What was the name of the 1926-1929 armed uprising by Catholic peasants in western states, triggered by President Calles's strict enforcement of the anticlerical provisions of the 1917 Constitution?

The Cristero War (La Cristiada) saw armed Catholic rebels battling federal forces, ending with a US-brokered truce that eased enforcement but didn't formally change the law.
