Hidalgo’s following grew from 300 to over ½ million people and in not time Hidalgo’s enraged revolutionaries tore through Mexico. After moderate success Hidalgo was defeated by a band of Royalists and while fleeing the country for the US he was disowned by one of his fellow companions and killed.

José Doroteo Arango Arámbula AKA Pancho Villa was a revolutionary who left a mark on History. Pancho Villa left a mark in history by leading the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920 to fight against the perpetrator who let foreign businesses to come into Mexico: Porfirio Diaz.
During the first weeks of 1911, Zapata continued to build his organization in Morelos, training and equipping his men and consolidating his authority as their leader. Soon, Zapata's band of revolutionaries, poised to change their tactics and take the offensive, were known as Zapatistas. On February 14, Francisco Madero, who had escaped the authorities to New Orleans, returned to Mexico, knowing that it was time to restart his revolution with an all-out offensive. Less than a month later, on March 11, 1911, "a hot, sticky Saturday night," the bloody phase of the Mexican Revolution began at Villa de Ayala. There was no resistance from the villagers, who were mostly sympathetic to the revolution, being sharecroppers or hacienda workers themselves, and the local police were disarmed quickly. Not all battles that followed were this quick, however. The revolution took its bloody course with the legendary Pancho Villa fighting in the northern part of Mexico, while Zapata remained mainly south of Mexico City. On May 19, after a week of extremely fierce fighting with government troops, the Zapatistas took the town of Cuautla. Only forty-eight hours later, Francisco Madero and the Mexican government signed the Treaty of Ciudad Juárez, which ended the presidency of Porfirio Díaz and named Francisco León de la Barra, former

Cortez temporarily left the city leaving Pedro De Alvarado in charge. Pedro ended up murdering several priests and religious leaders which caused the Aztecs to revolt.

Miguel Hidalgo was a Mexican catholic priest and a very intelligent man. He went to college and studied psychology and theology. Although he was a priest he had four children out of wedlock and probably several others that seem to be unknown. Miguel was also said to have a significant sense of style, and he was very flamboyant. From knowing just this little information about him, I could tell he was up for anything. On September 16,1810, Hidalgo lead his people, Indians and other indigenous people, in a revolt against Spain. He was trying to get Mexico out from under Spanish rule. He spoke to his people about a revolution. Miguel had prepared for two years for this to take place, but unfortunately his plans had been leaked. Spain had discovered
The Spanish monarchs of the 16th century wanted to expand to “the new world,” so they got rich nobles who were willing to explore uncharted territory. These people are now known as conquistadors. They were the lucky few that got a new life away from all the troubles of Europe. Most of them went to conquer the Caribbean islands, some went to Florida, and some went to Mexico. Panfilo de Narvaez, unlike most, went to all of those places. The only information about his early life is that he was born of noble family. He went to Cuba; there he helped Spain conquer the Island, by commanding a small group of Crossbowmen. After that, he went to Mexico, by order of Diego de Velasquez, to take control away from the treasonous Hernando Cortes. Valesquez had him do this because he stole Mexico, not only from Spain, but also Moctezuma (Schneider 8). There he lost an eye and got captured. After 1-5 years (no two authors agreed) he went back to Spain.
He first saw action in Florida against the Seminole Indians. However, he was not involved in the Mexican-American war like most of his contemporaries. As a result of this he quit in 1853, then joined his brother in the banking industry.
Villa joined forces with other revolutionaries such as Emiliano Zapata and Venustiano Carranza to end Huerta. Over the years Venustiano and Villa did not like working together so they became rivals for years. Villa fought in the war with U.S. troops until. Francisco was forgiving by Mexican President Adolfo de la Huerta about an agreement which excuse him for his actions. Villa tired to put an end to his independent military activities and wanted to live a quiet life. In 1923 Villa was assassinated.
Hernando Cortes was one of the bravest military leaders of all time. Born in Medellin, Spain, he was a Spanish Conquistador who conquered most of Central America. He also gave Spain three-hundred years of control over Mexico. Cortes started exploring in the early 1500’s. He explored to find riches and conquered by being observant of the natives. With a small army, he conquered the Aztec Empire. Cortes went to the university in Salamanca, Spain. He attended the university to study Latin and Law. Unfortunately, Cortes completed only two years of school. He returned to his family in Medellin, Spain. However, life became boring for him. Nevertheless, Christopher Columbus inspired Cortes to explore the New World. Finally, Cortes was able to
This is largely due to the fact that Diaz gave away the country's wealth to buy the loyalty of some, by gifts of haciendas (large estates), concessions or cash. Under his leadership, the gap between the rich and the poor grew undoubtedly larger due to his disregard of democratic principles and the common folk, and his acute determination to keep his dictatorship by any means possible. One of the most renowned opposition leaders of Diaz at the time was the European-educated Francisco Madero. Madero led a series of strikes in resistance to Diaz across the country and eventually ran against him in the election for presidency in 1911. Although Madero had a significant number of votes, Diaz had him imprisoned because he felt the people of Mexico were not ready for democracy, and feared the loss of his own presidency. Madero was not released until after the election so that votes could be tabulated in favour of Diaz. When released from prison, Madero continued to fight against his former adversary. Madero led the first phase of the armed revolution which resulted in Diaz's defeat and to his own presidency reign until 1913. It was during this time that many of the folk heroes of the Revolution emerged, including Francisco "Pancho" Villa of the North, and Emiliano Zapata of the South. In 1913 Madero was assassinated by A Mexican general by the name of Victoriano Huerta. Victoriano and his federal army was defeated in a coalition of armies led by Alvara Obregon, who took
