The Battle of the Three Kings took place on January 16, 1478, in the region of Guatemala. This conflict was fought between the forces of Pedro de Alvarado, representing the Spanish crown, and two rival indigenous leaders, Tz'utujil and K'iche'. The battle was part of the Spanish conquest of the Maya territories, aiming to establish control over the region. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for Alvarado, solidifying Spanish dominance in Central America. This event marked a significant moment in the history of the Maya civilization, as it led to increased Spanish colonization and the decline of indigenous power in the area.
