Mexican Leaders Of The Revolution Poncho Villa 1914 Real Photo Postcard
The postcard depicts figures likely associated with the Mexican Revolution, a defining period in early 20th-century Latin American history. Kicking off in 1910, this widespread civil conflict sought to dismantle the authoritarian rule of Porfirio Díaz and address profound socio-economic disparities, including land ownership and political representation, which had simmered for decades.
This turbulent era saw the emergence of various revolutionary leaders, from liberal intellectuals like Francisco I. Madero to agrarian reformists such as Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa. Their diverse agendas and shifting alliances resulted in a protracted struggle, ultimately leading to the promulgation of the Constitution of 1917, which laid the groundwork for modern Mexico, though the violence and political instability persisted for several years afterward.
