Victoriano Huerta (1850 - 1916) By all historical accounts, Victoriano Huerta was a drunkard, a liar, a thief, and a traitor. Most people consider him the worst villain of the Mexican revolution. Although he fought alongside Francisco I. Madero, and defended Madero's presidency against several uprisings (including the one engineered by Pascual Orozco), he ultimately betrayed Madero. After that, Huerta became president. When he himself was overthrown in 1914, he went to Europe, and then returned to the United States to plot another coup with his former enemy, Pascual Orozco. He would never return to Mexico. Huerta was born in Jalisco, near the center of Mexico and studied at the Colegio Militar (the military academy) in Mexico City. He became a general in the federal army of dictator Porfirio Díaz, but when Díaz was overthrown and Madero became President, Huerta remained in the federal army, serving Madero. In that capacity, Huerta fought against the Zapatistas, but Madero removed him, thinking that the Zapatistas would respond better to the diplomatic approach of Felipe Ángeles, another general who had originally served Díaz, and then turned to Madero. Friction grew between Huerta and Madero, and as U.S. Ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson began to doubt Madero's ability to maintain order, Huerta orchestrated a coup with Wilson's blessing. Huerta was able to remove – and ultimately assassinate -- President Francisco Madero and Vice-President Pino Suarez. As president, Huerta earned both the hatred of Mexicans who did not want another, and even fiercer, dictator after Díaz, as well as the distrust of the U.S. government. The new U.S. President, Woodrow Wilson, recalled Henry Lane Wilson, and ordered that the Mexican port of Veracruz be seized when it was discovered that German ships were bringing arms (ironically, American arms) to Huerta. The seizure lasted longer than the remainder of Huerta's presidency – which ended in July, 1914, on the eve of Europe's entry into World War I. He was forced into exile as the "Constitutionalists," the combined forces of Venustiano Carranza, Álvaro Obregón, and Francisco Villa defeated his federal troops in battles all across the northern half of the country. Huerta traveled around Europe for a short period of time, but came to the U.S. in 1915, planning another coup. At one point, he met up with his old foe, Pascual Orozco, and they explored the possibility of returning to Mexico City together, and regaining power. It was not to be. Huerta and Orozco were both arrested in New Mexico, close to the Texas border. Although Orozco escaped (and was subsequently killed, attempting to return across the border), Huerta never fully regained his freedom, and died on U.S. territory early in 1916 -- of cirrhosis of the liver.

Venustiano Carranza, a Violation of the Sovereignty of Mexico, 1916
Venustiano Carranza, A Violation of the Sovereignty of Mexico, 1916 As Venustiano Carranza attempted to consolidate power, one of his most well-known and popular backers, Francisco ‘Pancho’ Villa, turned against him. Though a brilliant strategist, Villa was unable to keep Carranza’s much larger forces from overwhelming his own troops. In desperation, and remembering that Carranza had said he would fight U.S. occupying forces in Veracruz, even though they had been initially been sent to help him, Villa hoped to provoke a U.S. invasion and attacked the town of Columbus, New Mexico. He hoped that Carranza would fight the United States, and that conflict would give him time to regroup and gain momentum against a weakened Carranza. Woodrow Wilson responded as Villa had hoped and authorized an invasion of northern Mexico to find Villa. In this document Carranza’s responds to the invasion. 1. The Mexican Government has just been informed that a group of American troops, crossing the international boundary, has entered Mexican territory and is at the present time near a place called El Pino, located about sixty miles south of the line. The crossing of these troops effected again without the consent of the Mexican Government gravely endangers the harmony and good relations which should exist between the Governments of the United States and Mexico. This Government must consider the above action as a violation of the sovereignty of Mexico, and therefore it requests in a most urgent manner that the Washington Government should consider the case carefully in order to definitely outline the policy it should follow with regard to the Mexican Nation.

Staputyte: The Legacy of Emiliano Zapata The Legacy of Emiliano Zapata by Kotryna Staputyte (English 1101) n the early 20th century, the Mexican government was plagued with corruption, greed, injustice and violence. Although the Mexican Revolution, which started in 1910, resulted in the end of dictatorship in Mexico and the drafting of a constitution in 1917, periodic violence continued Ithroughout the nation well into the 1930’s. A number of revolutionaries rose from the Revolution, including Francisco Madero, Pascual Orozco, Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata. Among them, Zapata is considered one of the most significant figures in Mexican history (Brunk). Zapata was a tenant farmer, from Anenecuilco, Morelos, who had strong resentment against the injustices suffered by his people. In 1911, along with a group of campesinos from Morelos, he joined a rebellion against the regime Mexico’s long-time president Porfirio Diaz. This rebellion was fought for the return of land to the indigenous people, as well as the resources lost due to the infringement of their rights.
