Answer

The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) began their rebellion on January 1, 1994, in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. The rebellion was sparked by the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which the Zapatistas believed would harm the indigenous people of Chiapas. The Zapatistas quickly gained international attention, and their rebellion has been ongoing ever since.
