About this audiobook
The revolution of 1910 led to the defeat of President José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori and the rise of President Francisco Ignacio Madero González. President Francisco Ignacio Madero González does not fulfill the promises that he made which lead to the rise of unhappy participants on the winning side. In the north, General Pascual Orozco Vázquez fights the federal government with the help of the rich landowners. While in the south, General Emiliano Zapata Salazar fights for land and liberty from the federal government’s control. A military coup occurs in which President Francisco Ignacio Madero González is assassinated on orders of General José Victoriano Huerta Márquez. The assassin assumes the post of president of México. Now another figure declares a war against him, forming the Revolution of Venustiano Carranza (ReVeCa) to avenge the death of President Francisco Ignacio Madero González.
