How did don Diego de vargas plan to reconquer the pueblos?

Don Diego de Vargas planned to reconquer the pueblos of New Mexico through a combination of military force and diplomacy. He aimed to establish peace with the Indigenous peoples by promising protection and respect for their customs while also sending troops to assert Spanish control. Vargas sought to rebuild trust after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 by engaging in negotiations and securing alliances, thereby facilitating a smoother reintegration of the pueblos into the Spanish colonial system. His strategy reflected a blend of coercion and cooperation to restore Spanish authority in the region.
