A devout Christian shot Obregón at point blank range at a luncheon. He said he did so out of religious conviction as a sympathizer of the Cristeros. This assassination killed the last person left from the 1910 Fiesta of bullets.
Calles had founded the National Revolutionary Party (PNR) in the wake of the assassination of Sonoran general Alvaro Obregón, who served as president (1920–24) and was president-elect in 1928. Cárdenas transformed the structure of the party Calles founded, creating the Partido de la Revolución Mexicana (PRM)
Obregon feared rebellion which led to the assassination of Pancho Villa. Villa was on the way home from the bank when his car was shot at 40 times. The killers claimed personal motives for the crime many citizens began to blame Obregon and Calles. This is seen as one of Obregon's most cowardly acts.
Catholic bishops, with the support of the Pope, led their parishioners to boycott the Mexican government in protest of President Calles' increasingly harsh treatment of the church, especially the Law for Reforming the Penal Code, setting up for the Cristero War in 1927.
Emiliano Zapata was assisted at Hacienda de San Juan, Chinameca on April 10, 1919. The plan to murder Zapata came from Carranza, was orchestrated by General Gonzales, and played out by officer Guajardo. Zapata's death brought his followers closer together and spurred them into rebellion against Carranza.
Lazaro Cardenas, protege of Calles, is elected as President of Mexico. He was officially elected, but Calles planned to stay in power behind the scenes.
The inhabitants of Anenecuilco elected Emilian Zapata president of their village council. Becoming president he vowed to defend the lands of his village, first through the judicial system by asserting the property rights laid out in old title deeds, and then by appealing to the governor of Morelos. These needs and poverty rights were violated which led Zapata and other villagers to take up arms a mouth after the beginning of the Madero revolt.
In the last major battle of the Revolution, Constitutionalists fought Villistas in Agua Prieta. The Constitutionalists successfully defended Agua Prieta.
Díaz agreed to step down in return for Madero's acceptance of the nomination of Francisco León de la Barra as interim president until new elections in October.
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 villagers were focused mainly on the protection and possible expansion of the land they owned and felt they deserved. These peasants were essential to the revolution in the way of rural support and a fighting force throughout Mexico.
After the toppling of the Diaz regime, Madero and his supporters organized the return of free elections in Mexico City as well as some areas. While these elections might not have encompassed all of Mexico, the act of free elections gave hope to the Mexican people about the return of Democracy. These free elections also resulted in a congress and other forms of state and local government not run solely by Porfirians but many different groups.
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.
Prior, the Pact of the Embassy between Huerta, Díaz, and U.S. Ambassador Wilson was created. This united united both Huerta and Díaz to a common cause. This was when the final steps were arranged for Madero's coup. This also assured that Huerta would gain presidency.
