Title: Zapata and the agrarians enter the rebellion
What occurred: Tired of the oppression by the Porfirians, Emiliano Zapata led the agrarian villagers of the indigenous regions in to a revolt on the side of Madero.

These peasants were essential to the revolution in the way of rural support and a fighting force throughout Mexico.
