==History==
[[File:Monte Alban temple 2006 08.JPG|thumb|left|Monte Albán is regardit as the historical antecedent o the modren ceety o Oaxaca.]]
Thare haed been Zapotec an Mixtec dounsets in [[Valley o Oaxaca]] for thoosans o years, especially in connection wi the important auncient centers o Monte Albán an [[Mitla]], which are close tae modren Oaxaca ceety.<ref name="MexDesOax"/>  The [[Aztec]]s entered the glen in 1440 an namit it "Huaxyacac," a Nahuatl phrase meanin "amang the huaje" ([[Leucaena leucocephala]]) trees. A strategic militar poseetion wis creatit here, at wha is nou cried the Cerro (lairge hill) del Fortín tae keep an ee on the Zapotec caipital o [[Zaachila]] an secur the tred route atween the [[Valley o Mexico]], [[Tehuantepec]] an wha is nou [[Central Americae]].<ref name="cumple476">{{cite web |author=Oaxaca.org |title= Oaxaca cumple 476 años como ciudad  |url= http://www.oaxaca.org/Links/historia/oaxaca476.html |trans_title=Oaxaca celebrates is 476th anniversary as a city  |language=Spanish  |accessdate=8 September 2009}}</ref> When the Spaingie arrivit in 1521, the Zapotecs an the Mixtecs wur involvit in ane o thair mony wars. [[Spaingie conquest o the Aztec Empire|Spaingie conquest]] wad end this fechtin.<ref name="climahistoria">{{cite web |title= Fundación e historia de Oaxaca de Juárez  |url= http://www.elclima.com.mx/fundacion_e_historia_de_oaxaca_de_juarez.htm |publisher= El Clima |language=Spanish  |accessdate=8 September 2009}}</ref>

The first Spaingie expedeetion here arrivit late in 1521, heidit bi Caiptain Francisco de Orozco, an accompaniet bi 400 Aztecs.<ref name="cumple476"/> [[Hernán Cortés]] sent Francisco de Orozco tae Oaxaca acause [[Moctezuma II]] said that the Aztec's gowd came frae thare.<ref name="climahistoria"/> The Spaingie expedeetion unner Orozco set aboot biggin a Spaingie ceety whare the Aztec militar post wis at the base o the Cerro de Fortín. The first mass wis said here bi Chaplain Juan Díaz on the bank o the Atoyac River unner a lairge huaje tree, whare the Kirk o San Juan de Dios wad be constructit later. This same chaplain addit saunts’ names tae the surroondin veelages in addition tae keepin thair Nahuatl names: Santa María Oaxaca, [[San Martín Mexicapan]], [[San Juan Chapultepec]], [[Santo Tomas Xochimilco]], [[San Matías Jalatlaco]], [[Santiago Tepeaca]], etc. This group o Spaniards chose thair first mayor, Gutierres de Badajoc, thair first toun cooncil an began construction o the cathedral o Oaxaca in 1522. Thair name for the dounset wis Guajaca, a Hispanization o the Nahuatl name (which wad later be respelt as Oaxaca).<ref name="cumple476"/>

The establishment o the relatively unthirlt veelage did no suit Hernán Cortes, who wantit pouer ower the entire region for hissel. Cortés sent [[Pedro de Alvarado]], who proceedit tae drive oot maist o the veelage's population. The oreeginal Spaingie settlers appealed tae the Spaingie croun tae recognise the veelage thay foondit, which it did in 1526, wi laund dividit amang the Spaniards o Orozco's expedeetion. Housomeivver, this did no stap Cortés frae drivin oot the population o the veelage ance again an replacin the toun cooncil anerlie three month efter ryal recognition. Ance again, the oreeginal foonders appealed tae Spaingie ryal authority, this time tae the viceroy in Mexico Ceety, [[Nuño de Guzmán]]. This viceroy sidit wi the oreeginal foonders an aw, an the toun wis refoondit in 1529 as Antequera, in honour o Nuño de Guzmán's hametoun. Francisco de Herrera convened the new, [[Spaingie Croun|Croun]]-appruivit toun cooncil,<ref name="cumple476"/> an the first layoot o the dounset wis mappit oot bi Juan Peláez de Berrio.<ref name="encmuc"/>

In the meantime, Cortés wis able tae obtain frae the croun the title o the Marquis o the Valley o Oaxaca, which contains the disputit veelage. This permittit him tae tax the aurie hivily, an tae hae control o the territory that surroondit the veelage. The veelage wis then in a poseetion o haein tae survive surroondit bi veelages which answered tae Cortés. Thir veelages no anerlie did no tak orders frae Antequera, thay wur hostile tae it, maistly likely encouragit bi Cortés.<ref name="cumple476"/>

Tae coonter this, the veelage petitioned the croun tae be elevatit tae the status o a ceety, which wad gie it certaint richts, privileges an exceptions. It wad ensur that the dounset wad remain unner the direct control o the keeng an aw, rather than o Cortés. This petition wis grantit in 1532 bi [[Charles V o Spain]].<ref name="encmuc"/><ref name="cumple476"/>

Efter the [[Mexican War o Unthirldom|unthirldom o Mexico]] in 1821, the ceety became the seat o a municipality, an baith the name o the ceety an the municipality became Oaxaca, chyngit frae Antequera. In 1872, "de Juárez" as addit tae the ceety an municipality names tae honour Benito Juárez, who began his legal an poleetical career here.<ref name="encmuc"/>

The [[2006 Oaxaca protests]] began as a teachers’ protest, occupyin the main square, or Zocalo, o Oaxaca ceety in Mey 2006. Increases in wages an employment benefits wur annooncit a short time later, but an internal conflict in the local teachers’ union led tae accusations that the bargainin haed no really been in the teachers’ best interest. Wirk stoppage an occupation o the square continued frae 22 Mey tae 1 Juin. At this pynt, radical groups jynt in wi the protest an the disorder grew, closin banks, access roads, the airport, access tae stores an harassin the govrenor o the state in public appearances.
