Francisco I. Madero

Francisco I. Madero was a Mexican revolutionary and politician who became president in 1911. His presidency ended in a coup in 1913, followed by his execution.

Porfiriato: The period of Mexican history dominated by Porfirio Díaz’s rule, from 1876 to 1911. Madero challenged the political order Díaz built and maintained.
1910 Mexican presidential election: The election in which Porfirio Díaz claimed victory over Francisco I. Madero amid widespread allegations of fraud. Its disputed outcome prompted Madero to reject Díaz’s rule and call for revolt.
Emiliano Zapata: A Mexican revolutionary leader who organized peasant forces in Morelos and demanded land reform. Zapata initially supported the revolt but turned against Madero over unmet agrarian demands.
Madero’s assassination: The killing of Francisco I. Madero and José María Pino Suárez in Mexico City on February 22, 1913. Their deaths made the coup irreversible and turned Madero into a revolutionary martyr.
Porfirio Díaz: A Mexican military leader who ruled Mexico for much of the period from 1876 to 1911. Díaz’s reelection campaign against Madero turned political opposition into revolution.
Mexican Revolution of 1910: The uprising launched in November 1910 against Porfirio Díaz’s government, beginning the Mexican Revolution. Madero’s call for an uprising helped force Díaz from power.
Pascual Orozco: A Mexican revolutionary general who helped defeat Díaz’s forces before rebelling against Madero in 1912. Orozco’s shift from ally to insurgent exposed Madero’s weak coalition.
Constitutionalist Revolution: The 1913–1914 campaign led by Venustiano Carranza to overthrow Victoriano Huerta’s regime. Madero’s overthrow prompted a new coalition to fight Huerta.
Plan of San Luis Potosí: Madero’s 1910 manifesto rejecting Díaz’s reelection and calling for an uprising on November 20. This manifesto announced Madero’s challenge and gave the revolt a date and program.
Treaty of Ciudad Juárez: The 1911 agreement that ended major fighting between Díaz’s government and revolutionary forces, leading to Díaz’s resignation. The treaty brought Madero’s armed challenge to victory but left much of the old state intact.
