Victoriano Huerta
Victoriano Huerta (1850-1916) was a Mexican general who became ruler of Mexico from February, 1913, to July of 1914. Huerta was born in the state of Jalisco and joined the military in his teenage years. His leadership skills and ruthlessness were attributes that distinguished him in the armed forces in Mexico. Huerta became a favorite of Dictator Diaz because of his characteristics and was promptly promoted to the post of General. Porfirio Diaz put Huerta to fight off the Indian uprisings in Mexico, task with which the general was successful. One example was the campaign against the Maya, in which Huerta destroyed the Mayan villages and burned their crops.
When revolution began in 1910, after the elections in which Francisco Madero ran against Porfirio Diaz – Diaz actually demanded the imprisonment of Madero before the elections, guaranteeing his victory and discarding the democratic process -, violence broke out and rebels such as Pascual Orozco, Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa followed Madero’s revolutionary cause. Federal forces were attacked, trains were destroyed and cities were captured. General Huerta was one of the military leaders Diaz most respected, he was sent to fight of the revolutionary battalion led by Emiliano Zapata in Cuernavaca. The Diaz regime was being attacked from all sides and was not strong enough to fight off the revolutionaries, so Porfirio Diaz was force to resing and go into exile.
Huerta then began fighting in Madero’s army (1911-1912), even though he was disappointed with Diaz’s fall. Madero’s administration, in the beginning, was very calm and there was no violence. However, when the revolutionaries realized that Madero wouldn’t follow the revolution principals and wouldn’t keep his promises, Zapata and Orozco began to fight against him. Huerta was then called upon by Madero to fight Zapata’s and Orozco`s army.
In the year of 1912, the nephew of Porfirio Diaz, Felix Diaz, declared himself the leader in Veracruz. Although he was defeated and imprisoned, he entered in a conspiracy with US Embassador Henry Lane Wilson and Victoriano Huerta to take Madero out of power. Fighting broke out in Mexico City in February 1913, and Felix Diaz was freed from prison. When fighting began to intensify in Mexico City, Madero hid in the national palace and accepted Huertas protection. However, Huerta was planning this with Diaz in the conspiracy, so he used this opportunity to arrest Madero and make him sign a document in which Huerta was nominated Madero’s successor. In February 21st, Madero and the former vice-president were killed and most believe that Huerta ordered their assassination.
Huerta made himself dictator of Mexico and although Pascual Orozco supported the federalist forces, all the other influential revolutionaries went against Huerta. Carranza, Obregon, Villa and Zapata didn’t agree with each other in many aspects, but they all hated Huerta. All the aforementioned revolutionaries began to attack the federalists from all fronts. They didn’t coordinate their attacks, but the belief that Huerta was the last man that could be ruling Mexico at this point was what united their forces. Even president Woodrow Wilson, sensing that Huertas rule was unstable, sense forces to occupy the port of Veracruz. This tension culminated to the Battle of Zacateas in June, 1914, in which Pancho Villa attacked the federalists, forcing them to flee. However, Panchos army extended itself thorough the escape route and massacred the federalists. This battle caused the fall of Huerta, who resigned and left for exile (into Spain, England and US). Huerta tried to return to Mexico but none of his attempts were successful. Huerta died in prison in January, 1916, of cirrhosis.
