The Revolution (1910 – 1917)• Francisco Madero opposed
Diaz in an election – Diaz had him imprisoned – Madero will go into exile – only to return to claim the presidency
• Madero will get leaders like Pancho Villa to help overthrow Diaz

Pancho Villa • Led revolutionaries in
Northern Mexico• Has a “Robin Hood”
mentality: take from the rich – give to the poor
• Charismatic (likeable personality) got 1000s (Mex & Ams) to join his troops

• General Huerta will assassinate Madero – becomes a caudillo
• This will upset Villa (in N) and Emiliano Zapata (leader in S) & they will fight against his rule

• Huerta will resign (quit), Carranza will take over – although not a dictator – he does not want to redistribute land – Villa & Zapata refuse to recognize him as president– Ultimately, Villa is defeated & Zapata assassinated
