User:SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits/List of conflicts in Mexico

This is a list of conflicts in Mexico arranged chronologically from the pre-Columbian era until postcolonial period (c. 10000 BCE – Present^[update]). This list includes any and/or all raid, strike, skirmish, siege, sacking, and/or battle (land, naval, and aerial) that occurred on any one territory of what may today be referred to as Mexico; however, in which the conflict itself may have only been part of an operation of a campaign in a theater of a greater war (e.g. any border, undeclared, colonial, proxy, liberation, Indian, ritual, world wars, etc.). There may also be periods of violent, civil unrest listed; such as, shootouts, spree killings, massacres, terrorist attacks, coups, assassinations, regicides, riots, rebellions, revolutions, and civil wars (as well as wars of succession and/or independence). The list might also contain episodes of human sacrifice, mass suicide, and ethnic cleansing/genocide.
