The leader of the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century was Francisco I. Madero. He emerged as a principal revolutionary figure against the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, advocating for democratic reforms and social justice in Mexico. Madero’s call for revolution was rooted in widespread discontent over land distribution, labor conditions, and political repression faced by the Mexican people. He initiated the revolution by issuing the Plan of San Luis Potosí in 1910, which rallied support for armed resistance. Madero eventually became president in 1911, but his time in power was short-lived due to political struggles and assassination in 1913. His efforts laid the foundation for subsequent leaders and further revolutionary change in Mexico.
