No choice but to start with the bad in this story: Don Porfirio Díaz. So bad that after thirty years in the presidential chair is just a street, I know of any monument or bronze bust of the public. As history is written, in letters of gold, Don Porfirio victors sent me, together with the doll ugly tackle the attic of broken and old.
As you know Mr. José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori was born in Oaxaca September 15 1830, date at that time were not celebrated, it became military, back in his homeland, he participated with General Zaragoza at the Battle of Puebla and other military activities to come victorious (short time) in the Mexico City. Events that brought him to pad his resume military and empowered as liberal. We have a full-fledged military leader.
the triumph of the Republic, against another malisimo: Maximilian of Hapsburg, the turn of a new presidential election, General Diaz decides to fight him the presidency no less than Don Benito, his countryman, as expected came out defeated, it is retired to his home in La Noria in Oaxaca. Stubborn
ran for high office again in 1871 being defeated, but not as bad as last time (Benito Juárez : 5,837 votes, Porfirio Díaz : 3,555 votes and Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada : 2,874 votes .) As did not like the contested results is not known for sure but the bad language to talk he called illegitimate and spurious Juarez, retired to his land Oaxacan Launches Plan de la Noria and is up in arms. Achieving some victories, but fate and die through Juarez, Lerdo de Tejada assumed the presidency, disrupting the movement of La Noria. In 1875 Lerdo
announces
seeking reelection. Without wasting Porfirio Diaz is up in arms now called Revolution Tuxtepec, manages to claim victory and power after a series of messes, exile and battles (two years) between various factions. Takes power May 5, 1877 when he swears before Congress.
Don Porfirio We already have sitting in the chair that will not leave until his departure in the May 25, 1911. The four-year tenure, his friend Manuel Gonzalez, the president ordered all know that El Caudillo, past the Maximato.
filled with lust for power far, nobody has been in power for so long with so many powers. Don Porfirio
had no fool. Maíceo the warlords by giving state governments or regional or local power in exchange for subordination to pacify the country. On the other hand, as a modern intelligensia positivist, to govern: scientists, shoemaker to your shoes. Development
estates, promoted a degree of industrialization, invited the French, British, German and northern cousins \u200b\u200bto invest and to colonize Mexican soil. Mexico's nineteenth-century modernization. Washed liberalism with authoritarianism and global integration. Any resemblance to other times is entirely coincidental.
institutionalized revolution sold the idea, not really absent, the intensification of the exploitation of laborers on the farm. From there to be the righteous cause of the revolution is a long way.
As time does not forgive us was getting old (elderly) The President Caudillo not find formula for its replacement, paving the way for democratic Madero rebellion and thirst for power of many others.
be continued ......
