Examples of Yucatán in the following topics:
-
- The Maya cities of the northern lowlands in Yucatán continued to flourish; some of the important sites in this era were Chichén Itzá, Uxmal, Edzná, and Coba.
- The area degenerated into competing city-states until the Spanish arrived in the Yucatán and shifted the power dynamics.
- The Spanish campaign, sometimes termed "The Spanish Conquest of Yucatán," would prove to be a lengthy and dangerous exercise for the invaders from the outset, and it would take some 170 years and tens of thousands of Indian auxiliaries before the Spanish established substantive control over all Maya lands.
- However, the Yucatán does not offer rich mining opportunities, and some areas were difficult to navigate because of the dense jungle environment.
