Description
Summary:Mexican revolutionaries overthrew the dictatorship of General Victoriano Huerta in the summer of 1914. Soon thereafter a new civil war broke out between two factions of the victorious rebels, headed by respectively Venustiano Carranza and Francisco “Pancho” Villa. This article discusses some aspects of the 1913 prelude to the so‐called War of the Winners. Villa’s forces did not – as often believed – develop in isolation from, but rather in interaction with Carranza and his entourage during the spring and summer of 1913. This may have bearings on our understanding of the rupture between these revolutionary factions.
