January 651: Dos Pilas was a Mayan city-state ruled by B'alaj Chan K'awiil, the brother of the king of Tikal. In 650, it was conquered by the rival city-state of Calakmul after years of intense warfare between the two powers.
January 658: B'alaj Chan K'awiil initially fled into exile, but then opted to switch sides and restored his rule of Dos Pilas, this time under Calakmul's dominance. Supported by his new allies, Dos Pilas consequently began a destructive "proxy war" against its old mother city. He won the war with Tikal, captured and sacrificed the city's ruler (his own brother).
January 696: From then until 695, three years after B'alaj's death, Calakmul factually dominated Tikal. In 695, under the leadership of Jasaw Chan K'awiil I, Tikal won a major battle with Calakmul and turned the tables.
The central American city-state of Tikal attacked and captured the city of Dos Pilas in AD 672.
January 673: King Nuun Ujol Chaak of Tikal attacked and captured Dos Pilas in AD 672.
January 551: Calakmul was a rival city with equivalent resources that challenged the supremacy of Tikal and engaged in a strategy of surrounding it with its own network of allies. From the second half of the 6th century AD through to the late 7th century Calakmul gained the upper hand although it failed to extinguish Tikal's power completely and Tikal was able to turn the tables on its great rival in a decisive battle that took place in AD 695. Half a century later Tikal was able to gain major victories over Calakmul's most important allies. Eventually both cities succumbed to the spreading Classic Maya collapse.
