Who was an influential leader of the Mexican Revolution of 1910?
Francisco I. Madero
Francisco I. Madero is often considered the spiritual father of the Mexican Revolution. Coming from a wealthy family, Madero opposed the long dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz and advocated for democracy and social reforms in Mexico. His candidacy in the 1910 presidential election and subsequent imprisonment by the Díaz regime sparked the revolutionary uprising. After the fall of Díaz, Madero became president, although his tenure was marked by ongoing challenges, culminating in his assassination. His call for democracy and social justice inspired generations of Mexicans and remains a fundamental part of Mexico's political and historical identity.
