Victoriano Huerta (1850-1916) was a Mexican general who co-conspirated with the American ambassador in Mexico to stage a coup d'etat against Mexican president Francisco Madero. The assassination of Madero and his vice president Jose Maria Pino Suarez on Huerta's orders in 1913, triggered the second stage of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921). He became a dictator until he was forced out of the country on October of 1914. He tried to regain control of Mexico with German support, but was captured with conspiracy charges in the U.S. twice. He died in prison in January 14, 1916.
Venustiano Carranza, a key leader in the Mexican Revolution, recruited an army to oppose the regime of Victoriano Huerta. Carranza led the Constitutional Army, which aimed to restore constitutional order and overthrow Huerta's dictatorship. His efforts were part of a broader coalition of revolutionary leaders seeking to address issues of land reform and social justice in Mexico.
