Victoriano Huerta was forced out of office in Mexico primarily due to a combination of internal opposition and external pressure. His authoritarian regime faced significant resistance from revolutionary leaders like Venustiano Carranza and Francisco Villa, who rallied various factions against him. Additionally, the United States, which initially supported Huerta, shifted its stance and backed his opponents, leading to his eventual resignation in July 1914.
The extremely violent civil war that broke out in Mexico in 1911 drove hundreds of thousands of refugees north across the border, and forced Wilson to intervene. Francisco Madero, an idealistic reformer who came to power in 1911. Madero tried to violently upend the social order in Mexico by destroying the landed aristocracy and the Catholic Church. When Madero was overthrown and murdered by Victoriano Huerta in February 1913, days before Wilson took office, he refused to recognize the new Mexican government. Relations deteriorated between the two countries. After American sailors were arrested in Tampico in April 1914 by Huerta's soldiers, the armed conflict loomed. American soldiers occupied Vera Cruz. In July 1914 Huerta fled to Spain. In 1916 the civil war between warlords Venustiano Carranza and Pancho Villa continued, and in March Villa raided Columbus, New Mexico, killing 20 Americans.[21] Wilson sent Brigadier General John J. Pershing deep into Mexico to capture Villa. Villa escaped the Americans. Despite the demands of outraged senators, Wilson did not declare war on Mexico. He ran for reelection in 1916 on the slogan, "He kept us out of war," meaning out of a war with Mexico.
They all wanted Huerta out of office
Porfirio Diaz (1830-1915) qualifies as such.
Francisco Madero fell from power due to a combination of political unrest, dissatisfaction among various factions, and a lack of effective governance. His inability to address the demands of revolutionaries and various political groups led to increasing opposition. In February 1913, he was ousted in a coup led by General Victoriano Huerta, who had previously been Madero's military commander. Madero was subsequently arrested and assassinated shortly after his removal from office.
Resign from office.
Victoriano Huerta
General Victoriano Huerta (1850-1916) qualifies as such. He co-conspirated with the American ambassador in Mexico, Henry Lane Wilson, to assassinate Madero and his Vice-President, Jose Maria Pino Suarez.
Took office during the early days of the Madero precidency by having his asssinated. He was the leading general of ex-dictator Porfirio Diaz but Madero retained him after Diaz's ouster.
Although US President Woodrow Wilson had stuck to his policy of leading the nation in foreign affairs, he was careful when he took office to not exercise any extraordinary foreign measures until 1914. At that time Wilson sent US troops to protect Americans in Mexico. At that time the ruler of Mexico, Huerta, was not recognized as the leader of a recognized regime. To most Americans and the US Senate, Huerta's regime was a illegitimate one. Although Wilson had taken this action without consulting with Congress, few objected for the need of Wilson to act swiftly to protect Americans in Mexico at that time.
