The Spanish missions in California comprise a series of 21 religious outposts or missions established between 1769 and 1833 in what is now the U.S. state of California. Founded by Catholic priests of the Franciscan order to evangelize the Native Americans, the missions led to the creation of the New Spain province of Alta California and were part of the expansion of the Spanish Empire into the most northern and western parts of Spanish North America.
The Pueblo Revolt of 1680, also known as Popé's Rebellion or Popay's Rebellion, was an uprising of most of the indigenous Pueblo people against the Spanish colonizers in the province of Santa Fe de Nuevo México, larger than present-day New Mexico.

Californios are Hispanic people native to the U.S. state of California, direct descendants of Spanish settlers from the Viceroyalty of New Spain and Mexicans who settled in the state of California before it became a US state in 1850. California's Spanish-speaking community has resided there since 1683 and is made up of varying Peninsular Spanish, Criollo Spanish, White Mexican, Mexican mestizo and Indigenous Californian origins. Alongside the Tejanos of Texas and Neomexicanos of New Mexico and Colorado, Californios are part of the larger Hispano community of the United States, which has inhabited the American Southwest and the West Coast since the 16th century. Like most Hispanos, they differentiate themselves culturally from the population of Mexican Americans whose ancestors arrived in the American Southwest after the Mexican Revolution.
