Military history of Mexico - Background to the War of Independence.
The backgrounds to Mexico's struggle against Spain for its independence have been argued to have taken root as early as 1650, when an Irishman, William Lamport, attempted to revolt against Spanish rule in Mexico, cause an uprising among the Mexican people, and overwhelm any resistance of the Spanish.
However, events in the late 18th and early 19th centuries may be best summed as to ha ...

Military of Mexico - The lottery.
Each year, the Mexican military recruiters require all Mexican males that reached the age of majority of 18 in the previous 12 months to appear at a designated military recruitment center in their local municipality. A lottery is held to determine randomly who will be assigned either Army service, Navy service, or be excused from service completely.
The lottery may take the form, for example, of all men in attendance standing at attention for hours while each man's name is called, during which a child pulls a colored ball out of a bag- the col ...

| | | | Military history of Mexico: Encyclopedia II - Mexican Revolution - End of the Porfiriato The armed conflict began over alleged electoral fraud perpetrated by General Porfirio Díaz in 1910; Díaz had been president virtually uninterruptedly since 1876. While his presidency was characterized by promotion of industry and the pacification of the country, it came at the expense of the working and farmer/peasant classes, which generally suffered extreme exploitation. As a result, wealth, political power, and access to education was concentrated in just a handful of families with large estates as well as some companies of foreign orig ...

| | | | Military history of Mexico: Encyclopedia II - Mexican Revolution - After Huerta In an attempt to restrain the slaughter, the governor of the northern state of Coahuila, Venustiano Carranza, formed the Constitutional Army with an eye towards bringing peace via adoption of the majority of the rebel social demands into a new constitution. He managed to incorporate most of the demands into the Constitution of 1917. The Constitution addressed foreign ownership of resources, an organized labor code, the role of the ...

| | | | Military history of Mexico: Encyclopedia II - Mexican Revolution - United States involvement The U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Henry Lane Wilson, was involved in plotting the February 1913 coup d'état that overthrew Francisco I. Madero and installed Victoriano Huerta.
On April 9, 1914, officials in the port of Tampico, Tamaulipas, arrested a group of U.S. sailors — including, crucially, at least one taken from on board his ship, and thus from U.S. territory. Mexico's failure to apologize in the terms demanded led to the U.S. navy's bombardment of the port of Veracruz and t ...

| | | | Military history of Mexico: Encyclopedia II - Mexican Revolution - Huerta's reign With Madero dead, Huerta seized power. This usurpation of power was supported by the landed aristocracy, who saw this as an effort to restore the Díaz system.
Local leaders redirected their efforts, this time fighting against the new government and accusing Huerta of plotting Madero's murder in cahoots with the United States ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson. Leaders such as Villa, Zapata, Carranza and Obregón led the fighting against Huerta. Pressure from the United States, brought to bear with the occupation of Veracruz after the Tampico incident, combined with the assaults ...

| | | | Military history of Mexico: Encyclopedia II - Mexican Revolution - Madero's presidency A provisional government headed by Francisco León de la Barra was formed, which made efforts to disband the revolutionary troops — such as sending forces in Morelos against the Zapatistas for their confiscation and distribution of hacienda land.
In 1911, Madero was elected overwhelmingly. However, Madero enjoyed neither support from his former allies, who claimed the revolution's goals had been betrayed, nor from the members of the old regime. Madero's refusal to enact land reforms caused a break with Zapata who announced the Plan of Ayala, which called for the return of l ...

The Mexican Revolution came about as a protest against the tyrannic and aging Porfirio Díaz, and to quell social and economic injustices as found under his regime.
