This article focuses on the period between 1913 and 1914, when the incipient democracy that had emerged under Francisco I. Madero underwent a dramatic change. Thereafter, various groups of revolutionaries fought against the coup d’état by Victoriano Huerta. When they defeated the usurper’s regime, a period of political and military definition that has been of enormous interest to historians.
