Cristero War

The Cristero War was a significant conflict in Mexican history that took place from 1926 to 1929. It was a violent rebellion by Catholic militants against the anti-clerical policies and government restrictions imposed by the Mexican federal government, particularly under President Plutarco Elías Calles. The war highlighted deep tensions between the state and the Catholic Church, and its impact resonated through Mexico’s social, religious, and political landscape for many years.
