Madero calls for Mexican revolution
November 20, 1910
From exile in Texas, Francisco Madero issued the Plan of San Luis Potosi and asked Mexicans to rise against the aging dictator Porfirio Diaz. They did, with Pancho Villa riding north and Emiliano Zapata seizing land in Morelos. Ten years of civil war followed. Perhaps a million Mexicans died in the upheaval.
