Porfirio Diaz was an autocrat that had been president of Mexico for the last 30 years (1876 - 1911). He believed in strong economic growth, at the expense of civil and political rights. This state of things helped the candidacy of Francisco Madero for the presidential seat during the 1910 election. When Diaz imprisoned Madero to prevent him from being elected, the first stage of the Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1921) was triggered.


Madero had more liberal beliefs; he however made the mistake of not replacing key civil servants -- who were mostly conservatives and followers of Diaz's policies -- so his presidency was seen as weak, unable to follow through his campaign promises. Then came Henry Lane Wilson (U.S. ambassador in Mexico) who co-conspired with General Victoriano Huerta to stage a coup d'etat against Madero. This resulted in the assassination of Madero and his vice-president Jose Maria Pino Suarez in 1913, thus extending the revolution for another 8 years.
