In 1876 he overthrew the government of President Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada. Initially, he advanced a platform of reform, using the slogan "No Re-election" (for the President). After appointing himself President on November 29, 1876, he served one term and then dutifully stepped down in favor of Manuel González, one of his underlings. The four-year period that followed was marked by corruption and official incompetence, so that when Díaz stepped up in the next election he was a welcome replacement, and there was no remembrance of his "No R ...

With Caranza dead, Congress named de la Huerta interim president of Mexico until presidential elections could be held and a new president sworn into office on November 30, 1920.

Felipe Adolfo de la Huerta Marcor was born in the port city of Guaymas, Sonora, on May 26, 1881. His father was a merchant who had established good relations with the Yaqui Indians of the region, and the family's comfortable middle-class status enabled it to send Adolfo to Mexico City to study. He made good use of his time there, studying bookkeeping as well as singing (he had a very good tenor voice) and the violin. His father's death abruptly ended his studies, and he was forced to return to Guaymas. He found work as an accountant for a local bank and later as an administrator in a tannery, although h ...

Porfirio Díaz was born in 1830 in the city of Oaxaca, Oaxaca. He was a Mestizo, of Mixtec Native American and Spanish ancestry. His father, José de la Cruz Díaz, died when he was 3 years old. His mother, Patrona Mori de Díaz, was an innkeeper until that business failed. She sent young Porfirio to the Seminario Pontifical in 1843, but he was not cut out for the priesthood. He joined the local militia in 1846, dreaming of defending the country from a threatened United States invasion. Tutored by Benito Juarez, he studied law and passed the legal exams in 1853. Díaz soon became a prominent local activist in the liberal oppositi ...

Díaz embarked on a program of modernisation, attempting to bring Mexico up to the level of a modern state. His principal advisers were of a type called científicos, akin to modern economists, because they espoused a program of "scientific" modernisation. These included the building of railroad and telegraph lines across the country, including the first Mexican railway between Veracruz and Mexico City. Under his rule the amount of track in Mexico increased tenfold; many of these rails remain in operation today without remodelling. He ...

In a 1908 interview with the U.S. journalist James Creelman, Díaz stated that Mexico was ready for democracy and elections and that he would step down and allow other candidates to compete for the presidency. Francisco I. Madero answered the call for candidates. Although Madero was very similar to Díaz in his ideology, he wanted to allow for other elites in Mexico to rule alongside the President, unlike Díaz. Díaz, however, did not appr ...
