Willka

[1] He was an officer in the Bolivian army, reaching the rank of colonel, and led one of the largest Indian rebellions in the history of Bolivia.

His campaign against the Bolivian government sought land reform for the Aymara and other indigenous communities and led the resistance against the system known as "latifundium".

[3] As talks with the Bolivian government broke down over land reform, the Liberal Party turned to Zárate Willka to mobilize his indigenous army.

Initially they allowed indigenous people to keep their land but imposed heavy taxes on them without protections afforded by the Spanish colonial system.

Emerging from this morass of abuse arose a caudillo in the truest sense, named Pablo Zarate Willka who joined forces with federalists, represented the indigenous people of the area, and led the federalist revolution alongside Jose Manuel Pando against the conservative government.
