Pact of Zanjón
Date
February 1878
Title
Pact of Zanjón
What occurred
After a 10-year period of insurgency and war, Spanish officials met with rebels to sign the Pact of Zanjón. This treaty technically "ended" the war by ending slavery for those who had fought in the rebellion and about 16,000 slaves were granted freedom. However, this did not satisfy all the rebels which is why insurgencies continued.
