Maya and supplied them with ammunition and other supplies. The British changed sides at the beginning of the Twentieth Century as their relationship with Mexico improved. This tipped the balance of power in favor of Mexico as the Maya were not able to receive material support from Honduras.

There were many similarities that existed between the native conflicts in the United States and Mexico. They both reflected desperate attempts to stop the incursion of European powers on their lands. Both conflicts saw the British initially support the indigenous populations, only to change course at a later time. The frustration of the Indians is obvious in that they were continually losing their lands at the whim of the United States or the Spaniards in Mexico. As Native Americans did their best to resist the loss of their lands, they were, more often than not, outgunned and outmanned. Both conflicts were economically driven, as the American government looked to expand west to acquire more resources and land for a growing population. In Mexico, the Maya were losing lands to wealthy planters that were becoming wealthy through sugar and agave cultivation.

A significant difference between the two conflicts is the nature of the role of the Indians. In the Caste War, the Maya were part of a feudal-type economic system that exploited their labor and abused them as workers. They were essentially part of the economic structure of Yucatan and rebelled against the planters. In the United States, the Native Americans were their own sovereign political entity. They formed an alliance of sovereign nations to stop the incursion of the United States on their territories. Both conflicts ended in failure for the indigenous populations and led to further European dominance in the Americas.

The Shawnee rebellion that you reference is also called Tecumseh's Rebellion. This is because it's named after the Shawnee leader who led the rebellion, Tecumseh. The rebellion was a conflict between the United States Army and the American Indian Confederacy. The war lasted for more than two years, until Tecumseh and his second-in-command died at the Battle of the Thames and the confederacy dissolved. The Caste War of Yucatán lasted from 1847 to 1901. It began with the Mayan people of the Yucatán Peninsula revolting against the Yucatecos, who had European descendants and had controlled the region for a long time. The war ended when the Mexican army took the Mayan capital of Chan Santa Cruz.

There are some similarities and differences between these two conflicts. Both wars involve a minority native group rising up against a hostile source of new power. For the Native Americans, that was the American government. For the Mayans, it was the Yucatecos. The Mayan war lasted much longer than the Shawnee rebellion. There could be a variety of reasons for this. However, one of them has to be that the Mayans had British support for their cause for the majority of the war. This gave their cause a level of legitimacy that the American Indians didn't have. Another difference is that the Shawnee Rebellion ended with the death of their leader, while the Mayan War ended through the Mexican army's capture of their capital city.
