Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pueblo Revolt was significant because it was the largest and most successful Native American uprising against European colonizers in North America. The revolt led to the deaths of hundreds of colonizers and the expulsion of the Spanish from the region for over a decade, delaying their efforts to reestablish control over New Mexico. While the revolt did not ultimately prevent the Spanish from reestablishing control, it did demonstrate that Native American resistance to European incursion was possible and inspired further uprisings in the future.
