The event that triggered the Acoma Revolt against the Spanish in December 1598 was the brutal and violent "Battle of Acoma" also known as the "Acoma Massacre." In the battle, Spanish conquistadors attacked and conquered the native Acoma Pueblo tribe's village in New Mexico. Many Acoma people were killed, and survivors were enslaved and subjected to harsh treatment by the Spanish. This ruthless act led to the Acoma Revolt, where the Acoma people rebelled against Spanish oppression and attempted to regain control of their land and freedom.
