Battle context
The Battle of Llanos de Santa Juana was a royalist victory in the Colima region during the Mexican War of Independence. Fought between royalist forces under Colonel Manuel del Río and insurgents under General José Calixto Martínez y Moreno, the engagement resulted in a defeat for the Mexican rebel force, which sustained approximately 300 casualties from a force of around 1,000. The outcome reinforced Spanish control in the area around what is now Cuauhtémoc, Colima, checking insurgent expansion in that region at a period when the independence movement was facing significant military pressure across multiple fronts.
