La vida cotidiana en tiempos del desenlace de la guerra social maya (1895-1904)

Abstract

In the last decade of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the Caste War was a massive military undertaking in southeastern Mexico. The Yucatan Military Campaign against the Maya, conducted by the Mexican Armed Forces, finally ended the war. This paper analyzes the effects of the military invasion on daily life, the consequences of the conflict actions of both forces on the population of the region, and the ways in which the settlers survived, adapted, or migrated as a result of the war. The research is based on historical documents, oral tradition and archaeological evidence. This information, together, provides insight into the struggles of the common people during the armed conflict and their hardships, and also helps in the reconstruction of scenarios in which events took place, in order to have a better understanding of the impact in the daily life history of the Yucatan and its surroundings.
