The Tikal-Calakmul wars were a series of wars, mainly between Tikal and Calakmul on the Yucatán Peninsula, but also with vassal states in the Petén Basin such as Copan, Dos Pilas, Naranjo, Sacul, Quiriguá, and briefly Yaxchilan had a role in initiating the first war. ==Before the war== In 537 the Ajaws of Bonampak, Lakamtuun, and Calakmul were captured by Yaxchilan.〔 — p.121.〕 Bonampak and Lakamtuun remained under the control of Yaxchilan but in retaliation Calakmul conquered the latter. This gave the polity a strategic position with territory in both the east and the west of Tikal. Even though it had only about 50,000 people almost half of the population of Tikal which had almost half a million people, Calakmul was one of the most prosperous Maya cities.〔Braswell, G.
