The Treaty of Chichen Itza

The Treaty of Chichen Itza, signed in 1200 AD between the city-states of Mayapan and Uxmal, was an agreement to maintain peace and cooperation in the Yucatan Peninsula. It established rules to prevent conflict, define territorial boundaries, and promote mutual assistance among the Maya city-states. This treaty helped stabilize the region during a time of political change and demonstrated the importance of diplomacy in maintaining harmony among powerful but independent cities.
