User:SolaceEaSw/Tarascan-Xalisco War

The War of a Hundred Moons (Purépecha-Nahuatl: Yaoyotl Ka Mētztli Matlactli'xha), or retroactively known as the Tarascan-Xalisco War, was a military conflict in Mesoamerica that lasted from 1348 to 1360. Regarded as one of the most devastating conflicts in Tarascan history up to that point, the war saw the largest Tarascan army being deployed against the Confederation of Xalisco, whom declared independence in 1348. Although the conflict up to 1351 was going to be a Tarascan victory, the Mixtec Kingdom, whose former civilization had been conquered by Uakusï Feud'hua in 1348, would additionally declare independence, led by the warrior-general Tupac. For nearly four years, the Tarascan army would continuously get pushed back further into the Purépechan homeland as the two-fronts of the war had damaged the possibility of victory severly. However, the tide of war would turn in favor of Tarasca after the deaths of both Tupac and the Xalisco Caconzi, Manauia, whose six-year old son and heir would be assassinated in later years, leading to an eventual Tarascan victory and the complete assimilation of their respective culture groups.
