The Mexican Revolution was not as many believe: a battle between Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata.
The Revolution began in 1910 and lasted until the last revolutionary hero died when he was murdered by those who once were his allies. It all started because the Mexicans were getting tired of the dictator Porfirio Diaz. All the farmers were marginalized and the slaves joined forces in a revolutionary army to defeat the dictator.

It all started when, in 1908, Porfirio Diaz said that Mexico was ready for democracy in an interview with an American journalist. These people who had heard about this interview felt that it was time to participate in politics. One such man was Francisco I. Madero. Together with other young politician, Francisco I. Madero created the ”Anti-reeleccionista” Party, which he represented in the presidential elections.

Madero who was very rich, and an owner of vineyards and wineries in Coahuila, had no need to meddle in politics, to increase his fortune. But he truly believed that Mexico needed a change. For that he participated in the elections of 1910 against Porfirio Diaz.
Francisco I. Madero at first only wanted to be the vice president not the president, but he was exiled and persecuted by troops of President Porfirio Diaz. In exile, Francisco I. Madero released the ”Plan of San Luis,” that declared that the elections had been a fraud and that he would not recognize Porfirio Diaz as the legitimate President of the Republic.
