What are sone examples of localized conflicts in Mexican history?

Asked by Brian_Ghilliotti (328points) April 13th, 2017

Were there any examples of localized micro-conflicts in Mexican history that led to small scale wars and intervention from federal forces to stop it?

To get a better idea of what I am talking about, I will provide examples of localized conflicts in American history. One example is the Lincoln County War of 1878, where competing business interests in Lincoln County, New Mexico decided to use partisan violence to suppress the activities of their rivals,culminating in the battle of Lincoln, which has been featured in the film “Young Guns”. Federal troops intervened to stop the fighting. Another such conflict occurred in Johnson County, Wyoming, where a large scale cattle grazing interest tried to muscle out the smaller ranchers in the county, leading to two ranch sieges before the US 6th Cavalry intervened to stop the violence. Were there similar examples of localized micro-conflicts escalating to open warfare in Mexican history?
