Pueblo Uprising: In the wake of religious persecution, drought and violence, the people of Pueblo, Native American people in presently New Mexico, rose up against Spanish conquerors. The uprising targeted at reclaiming the religious traditions, history and land that Spanish conquerors had destroyed.
The Kol Uprising: For decades, the Kols of Singhbhum (India) were under their chiefs. Following the advent, the hegemony of Kol tribes was penetrated by the law and order of Britain and generated conflicts amongst tribal people. They were upset when the British transferred tribal land to the outsiders such as traders and moneylenders that put a great threat to the tribal chiefs' hereditary independence.
