He was born as a farm laborer who only spoke Zapotec (an Amerindian language). His intelligence was notable, and his rise throughout Mexican politics was meteoric, to say the least.

He was also the first Mexican leader who did not have a military background, and also the first full-blooded indigenous national to serve as President of Mexico and to lead a country in the Western Hemisphere in over 300 years.
