The fall of Porfirio Díaz
1911 · Event
Six months after Madero's call — and two weeks after the rebels take Ciudad Juárez — the 80-year-old dictator resigns and sails for Paris, warning that Madero has 'unleashed a tiger; let us see if he can tame it'. He can't: the revolution has nine more years to run.
