At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution, the most radical faction, that of Zapata and his followers, proposed a return to communal ownership of land, (to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards. )

请问 to what 指代的是faction, land 还是 ownership? 什莫意思？

my opinion:

"what" here refers to "communal ownership" - a form of ownership.

可否理解为:
communal ownership of land = what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards. 是同位语
