1867 the Maya occupied parts of the western part of the Yucatan, including the District of Petén, where the Xloschá and Macanché tribes were allied with them. With growing investment in Mexico, in 1893 the United Kingdom signed a new treaty with the national government, recognizing its control of all of the Yucatán, formalizing the border with British Honduras, and closing its colony to trade with Chan Santa Cruz.
The war officially ended in 1901 when the Mexican army occupied the Maya capital of Chan Santa Cruz and subdued neighboring areas. Another formal end was made in 1915, when a Mexican general was sent to subdue the territory. He introduced reforms from the revolution that ended some of the grievances. But, skirmishes with small settlements that refused to acknowledge Mexican control continued until 1933, and non-Maya were at risk of being killed if they ventured into the jungle.
There we stand about to fly Peeking down over land Parachute behind What was that moment for which we live? Without a parachute about to dive I find myself convincing Blindly falling faster How easy Know the place I’m leaving And the rest just is gone Oh the adoration But how much strength does it take For exploration For split decision Or are you stronger to remain I find myself convincing Blindly falling faster How easy Know the place I’m leaving And the rest is just gone It crept up on me Ignored all my pleas Begging to leave No justice to name me Fell out of the sky Cease it to be Without a reply Gravity fails me And when I awoke I knew what was real Hope to convince you Lies they all torture me Opened the door Knew what was me I finally realized
