The End of the Ríato (: Ríato Tardío) was a period of significant unrest in Cagayan towards the end of, and after, the Ríato period. It was generally a unified struggle between the Zurdazo and the traditionalists, but took place as an extended sequence of armed conflicts, coinciding with regional conflicts such as the Anti-jefista insurgency and the religious conflicts of the Cruzadas. Fought mainly by militias of the opposing forces, it is considered the second and final part of the Years of Strife, which had begun since Cagayan's independence, ending in the establishment of the Directorial State.

The rule of Alejandro de los Ríos was becoming increasingly unpopular, due to a combination of increasing inequality, his, and the government's cultural repression policies collectively called the La Vergüenza. The proximate starting point of the End of the Ríato was the Ising massacre on 1 May 1900, when striking workers in Ising were fired on by Civil Guards. Subsequently, the opposition began to lean towards militancy, adopting the strategy of pistolerismo, causing a series of workers' uprisings such as in Pagnahian and Somal-ot, as well as the emergence of terrorist groups such as the Vengadores Revolucionarios and Obreros Insumisos that bombed government targets and assassinated officials, most notably the Secretary of the Treasury Aureliano Nocanóa in 1904. In 1907, Zurdazistas and formed the Pact of Cabadbarán, which started a revolution in 1908 that resulted in free elections through the Accords of San Juan. However, de los Ríos would later enact the Ríazo coup in 1911, killing the new Vicente Mercado that had replaced him before being finally defeated by the loyalist Army of National Liberation in 1912. The Federal Republic of the Cagayan was then founded to replace the Transitional Republic.

The Zurdazo was a broad coalition of organisations such as and other organisations that variously espoused, , and , and was the main cohesive force in the conflict that eventually defined its allies in the support of the Federal Republic and enemies in the traditionalists, including remnants of the Rioistas that had previously supported de los Ríos. However, an ordosyndicalist offshoot called the JANOS would later ally with the traditionalists and attempt a coup in 1913, sparking the Second Tupada that lasted until 1917. The JANOS and its allies, the golpistas, emerged victorious over the federales, establishing the Directorial State that replaced the Federal Republic.
