Incomplete and inaccurate list of actions during the War of Reform

This list is a barebones list of the actions I have found reference to in my research. I wrote it to see if Mexican versus Mexican engagements during this time were common: which they clearly were.

• The first column is an approximate date (note: sources frequently disagree, even on famous actions).
• The next is a name or location for the battle (most of the smaller actions were never formally named, the name given here is often just where it is said to have occured in the source cited).
• The fourth column gives some details.
• The last column gives the source I used.
