Title: Madero nominated for president
What occurred: Madero was nominated by an anti-reelection party, this sparked anti Diaz forces all around the country. Madero began a grand tour around Mexico where he stirred up fervor for his campaign. Madero was able to unite the repressed peasents, middle class, land owners, elites left out of Diazs government and liberals behind him. This powerful political coalition scared Diaz and he arrested Madero later in 1910.
